Subject:  [VOICENWS] SW: SearchPlus ver 1.6

++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service   http://www.os2voice.org ++

From: Keith Merrington <k.meringtonDESPAM at DESPAMgmail.com>

As of today version 1.6 of Searchplus (Shareware) has been uploaded to 
Hobbes.   Currently the file SearchPlus160.wpi is in the directory 
pub/incoming but it will probably be moved to pub/os2/util/disk

	Download: http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/download/pub/incoming/SearchPlus160.WPI
	Search: HTTP://hobbes.nmsu.edu/cgi-bin/h-search?key=SearchPlus160.WPI

This version now includes a number of bug fixes, and several improvements 
which were suggested during Warpstock Europe last year.  Summarizing the 
main improvements are:

   - The complete program is a WPI package so that it can easily be installed
	or deinstalled.
   - The Browse window can now be repositioned anywhere on the desktop.
   - Option to create a directory in Browse.
   - Option to delete a complete directory and sub directories in Browse.
   - Option to open a command shell (which is user selectable, i.e. 4os2) in
	which the directory and drive is set to that of the first selected item
   - Option to Select EA names.
   - Option to search for a string within a specific EA, or all EA's
   - Option to use environmental variables such as %PATH%.
   - Option to limit select/deselect sub-directories.
   - Refresh media option added to Browse (F5).
   - Option to limit text string search by ignoring certain filetypes.
   - Option to ignore specific paths.
   - Both RAM disks and ISO Disks are supported.

Changed/Improved:

   - In order to respond quicker, floppy drives are no longer supported in
	Browse.
   - In "Advanced View"; drive selection buttons are now shown without
	spaces for missing drive letters.
   - Icons are now used in the action dialogs instead of text.
   - The number of characters than can be used for the Filename filter has
	been increased to 128 characters.
   - The number shown (NNN) on the 'Y x NNN' button in the action dialogs,
	now counts down to show the number of actions to be executed before
	completion.
   - The browser is now a standalone application operating as a client for
	Searchplus which is then in server mode.
   - Optionally share violation errors can be suppressed.



Enjoy
