[comp.sys.mac] File listing on HFS volume

mha@batcomputer.tn.cornell.edu (Mark H. Anbinder) (10/10/88)

I'd like to be able to produce a text file containing a list of all of the
files on my HFS hard disk volume.  Each item in the list needs to be a
complete HFS path to the file.  Is there such a program in existence, or
is there a way that anyone can suggest to write one?  Does anyone feel like
writing it for me?  ;-)

To all those who responded to my request for a Mac program to dearchive .ARC
files from a PC, thanks.  Now I have another question.  Some of the .ARC
files I have are password-protected as well, apparently by the same program
that archived them.  When I try to dearchive these using MacArc, I get a
System Error.  Other .ARC files dearchive fine.  MacArc isn't offering me
a chance to enter a password.  Is it supposed to?  Do I need another program?

The best point to start here would be with Tech Note #68, which gives 
a means of enumerating a disk volume. All that would be left to do would
be to expand the file names, and write the text out to a file. If you're
not a programming type, drop me a message and I'll try to find time to write
it for you...
