.description
UDB generates a database of your files at different places, e.g. your
hardisks, CD-ROMs, network machines, ...

FDB is able to scan this database to find dirs/files very fast.

LDB lists a database.

CDB converts databases.

Based on the same databases of FindDB, UpdateDB
V2.1  1989 - 1992 by Larry Phillips & Martin Steppler,
but enhanced:

- multi databases
- path of databases defineable
- preferences as env-variable
- loads databases in parts
- more commands
- amiga style pattern
- amiga template arguments
- memory pools

Changes since 1.3:

* path where to find the databases is defineable, but default is
  'FindDB:'
* size of buffer when loading a database is defineable, databases
  can be loaded in parts
* FDB with faster search routine
* database path, buffer size & options can be stored in an
  environment variable
* new programm: CDB, to convert databases into ASCII and vice versa
* avoid files during the UDB scan
* LDB lists files matching a pattern
* memory pools
* bugs fixed
