>From article <16137 at pasteur.Berkeley.EDU!, by ahmad at icsib6.Berkeley.EDU (Subutai Ahmad):
! Does anyone have a utility which searches the current directory
! and all its subdirectories for files which match the arguments?
! For example (if it was named lsd), the command
! 	lsd *.c *.h
! would list all the .c and .h files in the current subtree.  It should
! indicate which directories each file came from.
! 
! ls -R * | egrep ".*\.[ch]"  almost works. It lists the files but 
! not their associated directories.
! 

	find . -name "*.[ch]" -print
