Unix has some great tools for searching for folders and files. Are
there similar ones in VMS like `grep` or `find`?

THe folder structure in OpenVMS is wierd... what's the root folder
equivalent is it [000000] or is it cleverer than that?

$ DIR disk:[000000...]FOOBAR.TXT

$ SEARCH disk:[000000...]*.TXT FOOBAR

etc. can do some.

If that is not sufficient then look for various tools on the
Freeware CD.
