Description:



!DiskBase is a program for cataloging disks, with possibility to do a wildcard

search or check for duplicates. It can also print disklabels for floppies,

specifying disk name, contents, owners name, free space etc.



Very short summary of the !Help file:



 Why !DiskBase ?

 ---------------



 The programs you use a lot, are often easy to find. But how about the rest,

 especially if they are stored on floppies? A diskette label is too small to

 print a complete directory on and having separate printouts it can still be

 time consuming to find just the one file you're looking for.



 But now there is ............ !DiskBase





 What !DiskBase does.

 --------------------



 It gives you the possibility to:



  - ADD         directory info of any disk (including CD's) to the datafile.

  - DELETE      a diskname (and of course the entries of that disk).

  - SHOW        disk names and optional their contents.

  - SEARCH      for (wildcarded) entry names on (wildcarded) disknames.

  - DUPLICATES  check which files and/or applications have duplicates.

  - RESULTS     save RESULTS as a textfile on disk.

  - SAVE        the datafile to disk.

  - STATUS      displays a status window with info about the loaded datafile.

  - LABELS      opens a printerpage with labels of disks to be printed.



 On the printerpage you can:

  - DELETE LABEL  deletes a label from the printpage.

  - INVERT LABEL  changes the layout of the printed labels.

  - LABEL SIZE    specify the dimensions of the labels to print.

  - OWNER'S NAME  specify the name of the owner to be printed on the labels.

  - FONT          specify the font to be used for printing.

  - PRINT         print the current page.



!DiskBase 0.78 is compatible with all RiscOS 3 releases up to and including

RiscOS 3.7 and also with a StrongARM. It may also still be RiscOS 2 compatible,

although not guaranteed anymore nor tested againts.
