WhereIsIt is also good. I have been using it for the past 4 years. The free/shareware version has the limitation that you can open only one catalog at a time. It works without much problem in Wine.

"ls -R | grep ":$" | sed -e 's/:$//' -e 's/[^-][^\/]*\//--/g' -e 's/^/ /' -e 's/-/|/'"

In Linux can be used to display Tree structure of a directory or partition or CD and then the output can be directed to a text file which can be searched.

Very tricky though.. :D
Thats why...
+1 for CD-Catalog Expert..:D

@quiz_master:-
yaar, that's easier in windows...
well in windows go to DOS n write:-

tree E: /f >filename.txt

n the entire list will be saved as filename.txt in the current location...
