- *** FLM-Cataloger 1.2 (c) 1996-97 Denis Unger ***
- *************************************************
-
- For using the dictionaries in this archive you will
- need Foreign Language Master - FLM (current version is 2.31).
- FLM you can find in the aminet (misc/misc/flmXXX.lha) and on the
- FLM-Homepage "http://www.fh-zwickau.de/~deu/".
-
- Why you should use FLM as a file cataloger ?
- ********************************************
-
- 1. FLM is very fast for searching in files.
- 2. You have for one volume (or directory) one dictionary, so you can have any
- config files, e.g. aminet.config (with all aminet files), privat.config (with
- all privat files), ...
- 3. You will see similar files in the listbox.
- 4. You can see if you have files twice on your volumes.
- 5. You can also catalog the size of your files.
- 6. ...
-
- At first I must say that FLM was not programmed for using as a cataloger. FLM
- was programmed as a dictionary program but FLM works also very good as a
- catalog program.
-
- How you can use FLM as a cataloger ?
- ************************************
-
- At first you must generate a dictionary source file for FLM with all files
- on your volume (e.g. CD0:).
-
- make_sourcedic <volume> <file>
-
- Example:
- make_sourcedic CD0: cd0.asc
-
- This little script does following:
- - list over the volume
- list <volume> lformat "%n:%f%s (%l)" all >tmp.txt
- - converting the output file of list to the FLM dictionary source format
- list2flm tmp.txt <file>
- - now delete the temporary file
- delete tmp.txt
-
- The file cd0.asc you must now convert to a FLM "dictionary" with the help
- of FLMconv (see documentation of FLM).
- NOTE: You need only one dictionary for each volume, that means you must not create a
- 2. dictionary.
- Please use as Language 1: "File" and as Language 2 "Dir" because I have used this
- 2 words and all dictionaries should have the same language (Dir<->File).
-
- If you have the "dictionaries" created you can start FLM and add this dictionaries.
- Now you can open the standard dictionary window and type in a filename. The founded
- files (and directories) will now be showed in the left listbox. In the right
- listbox you can see where this files are placed.
- NOTE: From FLM 2.31 you can change the listbox size of Standard dictionary.
-
- If you have any questions etc. send an e-mail to "denis.unger@fh-zwickau.de".
