- Hi Bob!
-
- I'm thrilled with my growing collection of CD-ROMs from you. To help me
- locate the files that I seek I wrote a tiny, fast utility. I wrote it
- last Saturday out of desperation, since I KNEW that the file was there
- somewhere, but my home machine doesn't like "less"ing through files that
- are as large as your index files are, and grep doesn't tell me what
- directory the file is in.
-
- It searches your index files (either index.txt or 00_index.txt), remem-
- bering the most recent line starting with "Directory: ". It performs the
- equivalent of "grep -i" on the pattern, and when found prints the most
- recent directory line (if it hasn't already been printed) and the line
- that was found.
-
- I will be happy to give it to you, if you will tell me where/how to send it.
- I have source, executable and readme in a .zip file on one of my unix
- boxes here, and can uuto, encode-and-email, postal mail a floppy, whatever
- you wish. Several of my CD-purchasing friends rave about it, and feel that
- you might wish to include the executable with future issues.
-
- Thanks.
