should work.

intro

find lets you traverse directory trees and print paths and sys-stat(2)
information about a file.  it is intended to be easier to use than
fs(1), alphabet-fs(1) and/or du(1) with various combinations of grep,
sed and for-loops with ftest(1).  find's usage is different from the
unix version (most importantly, it uses standard option syntax).

install

change the "mkconfig" if you do not have $ROOT set.  now "mk install"
to compile and install the files.
when building from within inferno, insert SYSHOST=Inferno and ROOT=
in the mk invocations to override the values in the mkconfig.
