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.

P.S. 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!
