Introduction
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Use FindUnarc to find all the unarchived files and directories (the ones
with the archive bit cleared) in a drive or directory, so that you can
decide if it is necessary to do a new backup of it. The program can also
be useful to find out temporary files (created after the latest backup)
that you forgot on your hard disk but you do not actually need any more.
Besides you could discover files created by programs that you simply
tested and which you want to delete (config files, prefs files, game
scores, etc.).
Furthermore you can use FindUnarc to get some size information about
disks and files.
System requirements
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
FindUnarc requires Kickstart 2.04+ and the diskfont.library in the LIBS:
directory.
Installation
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Copy FindUnarc anywhere you want (I suggest the C: directory).
Usage
¯¯¯¯¯
FindUnarc can only be started from a Shell window with the following
form:
FindUnarc [<path>]
where <path> must be a valid path name (if not specified, the current
directory will be scanned).
After you start the program, a small window appears on the right of the
screen. It contains the following buttons:
+- Autom - Automatic mode: in this mode the program will scan all the
| directories and subdirectories automatically.
+- Inter - In case you do not want to scan all the directories or
| subdirectories, you can choose the interactive mode: in
| this mode, whenever the program finds a directory, it will
| ask you what you want to do with it (see the Scan, ScanRec
| and Skip commands).
+- Size - In this mode the program will not actually search for
unarchived files or directories, but it will only give you
some size information about the disk and files scanned.
Start - Start scanning the specified drive or directory. All the
unarchived files and directories found are printed in
the Shell window.
Pause - Pause the program.
Abort - Abort the program.
Scan - Scan the directory found. This button is only available
in the interactive mode.
ScanRec - Scan the directory found recursively (all the
subdirectories contained in that directory will be scanned
automatically). This button is only available in the
interactive mode.
Skip - Skip the directory found. This button is only available
in the interactive mode.
After all the files and directories are scanned, the program prints some
information in a form like this:
Unarchived directories: 1
Unarchived files: 15
Directories scanned: 62
Files in directories: 429 (3255998 bytes)
Disk size information:
Bytes per block: 512
Total number of blocks: 8566 (4385792 bytes)
Blocks used: 7240 (3706880 bytes)
Blocks free: 1326 (678912 bytes)
Guarantee
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
The program has been tested several times, but its reliability is not
guaranteed at 100%. I (the author) do not consider myself responsable for
loss or damage of data as consequence of the use of the program. Use
FindUnarc at your own risk.
Copyright

The program is CARDWARE, therefore it is freely distributable on
condition that it is always accompanied by this documentation. Both the
program and its documentation must not be modified in any way. If you
think FindUnarc is useful, let me know by sending me a postcard or an
E-mail message.
