READ.ME
This information is from the documentation. I've put it in this file
to call your attention to it. Please read this. Thank you.
Notes:
Here is some more information about FindZ, while not a BUG list, it
does describe the behavior of FindZ, and lets you know what is and
what is not a real bug. This *is* a release version, but it has not
been tested by anyone other than myself. I don't trust myself.
FindZ v.1.15ß - Directory Searcher
o FindZ counts ZOO files in its totals when they themselves meet
the criteria. This may be confusing until you think about
it. If you do "*.*", you are (literally) asking for all
files.
o FindZ needs to have a "SET" parameter to be able to have a
default "path" of drives to select and look at.
o FindZ still needs to better optimize it's recursive directory
functioning, but is much better than before.
o Source Code needs to be available. Future releases may have
it available. (Still debating, anyone really interested?)
FindZ v.1.00ß - Directory Searcher
From the 1.00 docs, for historical value
o FindZ counts ZOO files in its totals when they themselves meet
the criteria. This may be confusing until you think about
it. If you do "*.*", you are (literally) asking for all
files.
o FindZ may have problems when you do not specifiy any path (eg:
FindZ *.ARC). All known bugs have been worked out, but it is
better to specifiy a path, such as: FindZ C:\*.ARC.
[fixed, now "getcwd" to find current path]
o FindZ does not check to see if the selected drive is available
for reading. It will bomb out (Abort, Retry, Ignore, Fail) if
you select a floppy, or other device that has no disk
installed. This will be fixed in the next version.
[fixed, but slow, and only for drives specified;
default drive is not checked, should it be?]
o FindZ does not have an option to only select archive searching.
[fixed, and how!]
o FindZ knows nothing about ARC archives, and should be able to
search them as well. Please contact me if you are interested
in this. This will be down on my list. The more responses,
the higher up it goes. [ Ug, do I have to :-) ]
o FindZ needs to be better optimized in its recursive directory
management. This will be re-worked in a later version.
[done, but still needs more refinement]
o FindZ does not check multiple drives. This will be fixed in a
later version. [multiple arguments instead, SET parameter
to be later implemented]
I'm sure there are several other things that I have left out here. I
still have much work to do on the program, but feel that it has good
value to be released in its present form.
If you are interested in BETA testing THIS program, please contact me
(preferable by FidoNET mail, or through the BBS).
I am interested in looking for some good BETA tester(s). There are
several projects that I am/have worked on that need some good
through going over.
