Short: File Find Database System V1.2 Author: l.unger@tu-bs.de (Lars Unger) Uploader: l unger tu-bs de (Lars Unger) Type: util/rexx Version: 1.2 Replaces: util/rexx/ffds.lha Requires: util/rexx/RexxReqTools.lha Architecture: m68k-amigaos Kurz: File/Dir Suche mittels Datenbanken V1.2 Introduction ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you ever search a file/directory, you know the problem. You have to scan your Harddisk(s)/CDROMs every time you search one and if you use a wrong pattern you have to do it again ... I`ve six partitions and 4 of them, doesn`t change within a month or two. So i decide to write a couple of ARexx-Scripts and AmigaGuides to build databases of every volume. Now i can use a simply textsearcher to search a file/directory, which is must faster than a scan of every volume. If there are a lot of changes on a volume i can update it :) Special manager: - Helpmanager (make index of/search helpfiles) Requirements ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - An Amiga with OS3.0 or higher (could work with OS>2.04 as well, but i haven`t tested this) - RexxReqTools.library - about 100kB for the program and some more free space for the databases - about 0.5-2 MB free RAM (every database is first created in RAM) ( With XPK you can compress the databases !) Installation ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You need an installed rexxreqtools.library to use the Installprogram. Don`t panic, it will delete nothing. It just copy some files in a directory FFDS and the shell-script in a DOS-valid executive path (like c:,s:, etc.) and add a assign in your user-startup.
