Short: Uses databases to locate files/dirs quickly Author: Klaus Melchior Uploader: Klaus Melchior Version: 1.4 Type: util/cli Replaces: util/cli/FDB1_3.lha UDB generates a database of your files at different places, e.g. your hardisks, CD-ROMs, network machines, ... FDB is able to scan this database to find dirs/files very fast. LDB lists a database. CDB converts databases. Based on the same databases of FindDB, UpdateDB V2.1 (c) 1989 - 1992 by Larry Phillips & Martin Steppler, but enhanced: - multi databases - path of databases defineable - preferences as env-variable - loads databases in parts - more commands - amiga style pattern - amiga template arguments - memory pools Changes since 1.3: * path where to find the databases is defineable, but default is 'FindDB:' * size of buffer when loading a database is defineable, databases can be loaded in parts * FDB with faster search routine * database path, buffer size & options can be stored in an environment variable * new programm: CDB, to convert databases into ASCII and vice versa * avoid files during the UDB scan * LDB lists files matching a pattern * memory pools * bugs fixed ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 658 309 53.0% 16-Sep-95 09:52:32 FDB.info 1359 733 46.0% 16-Sep-95 09:52:34 +.Product-Info 10844 7043 35.0% 16-Sep-95 09:52:38 +CDB 14216 8940 37.1% 16-Sep-95 09:52:34 +FDB 9732 6422 34.0% 16-Sep-95 09:52:38 +LDB 11668 7456 36.0% 16-Sep-95 09:52:36 +UDB 659 318 51.7% 16-Sep-95 09:52:34 +Deutsch.info 20831 6912 66.8% 16-Sep-95 09:52:34 +FDB.doc 569 302 46.9% 16-Sep-95 09:52:34 +FDB.doc.info 25446 8083 68.2% 16-Sep-95 09:52:34 +FDB.guide 531 291 45.1% 16-Sep-95 09:52:34 +FDB.guide.info 659 317 51.8% 16-Sep-95 09:52:32 +English.info 19175 6145 67.9% 16-Sep-95 09:52:34 +FDB.doc 569 302 46.9% 16-Sep-95 09:52:34 +FDB.doc.info 23602 7203 69.4% 16-Sep-95 09:52:32 +FDB.guide 531 290 45.3% 16-Sep-95 09:52:32 +FDB.guide.info 103 96 6.7% 16-Sep-95 09:52:34 +fdb.prefs 1213 645 46.8% 16-Sep-95 09:52:34 +FDB1_4.readme 80 57 28.7% 16-Sep-95 09:52:40 +FDB1_4.version -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 142445 61864 56.5% 02-Dec-95 17:28:16 19 files
