Hello.  I used to think that I just can't figure out how to use find.  Now that
I use GNU find under Linux, it seems that find isn't that hard to use. 
However, I still don't have luck with djgpp find.  

I went to simtel to make sure I had the current find41b.zip, and after
reinstalling I still have trouble getting find to find anything.  Here's a
short example:

inside C:\ELC\trash there is:

autotest.bat
dosmode.err
...
spanish.wav
text.zip

I issue the command: find . -name "text.zip"
...and find says: FIND: Parameter format not correct

if I say: find /elc/trash -name 'text.zip' -print
find says: FIND: Parse Error 3

It doesn't seem to matter whether I'm using bash or command.com.
Hmm.  What's happening here?
