Re: Disk DB

After thinking about it some, I came up with the following
for you:

DOS 3.3 version:

Notes: You will have to have two disk drives in order to do this.

10 d$=chr$(13)+chr$(4)
20 text
30 home
40 ?"Insert the diskette to be cataloged"
50 ?"into drive 2"
60 ?d$;"open myfile,d1"
70 ?d$;"append myfile,d1"
80 ?d$;"catalog,s6,d2"
90 ?d$;"close"
100 goto 20

You can run this program until you have read all of the diskettes.
Each one (if it can be read) will be added to the end of the
preceeding listing until you have gotten everything read in.  Once
done, you can transfer the listing over to ProDOS and/or edit it.

ProDOS version:

Notes: You still need two disk drives.

10 d$=chr$(4)
20 text
30 home
40 ?"Insert the diskette to be cataloged"
50 ?"into drive 2"
60 ?d$;"open myfile,d1"
70 ?d$;"append myfile,d1"
80 ?d$;"catalog,s6,d2"
90 ?d$;"close"
100 goto 20

Not much difference eh?  I believe this will catalog all of the
diskettes which you have.  Once catalogued, you can work with the
text in any way, shape, or form which you'd like to do.

Have fun!
