Zorg is Shareware and may be freely distributed for non-commercial
purposes. If you use Zorg regularly you must pay a Shareware fee of 100
FF (France), 12£ (UK), 30 DM (Germany) or 20$ (US) to me (Ludovic
Rousseau).
Zorg is NOT a Freeware Program and NOT be included on magazine cover
disks, subscriber disks or CD-ROM collections without my prior written
permission. Any contravention of my wishes will be strongly challenged.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Ze ORGanizer (ZORG) is a program which allows you to do all you always
wanted to do with your disks ou file systems.
The main goal is to consult and/or change a file. ZORG is a program
like DISK DOCTOR or MUTIL but is really better :-). It has, for example,
the capability of editing 2 or more files at the same time in nice GEM
windows.
The second goal is to reorganise a file system. Before a reoganisation
(compression in the PC-DOS vocabulary but no data are compressed) I
recommend you to backup your disk.
The third goal is for people for wich the architecture of a TOS file
system has no secret. They have the possibility to change a directory
entry or the FAT directly.
The fourth goal is to test the structure of the file system. It is a
kind of 'fsck' for TOS. It is very important to regularly verify the file
system and especialy after a system crash during a disk write.
=============================================================
ATTENTION - WARNING - ACHTUNG - ATTENTION - WARNING - ACHTUNG
=============================================================
BEFORE ANY READ OR WRITE OF A FILE AND BEFORE ANY REORGANISATION YOU
MUST TEST THE DISK STRUCTURE WITH 'Test de la Structure'. IF ZORG DETECTS
A PROBLEM, YOU HAVE TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM DEFORE GOING ANY FURTHER.
REORGANISING AN UNTESTED DISK MAY LEAD TO A TOTAL LOSS OF THE PARTITION.
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
USABLES COMPUTERS:
==================
ZORG should work on any Atari computer (ST/STf/Mega ST/STe/Mega
STe/TT/Falcon030 and compatibles).
ZORG uses the system functions to access disks, it potentialy can use
any kind of disks recognised by the system.
ZORG is also able to access drives with very low level functions. It
support ACSI, SCSI and IDE drives. For computers without the DMAread()
system call (i.e. ST/STf and STe) I have writen my own low level
routines. They work great on a MegaFile 30 but are untested on other
drives.
LIMITS OF THE PROGRAM:
======================
ZORG only recognises TOS partitions. Minix or MAC partitions are not
suppported. you can however access files on those partitions if the
adequat driver is loaded (MINIX.XFS under MiNT for Minix partitions).
NOT YET IMPLEMENTED FUNCTIONS:
==============================
Some functions are not yet implemented. They are "Ouvrir la FAT" (open
the FAT), "Rassemble les Répertoires" (gather directories) et "Les Trois
Phases" (the 3 phases) and the possibility to search backward.
They will be added as soon as I have time. The file CHANGES.TXT
contains a list of planed improuvements (sorry this file is in french).
STILL TO DO:
============
If you wish to see a new option or possibility in ZORG, if you have
discovered a bug ou if you simply want to great me for this work, you can
(you have to) send me a mail to rousseau@cnam.cnam.fr.
