Of all the above only the File Finder really needs some examples so here they are.

find all *.cpp files on the current drive and display them using a list program
ff \*.cpp /exec:"list {fullname}"

find all *.cpp files under \cpp\src one level deep and create a .cmd file to compile them
ff \cpp\src\*.cpp /tree:1 /print:"bcc -c {fullname}\n" > makeall.cmd

find all files on all drives that are 0 bytes long
ff \* /size:=0 /print /a /q /fi

find all files on all drives that were written to on 31.3.1994 & not since
ff \* /date:=31.3.1994 /print /a /q /fi

find all files on all drives that were written to on or after 31.3.1994
ff \* /date:+=31.3.1994 /print /a /q /fi

the comparison operators following the /size: & /date: options are as follows
!=      not equal
-=      less than or equal
+=      greater than or equal
=       equal
-       less than
+       greater than

the date format must be as follows (ie. the year must be four digits)
ff \*.exe /date:=12.3.1994 /print

END
