Short: True Multi-Directory Assigns. (1.10) Author: thorfdbg@alumni.tu-berlin.de (Thomas Richter) Uploader: thorfdbg alumni tu-berlin de (Thomas Richter) Type: util/cli Version: 1.10 Architecture: m68k-amigaos >= 2.0.4 _____________________________________________________________________________ New for version 1.10: - This is a streamlined version of the 1.09 version without any functional changes. - The command line takes now the parameter REMOVE to remove a running TrueMultiAssigns instance. _____________________________________________________________________________ New for version 1.09: - TrueMultiAssigns checks now whether it is already running. - TrueMultiAssigns doesn't try to find multiple matches to a file name request that doesn't contain any wild card. _____________________________________________________________________________ New for version 1.08: - Fixed possible Rename() problems in case two volumes of the same name are available. _____________________________________________________________________________ This is a patch that enhances the features of the pattern matching calls of AmigaDOS - multi-directory assigns are now supported. This means that a program using the improved routines will even find matches in the additional assigns, unlike the original CBM routines. For example, listing the LIBS: directory will yield all files, in SYS:Libs/ and SYS:Classes/ (plus some more you might have added to LIBS:) Of course more than one implementation of this patch is on the net, but I tried some of them and found that most of them are broken or do not support all features needed. In special, the MultiCX multiassign patch is crap, and the original TrueMultiAssigns by Markus M. Wild has a lot of quirks. The following bugs have been fixed (this list might be incomplete) : -Removed unnecessary requesters. -multi-assigned directories are now handled as well (i.e. CD LIBS: and listing there will yield the same result as list LIBS:) -Removed an endless loop if a multiassign is listed with the "ALL" option of list. -Fixed problems with Rename to or from a multiassigned directory. -Removed incomplete result strings for matches found in added directories. plus some more I don't remember right now.... This file is actually a part of the ViNCEd distribution.
