Thanks, Jim, Shawn and nobu for replying. All of your suggestions work. They
are all so slow though. I guess when man find says "find recursively
descends the directory tree for each file listed..." I'm supposed to take
that literally. I was hoping that find would be smart enough to just search
the catalog.
