WHERE (2K Resource Kit / .Net Server)

Locate and display files in a directory tree.

The WHERE command is roughly equivalent to the UNIX 'which' command.
For early versions of windows that don't have this command you can use this WHICH batch file.

By default, the search is done in the current directory and in the PATH.
