WBSearch 1.0 - 1993 Mike Austin Disclaimer ---------- I am not responsible for any faulty actions of WBSearch. Don't worry, the only thing that can happen is a crash...it doesn't write to your drive or anything like that. This program is FreeWare! I only wish that you try to send some example code my way...preferably in C or C++. Thanks! What is WBSearch? ----------------- WBSearch is a simple file searching utility that opens an AppMenuItem for itself and stays resident. How do I use WBSearch? ---------------------- To use WBSearch, all you have to do is click on an icon or icons, enter the search pattern, and click on Ok or hit return. The search pattern does not support pattern matching symbols, only matches letters in the filename in continuous order. The search is non case sensitive. Click on the 'Stop' button to stop the search, and once more to get rid of the display. If the search has finished already, you only need to click on 'Stop' once. You may resize the window as it is searching, and the gadgets will resize themself accordingly. This is usefull if you have huge paths, and need to see the whole filename. How do I quit WBSearch? ----------------------- Easily. Just select the AppMenuItem without any icons, and press 'Yes' to quit, or 'No' to cancel. About WBSearch -------------- WBSearch is fully multitasking, meaning you can open multiple search displays, and search multiple devices/directories. Just be carefull when searching the same floppy, or any device for that matter...it can wreak havok with the heads going back and forth between locations. Each spawned process is given 16KB because it uses a recursive function to enter directories, and is the only way to do it. If anybody actually overflows this stack, I will implement a ToolType in the icon for a variable stacksize. You may select multiple icons of devices/directories to search and it will search each one by one. If you would like to search multiple files at the SAME time, you will have to select search from the menu two times.

I just finished this August 11 at 12:16 on a Wednesday, and don't have any idea for an icon, so I just used the basic SAS 'wrench' icon. Anyone with drawing ability may alter the archive to change the WBSearch.info icon. Hope you enjoy this program! Mike
