FFF is a full featured, flexible and customizable file finder for OS/2 2.x and
Warp. It lets you search for files from a selected list of start paths on any
available drive (even mapped network drives) by search criteria like the
file name (of course long names on HPFS drives are supported), date, time,
size and attributes (even search for files which have/do not have EAs) Search
results are displayed in a container and can easily be manipulated by DRAG &
DROP. Additionally, they can be: started with their default association,
deleted by a single keystroke or edited with your favourite editor by a simple
mouse click. FFF is customizable: simply use the Color and Fonts Palettes to
drag and drop your favourite look.
The English Version 1.31 of the Frisky File Finder is available as FFF131e.ZIP
and the German version will follow soon as FFF131d.ZIP You will find it on
many FTP servers like:
ftp-os2.cdrom.com (HOBBES)
ftp.leo.org (Link Everything Online - Munich, Germany)
or on the BMT Micro Shareware Site, URL:
http://www.wilmington.net/bmtmicro/
This was new in Version 1.3:
+ completely new user interface, Version 1.3 comes in Notebook format.
+ A new search criterion 'EA' has been added, it allows to search for files
which have/do not have EAs.
+ The size of the files' EAs is listed in the 'Results' Container
+ A Settings Notebookpage has been added with many options to customize FFF
as there are:
+ the editor for editing search result files can be changed
(even multi-file editors such as EPM are supported)
+ the priority of the background thread for searching files
+ the date style (DD/MM/YY or DD/MM/YY)
+ some other startup parameters
+ many other minor enhancements
And this is new in Version 1.31:
+ Support for UNC-Pathnames (universal naming convention) FFF is now able to
search any path that is accessible via an UNC-Path, so it is no longer
necessary to map a network path to a local drive before searching.
+ A new switch 'Don't ask me trivia' will turn off trivial questions as 'Do
you want to edit the selected files' if you like
+ REDUCED PRICES!!
Registration fee now is US$19 for private Users (with a BULK DISCOUNT of
US$4 if five or more licenses are ordered at a time) and US$40 for business
use. A company license is available on demand.
