Last Revision:	Version 1.0, 2003-01-14 Implementing a Cocoa GUI that wraps command-line functionality, calling a UNIX task and presenting the results in a GUI.
Build Requirements:
Runtime Requirements:	Carbon Project Builder 1.1 or higher, Mac OS X version 10.0 or higher

This sample shows how to implement a Cocoa GUI that wraps command-line functionality, calling out to a UNIX task and presenting the results in the GUI to the user. The Process class used for task interaction is intended to be general purpose - feel free to use/adapt it to your own applications. The command-line functionality demonstrated in this case is 'locate' - a command that builds a database of files on the system for searching, a la Sherlock. One interesting thing to note is that locate matches a given string anywhere in a path to a file, not just in the name of a file.
