The letters FA, stand for Find All words, or phrase, in a file or files...

This utility started life in assembler on an Intel 8086 processor, at just 4.77 MHz! I wanted it to be FAST! That was a long time ago ;=)) a different era in PC development...

It progressed through 16-bit Windows, and was converted, well re-written in C, and got the '4' added...

The current is WIN32, and it also compiles in WIN64, when/if that is available...

Once in a repo I cloned it into 64-bit Ubuntu (14.04 -'-bit), and did a unix port.

To me, it is a serious competitor to unix venerable grep ;=)) different features, but the same idea - scan a file or files for each instance of a word, or phrase, with lots of options, and report what is found...

Due to the emphasis of do it quickly it memory maps the file contents into this app's space, and uses it as a byte buffer of the file...

Enjoy.
