GOODIES - DESK ACCESSORY
The idea of having a single desk accessory that provides
multiple functions is not new, and recently commercial programs
such as Harlekin] from HiSoft have made the idea popular. Here at
ST USer we searched through the Public Domain to find the best
multi-function desk accessory we could find.
Goodies provides all the functions that you could need inside
any application. Listed below is a brief explanation of the
features of Goodies.
RAMDISK
Ramdisks are always useful, wither for aiding file copy
operations on a single drive machine, or for storing temporary
workfiles. Goodies allows you to set both the size of the disk and
it's identifying letter. If you install a ram disk, then remember
to install an icon on the Desktop to allow you to access it.
PRINT DIRECTORY
Goodies will let you print out a complete directory of ant
disk, either hard or floppy. This is extremely useful for keeping
track of which programs are on which disk.
SET TIME
When you first boot up with Goodies installed, a dialog box
gives you the option to change the system time, a useful option if
your ST doesn't have a battery backed up clock.
SET DATE
Like Set Time this option is displayed when your first boot
up.
BACKUP
Back up selected files from hard to floppy disk (or floppy to
floppy) whenever you need to with this handy function.
UNDELETE
If you accidently delete an important file, then Goodies will
get it back for you. Simply enter the complete file and pathname
for the lost file, and Goodies will do the rest.
FILE COPY
An improved version of the GEM Desktop filecopy routines,
this function will copy individual files much faster than GEM.
All these functions are available from a convenient iconized
from end, available from the Desk menu under the GOODIES entry.
