X-Files 2.1 ©1996 by Marc Lebas marc-lebas@calvanet.calvacom.fr ********************* Presentation X-Files is a free utility program for the BeBox (BeOS DR8). It allows to exchange files or directories between Macintosh or DOS media and the BeBox. This version was validated with: - Macintosh floppy, Syquest, Zip, CD-ROM - DOS floppy Thanks for your feedback; i really will appreciate it. ********************* Usage Exchanges with an external medium are achieved: - by Drag & drop when writing on, - by select + menu when reading. Macintosh partition are automatically opened at mount time ********************* Bugs & limitations: - only floppy media is currently tested for DOS - exchange with Macintosh media is slow - When copying files to/from BeOS, the already existing files are overwritten. - Only Mac Data fork is handled. - There is currently no way to stop safely a copy of a folder which contains lots of files or subfolders - Tool don't handle more than 25 levels of subdirectories; each directory is limited to 500 files. -i didn't test what happen when writing onto a full media. - X-Files GUI is poor. - Format is restricted to already formatted device ********************* Included Files: Read Me : This file X-Files : DR8 executable hfs_lib : adaptation of hfsutilities-1.17b library (originator: Robert Leslie ) mtools: adaptation of mtools 2.0.7 (originator: Emmet P.
