- DEEPLOOK : a full-featured database management system to catalog the
- files on floppy diskettes or the hard drive with the added
- feature that it will automatically catalog the CONTENTS of
- ZIP/LZH/ARC and other types of compressed files.
-
- DEEPLOOK solves the problem of finding that computer file or program
- you know you have but it's buried inside a COMPRESSED file archived onto a
- floppy disk to save room on your hard drive. Compressed files usually have
- a file name extension of .ZIP, .LZH, .ARC and sometimes even .EXE.
-
- DEEPLOOK can automatically read the contents of your compressed
- files (including the self-extracting EXE files), and store the list of files
- in an amazingly fast database so that you can later search it or generate
- reports to your printer or to disk files. DEEPLOOK even has an "Auto Pilot"
- feature that will automatically read each file on your floppy disk or hard
- drive subdirectory. If it is a compressed file it can extract the names of
- the files therein and add them to the database. If it is not a compressed
- file, it will add the file name to the database but without the compressed
- file storage information. You can use the Auto Pilot feature or you can use
- the directory list that DEEPLOOK puts on the screen and individually select
- which files go into the database.
-
- Toggle LOOKDEEP on/off to control reading the contents of compressed
- files.
-
- There are three main programs that are used to run the DEEPLOOK
- database system. (Be sure to see the list of accompanying files later in
- this documentation.)
-
- DEEPLOOK.EXE : this is the directory reader which creates
- the database and adds the file names, etc. to the
- database. You've got to run this program first in
- order to create the DEEPLOOK database and put
- something in it. DEEPREPT and DEEPEDIT won't
- function properly unless there is some "data" in the
- database.
-
- Usage: DEEPLOOK d
-
- -where d is the letter of the floppy disk
- drive you wish to index. Run DEEPLOOK without
- d to index the current hard drive
- subdirectory.
-
-
-
- DEEPREPT.EXE : a full-featured report generator for use with the
- DEEPLOOK database. You can create reports with
- any field, sorted by any field(s), filtered for
- value(s) in any field. You can print the report
- to the screen, to the printer or to disk files, as
- ASCII text files or comma-delimited files which
- can later be imported into Lotus, Reflex, dBase,
- Paradox, etc., etc.
-
- DEEPEDIT.EXE : this allows you to quickly search the DEEPLOOK
- database, and edit any field for any database
- entry. Actually, you really should edit only the
- comment field, but the other fields are there to be
- seen and edited if you wish. You can also
- bulk-delete files, such as deleting references to
- all the "READ.ME" files when it's not really
- necessary to have them in your database.
