...Need pointers to programs that construct/maintain/update an index of all
the files on a collection of disks. Especially interested in things that
run on both 512K and 128K Macs.
I was underwhelmed by a MS-BASIC Catalloger I tried. It was fragile,
user-hostile, and SLOW. It also choked on some filenames, trashed its
database unpredictably, and refused to work on 512s.
Is there anything else around? Is an improved/fixed version of the MS-
BASIC Catalloger available?
...Any help gratefully accepted...
