RADFind 96 Version 1.0
----------------------
Thank you for trying RADFind 96! We hope
that you will find RADFind 96 to be a
useful and productive utility for your
daily file management chores.
This section of the readme file will
explain to you the essentials of how to
use RADFind 96 effectively.
(1) RADFind 96 is activated by a pressing
a user defined 'hot key' from within any
Edit control in Windows 95.
(2) RADFind 96 can also be activated by
clicking on its 'tray' icon. The 'tray'
icon is located in a recessed region on
the extreme right-hand side of your
Windows 95 taskbar. RADFind 96's tray icon
is a magnifying glass over a file.
(3) The default value of the 'hot key' is
F12. You can customize this setting at any
time by selecting the Set Hot Key menu
option from the File menu.
(4) Once you have activated RADFind 96 by
pressing it's hot key, or clicking on its
tray icon, you simply type in the name of
the file that you wish to search for.
(5) You can use any valid combination of
DOS wildcard characters to help in your
search.
The ? symbol will match any SINGLE
character in a filename.
The * symbol will match one or more
characters in a filename.
For example, suppose that we only have the
following files on your hard disk:
abc.txt
aac.txt
bcc.txt
def.exe
(i) If you type in abc.txt, you will
only find the abc.txt file.
(ii) If you type a?c.txt, you will find
abc.txt and aac.txt.
(iii) If you type ??c.txt, you will find
abc.txt, aac.txt and bcc.txt.
(iv) If you type *.txt, you will find
abc.txt, aac.txt and bcd.txt.
(v) If you type *, you will find all the
files.
(6) You can search for all files under a
specific subdirectory on your hard drive
by entering a pathname before the filename
that you are looking for. RADFind 96 will
search the subdirectory and all of its
subdirectories for matching files.
For example,
(i) c:\windows\*.dll
will return all DLL's in your windows
directory, and all of the subdirectories
under the windows directory on drive c.
(ii) c:*.exe
will return all EXE's on drive c.
(iii) *.exe
will return all EXE's on all of your local
hard disks.
(7) If you want to search for directories
on your hard drive, simply preface the
directory that you want to search for with
a period (.). You can use any of the
wildcard characters mentioned above in
sections (5) and (6). You can use this
feature to rapidly change directories in a
file open dialog box.
(8) You can sort your search results list
by filename or pathname. Simply click on
either the Filename or Path headings of
the search results list to sort by that
category.
(9) You can run any application simply by
typing its filename. Remember to include
the `.exe' ( or .com as the case may be )
extension.
(10) For further help, please consult
RADFind 96's comprehensive help file.
KNOWN ISSUES
------------
RADFind 96 uses a sophisticated caching
technology to achieve its tremendous
performance. However, there are some known
problems that can cause the cache to
become out of sync with the files stored
on your hard disk.
(1) Installation programs that generate a
WININIT.INI file will cause files to be
renamed before RADFind 96 starts up. The
files that are renamed by the WININIT.INI
file will remain in cache, but will no
longer be on the disk. However, since
these files are usually system DLL's with
unusual names like kernel32.dlb, it is
highly unlikely that you will ever need to
search for these files. In any event,
selecting the Scan Drives menu option
under the File menu will re-synchronize
your filename cache.
(2) Norton FPROTECT will also rename
temporary files that are created by
Windows 95 during the startup process.
This is due to the fact that these files
are created / renamed by FPROTECT before
RADFind 96 starts up. However, it is
highly unlikely that you will ever need to
search for these files. There is no
current workaround for this problem.
