- DeAL!
- Disk'em all!
- Drag and Drop utility to combine files to 1.4 MB floppy-disks.
-
- The story so far ...
- After starting downloading files from the Internet,
- I had a lot of files on my small HD and soon ran out of disk-space.
- So I put the unused archives on floppy-disks.
- Hundreds of files later, I got tired of manually fit them on diskettes.
- So the idea of this little application came up.
-
- How does it work?
- When you drop a number of files on DeAL!, they are combined to folders
- of the size of a HD-disk (1440000 bytes). The folders are created in the
- same directory as the files dropped on DeAL!. If a file is too big to fit on
- a disk, it is moved in a folder called "too big!".
- The number of files processed is currently limited to 1000 (one thousand).
- (Have you ever selected more than a thousand files in the finder?)
- Don't worry about dropping more than a thousand files on DeAL!,
- the rest above will not be processed and stays where it came from.
-
- Disclaimer
- This is a quick and dirty hack, this is also my first C program ever.
- Don't worry about your files. (Never listen to someone who tells you Don't worry)
- They are just moved in another folder. So there should be no data loss at all.
-
- Use at your own risk!
- This is Freeware!
- I take no responsibility for any damage caused by this application.
-
- Credits
