- 2 SECONDS! To scan a 120MB drive? Either it's really empty, or
- it cheats by prebuilding a database of files (either in a file or
- in memory).
-
- I've got a small (less than 15K executable) and fast (3:05 for
- a _full_ 220MB hard drive, scanning for amitcp)... I'm working
- on adding more features to it (multiple styles of wildcards,
- multivolume searches, etc.). It was even featured in the July '94
- AmigaWorld. :) If anyone wants a copy, just e-mail me.
