Filename : READ.ME
which searches a disk or subtree for files matching a filename.ext with
wildcards. It is written in Microsoft C, version 4.0, and compiled
using the small memory model.
Files are:
FF.C
FF.EXE
FF.DOC
DTA.H
DTA.C
FINDENTR.C
FF.OBJ
DOSFUNC.LIB (compiled from FINDENTR.C, DTA.C, and SELDISK.C)
SELDISK.C (not used)
READ.ME (this file)
Note that because of recursion, FF.EXE must be linked with a larger
stack size than normal. I have used "link ff /stack:16000". This
works for over 16 levels of directories. I have not experimented to
find the lower limit.
When linking, specify DOSFUNC as a library.
Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!
This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.
But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
