Why did I wrote indexer ? Why not :-). Well, I write program (like
dictionary) which manages lot of files (528 files - about 200 KB). I
formatted disk and copied these files on it (it took only (?!) about... 15
minutes (?!). Next I looked at DirOpus panel and saw that there was only
about 288 KB free on the disk ! Why ? Yeah, each of files takes few bytes
extra space (like FileInfoBlock). Don't worry - indexer can help you :-).
The main purpose of this tiny program is to save the disk space and
increase efficiency of disk access. Have you ever tried to copy 528 files
from HD to floppy ? Just press the "Copy" gadget and have a trip with your
dog :-).
