Hi...
This is just to let everyone that sent mail know that I just sent
a copy of HDSCAN 1.22 to turner@imagen with the related docs, etc. I
have added a few features and up'ed the folder capacity of the program to
200 (lots of people in the phoenix area said that they used over 140 folders
all the time...without gemboot!!!) I should also mention that D. Poroit (sp?)
from France sent mail saying that HDSCAN worked ok after he realized that his
hard disk had been suffering from 40 folder scrambling blues before he had
tried to run hdscan the first time (HDSCAN gets somewhat confused if it reads
in garbage as it is scanning the fat tables).
New in 1.22 is:
1) User definable drive selection file (i.e. you can specify
the exact drives that hdscan reads, and the order it reads
them, ahead of time now.)
2) Two commands to allow directory creation and turning write
verify on and off.
Oh yes, for those who missed the earlier posting, HDSCAN is just a simple
sweep/xtree like utility that lets you quickly scan a disk, tagging
files for later copying, erasing, or arc'ing. It can also be used for simple
browsing (hex dumps/viewing) or more complex things like picture viewing, etc.
It is shareware, so have fun.
