Notes:
You must install the Java JDK to use this program.
See http://mindprod.com/jgloss/jgloss/jdk.html
You are pretty much on your own how to use this material.
This program requires a manual install! See below.
I put out an avalanche of free software into the world, and submit PAD
files to hundreds of distribution sites, but I rarely hear back from
anyone. What's happening? Does it all just work fine? It is so
complicated nobody can figure out how to use it and they give up on it?
It is it useful? Since everyone has the source, do people just fix the
programs to their liking themselves? Did you have trouble installing? Do
I presume you know too much? I would be happy to hear from you about your
experiences, positive or negative and your requests for improvements. A
one-line email to roedy@mindprod.com would be great.
===> Free <===
Full source included.
You may even include the source code, modified or unmodified
in free/commercial open source/proprietary programs that you write and distribute.
May be used freely for any purpose but military.
For more details on this restriction, see
http://mindprod.com/contact/nonmil.html
If you include any Canadian Mind Products code in your own applications,
your app too must be labelled non-military use only.

All Java jars and source code are included. If you need the class files or Javadoc, you will have to build them yourself. To streamline the zip downloads, class files and Javadoc have been removed.

Prerequisites:
This program runs under any OS that supports Java,
(e.g.W2K/XP/W2003/Vista/W2008/W7-32/W7-64/W8-32/W8-64/Linux/LinuxARM/LinuxX86
/LinuxX64/Ubuntu/Solaris/SolarisSPARC/SolarisSPARC64/SolarisX86/SolarisX64/OSX/AIX...)
so long as you have
<><> Java version 1.8 <><> or later installed (32-bit or 64-bit Java).
See http://mindprod.com/jgloss/installingjava.html for details.
----
Installing on a PC:
Download source and compiled jar files to run on your own machine as a part of your own program.
First install a recent Java JDK or JVM.
See http://mindprod.com/jgloss/installingjava.html.
To install, extract the zip download with WinZip
(or similar unzip utility) into any directory you please,
often J:\ -- ticking off the <span class="click">use folder names</span> option.
----
Installing on a MacIntosh:
Use Safari to download source and compiled jar files to run on your own machine as a part of your own program.
Safari will automatically unpack the zip into ~/Downloads (version 10.5)
[or on the Desktop (version 10.4 and earlier)].
First install a recent Java JDK or JVM.
See http://mindprod.com/jgloss/installingjava.html.
You may optionally move the download tree to a permanent home.
I don't have a MacIntosh, just a PC, so I can't test my Java programs for Mac compatibility.
In theory they should work without problems, but in practice that does not always happen.
If you have problems please, let me know, preferably with screenshots and complete verbatim error messages.

Rebuilding:

Use:
FilenameFilters you can use in your own Java programs with
File.list( FilenameFilter f ). They can also be used
standalone as fancy dir commands.
They come with Java source and include:
AllButSVTDirectoriesFilter all but .svn directories
AllDirectoriesFilter gets all directories
AllFilesFilter gets all files
ClamFilter simple wildcard
DirListFilter gets a list of directories
EndsWithFilter gets files whose names end with a given string.
EverythingFilter gets everything
ExtensionListFilter gets files matching a list of extensions
(formerly ExtensionFilter)
FileLengthFilter gets short or long files
FileListFilter gets a list of files
(used to be called ListFilter)
FilenameLengthFilter gets short or long filenames
JunkFilter used to find junk files by name, extension,
startsWith or endsWith lists.
MultiFilter combines other Filters with
"consider", "must" and "never".
NoFootFilter accepts *.html but not *.foot.html
RecentFilter filters based on lastModified date
RegexFilter filters with Regex expressions.
RecentFilter filters based on lastModified date
RegexFilter filters with Regex expressions.
StandAndEndWithFilter include/exclude depending on start/endings of filenames
StartsWithFilter gets files whose names start with a given string.
Why that orange disc icon? It represents a photographic
filter that filters light, is an analogous way the filter
class filters files.
