Some Extreme Tests For Macrotech File Management Library

 Here are some programs to test the reliability of MPL File Library
     MPL : A Full Featured Text Editor with file open and save. 
     FindFile : Searches for a file in a directory including sub dirs

IMPORTANT NOTES :

     File Management is the most important and also the most difficult task of an application (**multitasking may follow it**) whether it is an OS or a user program.Can you imagine Windows, Linux, Unix or other operating systems without open,save and delete file support.Without file support not only the operating system but even the computer itself is nothing absolutely nothing.

     Macrotech File Management Library provides some extreme operations such as open,save, delete files,create, delete directories even deltree directories without DOS interrupts.Although they are powerful enough,  they are not tested exhaustively and therefore we recommend you not to use this routines in your main drive.Use a secondary hd,or partition your hd as C,D,E,F.. ,or use floppy drive.To further protect your HD, add some routines to the start of WriteSector proc in the File.Asm.This will affect all of the library routines.Some safety code has already been added to the start of it.

     Macrotech File Management Library is using BIOS int 13h and as always no DOS interrupts have been used.They are completely OS-free even the most daunting parts such as find file and deltree.They don't support beyond 8GB.They support FAT12,FAT16 and FAT32.No Long FileName support yet.

     Since Windows XP does not allow BIOS int 13h WinXP users won't be able use Macrotech File Management Library.Win 98,Win 95 allows BIOS int 13h.

     If you create a file or directory using Macrotech File Management Library in a floppy or especially in a HD you may not see the file at first from within Windows.This is because Windows loads all files and directories and fat tables into the memory at the startup ( and as I understand it loads at least most recent files too) and if you create a file using direct disk write Windows will be unable to detect this unless you restart Windows or run scandisk for the drive in which you created the file.
