The current version of Stringer is not just a Search replacement.  It is a
powerful search and replace tool with a large number of options to get the
desired results.  Currently Stringer has among others the following
features:

 - Stringer can search for any number of multiple strings
 - Strings can be of any size and they can be substrings of other strings
   searched for and they can be read from a file
 - Search and Replace capability for multiple source and destination strings
   with optional individual prompting and backups
 - Can search for strings in archive files (.lha, .zip, etc.)
 - Can hunt for files using file names or file comments
 - Search statistics for matched strings:  match counts, relative space usage
   and relative frequencies
 - Can start a pager for immediate viewing of the matched file
 - Various options for modifying the output to your needs
 - Complete emulation of C:Search with identical ouput if so desired
 - Comprehensive documentation with multiple examples and on-line help
 - Fastest operation of any utility of this kind

New in this version (2.1):

 - Added the ability to insert hex or decimal numbers into search and
   replace strings
 - Changed the NONUMS option to NONUM for complete Search emulation
 - Fixed a bug where if the CASE and QUIET options were used together
   with the REPLACE option the replace was not done.
