- There is a interesting library by Ultima Thule Software: quicktools.library
- (and the according QuickTools themselves). It is fully documented and comes
- with includes. It has the ability to allow pattern-matching file/dirsearch
- in a database. These utils (QuickTools) are really very cool and would
- fullfill my needs, but the lib crashes my A1200 every time it has finished
- scan :-(
