Instructions for the use of Disklib.bas
Disklib.bas is a Basic program which keeps a disk library. The program can
create a hardcopy or text file listing of all your programs. The listing
includes all the information you need to find the location of the program on
disk. To make a working copy of Disklib.bas, the program must reside on a
disk named DISKLIB. To create a working disk, just follow this procedure:
1) Copy a Workbench Disk
2 Delete unnecessary file such as the Clock or Demos drawer
3) Rename this copy to DISKLIB
4) Enter the following lines from the CLI
Copy Extras:Amigabasic to DISKLIB:
Copy Extras:Basicdemos/dos.bmap to DISKLIB:
Copy s/startup-sequence to DISKLIB:s
Copy s/end-sequence to DISKLIB:s
(note that files from the s directory must be copied from this disk)
You now have a working copy of Disklib.bas. Just boot on the DISKLIB disk
and run Amigabasic from the CLI. Then load and run disklib.bas.
A useful feature of disklib.bas is the ability to save a disk library as a
text file. The text file can be searched from DOS. For example if the
disk library is named LIBCLI.FILE and you are searching for a program named
Browse, just go to the CLI and type:
SEARCH DISKLIB:LIBCLI.FILE Browse
DOS will return a list of every record which contains the text string
Browse. You can also load the text file into ED and add a brief comment to
each program. These comments can also be searched in the same manner. I
hope you find Disklib.bas to be a useful program.
