i wrote a nice util in Pascal and would like to convert it over to vb5

how can you search all dirs and subdirs for a file in vb5.
does anyone have a routine they can post demostrating this.

sample screen output would be something like:

target file: *.zip
searching: c:\scanning\directories and\subdirs
