- Welcome to CD-Finder!
-
- CD-Finder is no longer Freeware!
-
- This is an easy2use program, which means not many functions but usable ones.
-
- Before you start assign a `BASE-CD:` to an empty directory.
-
- Scannen
- ---------
-
- Enter the name of the CD-Device (or your HD) in the DEVICE-gadget and press
- SCAN to scan. You will be informed about the name of the device.
- The files will be shown in the upper right string-gadget.
-
- Set ENV/CD-Finder.dat to $00000000 to gain a few secs while scanning.
-
- The upper progressgadget shows the functionprogress in percent and the lower
- one counts all entries . A full gadget means 1000 files!
- After scanning CD-Finder will crunch the names with a algo that can compress
- the data up to 90%, but thats not normal. Take 30-50% as a normal value.
- It depends much on the CD, I have had 10% crunching rate on one CD.
-
- At the end some stats will be shown.
-
-
- Edit
- ------
-
-
- Enter the CD with the defectiv files and select the one witch is defectiv to
- delete it from the CD-Index-File.
-
-
- Suche
- -------
-
-
- Enter the searchpattern at TEXT. CD-Finder will change your pattern like this:
-
- ".gif" ------> "#?.gif#?"
-
- While hunting your file the upper progressgadget will show the percentage of
- all CD`s and the lower will again count the entries by 1000 a full gadget.
-
- Please use KingKong-Shell to gain a `SAVE-output-Option` or use STDIO to a
- file.
-
- Importieren

- If you select "Aminet_name.doc" from Aminet-CD you will get a fully

- Choose an Indexfile which you want to see in 3D. CD-Finder will inform
- 3D-Astro to display it if it runs as backgroundtask. To use it seperate
- enter a destination filename.

- Use the command "LOAD=FILENAME" in 3D-Astro to load the file.
-
-
- Exportieren
- -------------
-
-
- The most usefull function is to export your data into several other databases
- like TurboCalc or Exel. CD-Finder can export it into 6 other forms.
- "LOTUS 1-2-3" is not yet supported. The destination form "Nur Text" means
- "ASCII Only" , lets say you copy the decrunched catalog to another file.
-
- At first choose the files, use the arrows to select and deselect it.

- The Output-Cycle-Gadget chooses the virtual Devices like KCON: PIPE: PRT:
- and FILE: . If you selected "File:" you can enter a filename to the right
- or REQuest it.
