	well or Alas, I wrote three more paragraphs but hit an extra key 
	and sent it.  BOING.

	Reason my try failed was that I was searching for "foo" instead 
	of "vbc.tar/vbc.tgz/vbc.tar.gz.  if I have a foo.c|tar|tgz it is
	junked.

	ANYWAY, the thing learned tonight is that it's *XARGS* <cmd>
	instead of -exec abcfubarCmd.  

	bedtime here.

	thanks you guys!  I's gonna put this stuff in a sh script so I
	never have to waste ttwo++ hours.

	gary
