- Disclaimer
- ----------
- I am not responsible for any faulty actions of WBSearch. Don't worry,
- the only thing that can happen is a crash...it doesn't write to your drive
- or anything like that. This program is FreeWare! I only wish that you try
- to send some example code my way...preferably in C or C++. Thanks!
-
- What is WBSearch?
- -----------------
- WBSearch is a simple file searching utility that opens an AppMenuItem
- for itself and stays resident.
-
- How do I use WBSearch?
- ----------------------
- To use WBSearch, all you have to do is click on an icon or icons, enter
- the search pattern, and click on Ok or hit return. The search pattern does
- not support pattern matching symbols, only matches letters in the filename
- in continuous order. The search is non case sensitive. Click on the
- 'Stop' button to stop the search, and once more to get rid of the display.
- If the search has finished already, you only need to click on 'Stop' once.
- You may resize the window as it is searching, and the gadgets will resize
- themself accordingly. This is usefull if you have huge paths, and need to
- see the whole filename.
-
- How do I quit WBSearch?
- -----------------------
- Easily. Just select the AppMenuItem without any icons, and press 'Yes'
- to quit, or 'No' to cancel.

- About WBSearch
- --------------
- WBSearch is fully multitasking, meaning you can open multiple search
- displays, and search multiple devices/directories. Just be carefull when
- searching the same floppy, or any device for that matter...it can wreak
- havok with the heads going back and forth between locations. Each spawned
- process is given 16KB because it uses a recursive function to enter
- directories, and is the only way to do it. If anybody actually overflows
- this stack, I will implement a ToolType in the icon for a variable
- stacksize. You may select multiple icons of devices/directories to search
- and it will search each one by one. If you would like to search multiple
- files at the SAME time, you will have to select search from the menu two
- times.

- P.S. I just finished this August 11 at 12:16 on a Wednesday, and don't
- have any idea for an icon, so I just used the basic SAS 'wrench' icon.
- Anyone with drawing ability may alter the archive to change the
- WBSearch.info icon.
-
- Hope you enjoy this program!
