-
- EXE COMPRESSION
- ===============
- SUPER*SEARCH is aware of being compressed by utilities like LZEXE and
- PKLITE. While in this compressed state, the program will refuse to
- allow a CONFIGURATION operation. This is because the operation will
- fail and expand the file to nearly its original size.
-
- However, don't let the above facts stop you from using SUPER*SEARCH in
- a compressed state. Once you decide on a setup you are comfortable
- with, the program will run fine as a 23k compressed file. Indeed, at
- 23k per copy, you can afford to have two or more copies of SUPER*SEARCH
- reside on your system. Each copy can be preset to have its own unique
- configuration prior to compression.
-
-
-
- Last minute feature
- ===================
- A last minute addition to the program did not make it into the
- user manual. The TODAY Option has been modified to accept a numeric
- parameter to be (subtracted) from the current date. This facilitates
- using the TODAY command to tell you about YESTERDAY (-1 day), a week
- ago from TODAY (-7 days) and so on.
-
- The numeric modifier is entered in a NON STANDARD manner when compared
- to all other SUPER*SEARCH Options. The following examples illustrate
- the proper way to use a modified TODAY Option;
-
-
- SS /T regular SUPER*SEARCH TODAY Option
- show all files dated TODAY
-
- SS /T1 show all files dated YESTERDAY (-1)
-
- SS /T365 show all files dated 1 year ago from
- todays date (-365)
-
- REMEMBER, this is NOT the standard way to enter an Option with a
- parameter. See the manual for proper Usage of other Options.

-
-
- ENJOY!
