Use it on your own risk (I do ;)), you are warned..
What is FindCopy?
-----------------
FindCopy is a program that can find a filename within ABBS
in less than 5-6 seconds ;).. But, if the Filecache (togglecache)
is on, it will take 1-2 seconds to find it.. We are talking
about micro-seconds! ;).. This is quite like, but unlike the
FindFile program someone made for ABBS earlier...
Why the speed !?
----------------
The reason for FindCopy being so fast as it is, is because it's
not using/loading any .FL files to check with. In other words;
It uses the ABBS mainport! :)
Test
----
I have tested this program with and without filecache (these values
are tested when NOT finding a file):
Tested with Amiga 4000/030 2+18 MB RAM
Without Filecache: 6 seconds
With Filecache : 0.40 seconds, great huh!?
Usage
-----
Make sure you have these files:
* PPMORE - Should be located in C:
* LhA - Should be located in C:
* LZx - Should be located in C:
* ARJ - Should be located in C:
You can run this program in two ways, eigther by writing:
FindCopy filename
Or you can just write:
FindCopy
The last one will open a text requester asking you to enter the
name of the file you wish to find.. When found, a requester will
pop up with these choices:
Cancel, Copy to, View, Extract and About..
Cancel - Quit..
Copy to - Copy the found file to a new destination..
View - View Archieve..
Extract - Extract archieve..
About - Show some (useful) info..
