[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Info Rqstd On Floppy Disk Catalog SW

jpw@anuck.UUCP (j.p.walsh) (02/09/89)

I need to review the contents of many floppy disks, print a list of
their contents (including files in subdirectories), and sort the contents
of multiple disks by file name, date, etc.

Can anyone recommend shareware or public domain software that will
help me organize my collection of floppy disks?

Thanks in advance.

I have been using WSSI338 (my most recent download of it) and it is
quite good. It handles many disks, sorts by date time name ext volume
etc. It can also output the whole catalog to a disk file which I find 
useful since this allows me to do a quick search with grep.  Also, it
has a util that will read comments from a BBS list and append them as
descriptions to your catalog. By downloading the complete listing from
some popular bbs's you can comment a large portion of your PD software.
