File: Readme file for SEARCH utility
Date: 29th September 1990
SEARCH is a CLI utility that looks for MIDI files and a number of common
IFF files (ILBM pictures, 8SVX sound samples, SMUS files etc).
To use it just open a CLI/SHELL window and type SEARCH followed by the
disk drive to be looked at. SEARCH DF0:, for example will search drive
zero !
This is the sort of output you'll get...
Amiga Format IFF/SMF SEARCH Utility (Paul Overaa 1990)...
IFF ILBM: df0:pictures/pic2
IFF ILBM: df0:pictures/pic3
IFF ILBM: df0:pictures/pic4
IFF 8SVX: df0:AmigaFormat.ss
SMF File: df0:songs/latest_test/if.mid
If you are searching a hard disk or even a floppy with many files and
nested directories then SEARCH may take a minute or two but... it'll be
a lot quicker than any other method ! Redirect the output to a disk file
if you need a permanent copy, eg...
SEARCH >RAM:output DF0:
will send the results to a ramdisk file called 'output' !
The runable version, called SEARCH. the source is called search.c ! Details
about the program can be found in this months tutorial.
Have fun,
