Released: SM2ADDON for IBM SearchManager/2
==========================================
I've written a DLL, which adds some important features to IBM SearchManager/2:
- Support of HTML files
- Support of gzipped files
- Files can be ignored by file-extension
- Format of some specific or all files in a directory can be
specified using a special file
The DLL is free (but of course you need SM/2 to use it), you can download it
via FTP from ftp://hobbes.nmsu.edu/incoming/sm2addon.zip at present, may move
to /os2/diskutil).
Visit my homepage at http://www.cs.tu-berlin.de/~siebert for information
about other OS/2 programs written by me.
What is IBM Searchmanager/2?
============================
The IBM SearchManager/2 (SM/2) is a very powerful tool for easy finding a
document which you remember being on your hard-drive, but have absolutely no
idea, where it is or how it's named.
Just think of it as if you can use AltaVista to search your hard disk (in fact,
AltaVista has released a similar program called "My Computer Private
eXtension", but it only runs on Windows 95 and Windows NT).
Unfortunately the SM/2 is held secret by the IBM marketing and even support is
hard to get (don't bother to search the Internet for fixes, just write to the
support-staff on Compuserve, Forum IBMDES). At least there is some product
information on IBM's WWW pages:
