Short: Demo of Ami-FileSafe V2.01 (New filing system)
Uploader: afssales@flevel.demon.co.uk (AFS Sales)
Type: disk/misc
Features of Ami-FileSafe
------------------------
- AFS has much faster disk access than FFS.
- AFS will store (On average) more data than FFS on the same disk.
- AFS gives vastly improved directory scanning.
- AFS is SAFE - If you crash your machine whilst writing Ami-FileSafe
partitions will not (unlike OFS & FFS) become invalidated
or corrupt.
Restrictions and requirements
-----------------------------
The demonstration version of Ami-FileSafe will not handle partitions of
more than 10MB. It can be installed and automouted in the RidgidBootBlock.
Standard mountlists are also supported. Autobooting is supported. Memory
usage depends on the number of buffers selected.
The full version of Ami-FileSafe is available from Fourth Level
Developments priced £69.95 (UKP).
The full version of Ami-File Safe also:
- Supports partitions of upto 2GB.
- Is supported by a new Vesion of DiskSalv (By Dave Haynie) (Out soon)
- Supports floppy disks.
- Supports MultiUser File System.
- Comes boxed with a full printed manual including instructions on how to
use its most advanced features.
AmigaDos compatibility
----------------------
All Amiga-Dos features are implemented and you shouldn't have any
problems with OS-Legal programs. Some programs such as games and disk
utilities which are not OS-legal will not work with Ami-FileSafe.
N.B. If you use Directory Opus then we suggest you disable the progress
indicator to speed up file operations.
