Short: Quickly act on random files This archive contains version 2.0 of my "Directory Database" suite. Please note these programs ALL require 2.04 or greater. :-) Contents : ~~~~~~~~ The programs contained are : MakeDirDB FindDBEntry DBEntry Also contained in this archive is Jonas Petersson's 'upd' program, which is an ARexx 8SVX sample server, and some scripts to use the Directory Database with your sound samples. Purpose : ~~~~~~~ These programs make and search databases created from Amiga directory trees. It is much faster to search one of these databases for a file, than it is to search the filesystem. Also, you can use these programs to do something with all the files which match a pattern, or with random files. Uses : ~~~~ - Finding a file, when only part of its name is known - Choosing a file at random ++ Playing a random sound sample, either from a script (see the examples), by a hot key (using FKey and the scripts) or a cron program (and the scripts). My amiga plays a random sound sample every quarter hour, between reasonable hours, to keep me awake. Look for CyberCron. ++ Choosing a random background picture (for WB3.0 or via NickPrefs).
