dCN!ZiPPY v2.0 (09.03.97)
-------------------------
dCN!ZiPPY is a very fast and reliable Zippy for FAME using very tricky
but great algorithms to achieve this lightning speed.
Unbelievable features
---------------------
o 100% Shareware multinode FAME door.
o Installation via Installer.
o Configurable via a MUI prefs program.
o 68020/030/040/060 optimized version available.
o Extremely fast even on slower processors.
o Very reliable (Enforcer checked).
o Breakable at any time.
o Very compact.
o Multiple pattern scan (100 patterns maximum).
o Reverse scan (not yet).
o Global conference scan.
o Dir1/Dir2/All/Upload/Hold scan.
o Nice design.
o Found patterns are colored in viewed files.
o Marks already flagged files.
o Nice cursor-flagging.
o Adaptive to several user settings (e.g. screenlines, screenclear etc.).
o Dual asynchronous read-ahead scan buffers.
o Adaptive buffer sizes for scan buffers (memory dependent).
o Uses hyper-speed Boyer-Moore search algorithm.
o Searches, loads and displays asynchronously using 3 different
processes (real multitasking).
o Loads next buffer while searching the current one. Extremely
efficient with DMA harddisk transfer, because the cpu would
otherwise be idling while loading.
o Totally independent display/flagging, meaning you can look at
found entries, jump to different locations and flag files
while the searchtask is searching at almost full speed.
o Holds up to 1000 found entries (configurable).
