can you post a directory list whats on them?

Posted by: paws on 2008-11-17 03:20:38
Yeah.

I'm copying them to a HD as we speak, then I'll make a full list.

Posted by: paws on 2008-11-17 16:02:29
They\re now all on my HD. I've no idea what's an intelligent way to make a list of all the files, though.

PowerBook G3, Mac OS 9.2.2...

(a) share the drive, mount it on a OSX box and use "find . "

( B) install MPW and use "files" command

Yarr, we figgered it out in the IRC channel. I used IRIX 6.5 from my Indy though. Ended up quite convoluted, really. Enabled IRIX AppleTalk via X11 from my 7500, then mounted the main drive of my PowerBook, where the files resided, then ran the command via ssh from 7500. <3 networks๐Ÿ™‚

I wonder how feasible it would be to image those CD's into .DMG's for others to enjoy...

Huxley
The feasibility of is limited only by the lack of online storage space or a computer that can run cool, quiet and stably enough to act as a server. We are considering solutions to this.

For future reference:

Open folder in Finder

Switch to list view

Loop: *

- Select all

- Apple-right arrow (open subfolders)

- Till: all open

Select all

Copy

Open TextEdit (or Simpletext in OS 9)

Paste

Done.

* I'm sure there's a keystroke to open the entire tree all at once, but I don't recall it.

Arh, that was the first I tried, and it did not indent subfolders when I pasted the text and as such did not meet my requirement for 'intelligent' ๐Ÿ™‚

Have you not heard of "grep"?

Posted by: slomacuser on 2008-11-20 00:59:34
heard yes, but thats all I know ๐Ÿ™‚ ? tell me how to use with this ...

Start with looking for some text strings. If you're looking for a certain dev kit or something...

grep "MacTCP" bigfile.txt
and that will tell you the entries that contain that string.
