Hello net-people! Has anyone developed a system (PD-preferably) by which they've been able to keep track of their files on floppy disks (please don't tell me to get a hard disk, that is the next major purchase for me some time later)? I don't really want a disk labeling program. What I want is some kind of program with which I could either (a) print out the directory of the disk (maybe with comments) and/or (b) store this in some kind of file which I could recall at any time. I realize that I could write the code for this myself -- if I had the time -- or simply do dir/w > prn, but I was looking for something slightly more elegant than that. If anyone has seen (or better yet, has) software answering this description, please e-mail or post replies. Thanks, ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Pat Hirayama - Seattle University E-Mail: ...!dataio!suvax1!hirayama USNail: 28625-47th Place South, Auburn, WA 98001-1140 Blessed is the end user who expects nothing, for they will not be disappointed ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A program called wssindex, available as shareware on many BBS's, does
what you want. It's a high quality program, and is sufficiently fast.

For my money the very best file catalog program is WSSI322.ARC. It's available on most bbs systems. You can download it from my BBS (BOBsBBS 916/929-7511). It will catalog all your diskettes, hard disks, etc. It will even look in archive files and list the contents separately. It has numerous sorting and printing options for reports.
