Does this mean that nobody out there keeps a list of all the stuff they have on disks? I don't believe it. C'mon folks, you can do better than that! How do you keep track of all your stuff?

Hi Lee, Perhaps the problem was one of your msg. not getting out to the net.I'm not certain but I do not believe that I saw here. Anyways,a possible solution is a STart Mag.prg.called Director used in conjuction with CardSTack,a free form DB.Both are from the Special Issue #3 1988.While not ideal,at least it will give you something to go with until you find something better. IF you should find something that you like better,could you pls let me know,as I'm in the same situation. -- ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// / Kent Cavaghan | "Machines are only Human" / / Vancouver, B.C.

This is in answer to your question about software to keep your libraries in order. I seem to recall quite a few programs to organize archives....there was one by GrimWare, I forget what it was called though. Look on BBS's or the net...Some names I seem to remember is DiskScan, DiskKeeper -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=That is not dead which may eternal lie-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= * Christoper Roth * "Machines have no * InterNet : cr1@beach.cis.ufl.edu * Conscience..." =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=Yet with strange eons even death may die-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Since you insist. I used to use uEmacs, the current librarian and the librarian before me both just use an editor to create and update the list.

You do all that by hand! Get Dscan100 or DskCat or HDScan from your local FTP site, Terminator has them all. Both floppy programs "suck" in the directory of your floppys and you can sort through them and keep them in order. I couldn't imagine doing all this by hand. They all allow searching for files or folders on ANY disk in the data base, it is easy to update when you change your disks or files. HDScan reads all the directorys of your hard drives and lets you find things regardles of how deep they are nested or hidden from you in folders. I just hate to see people doing work that can be done automatically by computers, this is what we have them for isn't it? 8-) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- David M.

Easy. I use SuperBase Personal V2.0 and it does the job perfectly. Even prints labels and lists and such. No problems.

Well, it's a very nice program, but what do I do when I want to catalog my 5 1/4'' disks from drive B: ? I can't select it. It's the feature I miss in this excellent program.
