Welcome to CD-Finder!
CD-Finder is no longer Freeware!
This is an easy2use program, which means not many functions but usable ones.
Before you start assign a `BASE-CD:` to an empty directory.
Scannen
---------
Enter the name of the CD-Device (or your HD) in the DEVICE-gadget and press
SCAN to scan. You will be informed about the name of the device.
The files will be shown in the upper right string-gadget.
Set ENV/CD-Finder.dat to $00000000 to gain a few secs while scanning.
The upper progressgadget shows the functionprogress in percent and the lower
one counts all entries . A full gadget means 1000 files!
After scanning CD-Finder will crunch the names with a algo that can compress
the data up to 90%, but thats not normal. Take 30-50% as a normal value.
It depends much on the CD, I have had 10% crunching rate on one CD.
At the end some stats will be shown.
Edit
------
Enter the CD with the defectiv files and select the one witch is defectiv to
delete it from the CD-Index-File.
Suche
-------
Enter the searchpattern at TEXT. CD-Finder will change your pattern like this:
".gif" ------> "#?.gif#?"
While hunting your file the upper progressgadget will show the percentage of
all CD`s and the lower will again count the entries by 1000 a full gadget.
Please use KingKong-Shell to gain a `SAVE-output-Option` or use STDIO to a
file.
Importieren
-------------
Copies the selected Index-file to Base-CD: and cruch it if possible.
If you select "Aminet_name.doc" from Aminet-CD you will get a fully
converted catalog.
Index
-------
Choose an Indexfile. It will be displayed via Datatypes with virtuell
scrolling.
Info
------
This function will display all important information about this Index.
Tree
------
Choose an Indexfile which you want to see in 3D. CD-Finder will inform
3D-Astro to display it if it runs as backgroundtask. To use it seperate
enter a destination filename.
Use the command "LOAD=FILENAME" in 3D-Astro to load the file.
Exportieren
-------------
The most usefull function is to export your data into several other databases
like TurboCalc or Exel. CD-Finder can export it into 6 other forms.
"LOTUS 1-2-3" is not yet supported. The destination form "Nur Text" means
"ASCII Only" , lets say you copy the decrunched catalog to another file.
At first choose the files, use the arrows to select and deselect it.
The Output-Cycle-Gadget chooses the virtual Devices like KCON: PIPE: PRT:
and FILE: . If you selected "File:" you can enter a filename to the right
or REQuest it.
Press Export and it will start. The progressindicator shows the progress in
percent for each file.
Prefs
-------
"Suche in einem File" means "Search in one file only" and will pop up a
filerequester when you activate the search gadget.
"Anzeige beim Scannen" aktivates the displaymode while scanning.
BUG-Reports to Cyborg@Trashcan.de:
BE CAREFULL IF YOU WANT TO START A DMA-INTENSIV-PROGRAM WHILE CD-FINDER SCANs!
IT could crash your system!
Have fun,
Cyborg
