- Count is a simple program that recursivly counts the sizes
- of files within a directory or volume.
-
- * Count is internally multi-threaded so you can count
- many items simultaniously.
-
- * Count works using an AppIcon on workbench and each
- separate window can be iconised so you can even change
- screen mode whilst counting many things simultainously.
-
- * Count can the display physical size as well as logical size
- of files. Generally, on a filing system files take up
- an amount of space that is not equal to the actual file
- size - its generally bigger. This is because files must
- take up at least the size of one block on the filing system
- and often files will not fit exactly into a set number of
- blocks; this difference in size is what is meant by physical
- size as opposed to logical size. This "physical size" is
- sometimes useful to know. Of course, count displays the
- logical size of files to.
-
- You tell count to display physical size by choosing a
- menu option.
-
- * Count can display varying levels of detail whilst it counts
- files.
-
- 1) (Normal) It can display the filename of every single file
- it encounters.
-
- 2) (Faster) It can display only the names of the directorys
- it encounters.
-
- 3) (Fastest) It can display no interim information about the
- counting process at all and only display the results at the end.
-
- * Counting can be both paused and aborted.
-
- * Local preferences are saved into ENV: so during normal use
- you will not have to reselect your prefered options. Of course
- global prefs can be saved to ENVARC: - via a menu item.
-
- * Count uses MUI so the interface is completly font sensitive and
- resizeable.
