SOTDS: CD.TEXTFILES.COM
in Software | Sunday, May 08, 2016 | 19:43


Full Contents of the 2003-2012 Files/Archives that were available!


A database where all files AND archives where indexed to give out Filename, Filesize, Paths and Source Locations. I personally downloaded these (approx 360 cd's) from the cd.textfiles.com website (their aim was to preserve the old aged and dying CD's, well done!). The amount of nostalgia on these are just massive!

The website does provide a useful way of browsing the CD's, as well as beeing picked up by Google searches, but why waste bandwidth, as SOTDS can now find files for you much more efficiently and precise.

In addition this database features SOTDS Unique ID mode which quickly groups together any other file found in a requested .zip, .adf or any other type of archive that holds more than just a single file and shows you the complete and original contents of that archive as a regular type of directory listing (at least path/filename and filesize. No date or attribute flags where indexed).

It seems that updates and addition to the website stopped in 2012. If more CD's appears, they will be downloaded, indexed and added to this database if time permits.


In 2020, I also added MD5 checksums to every file, but also included a hex byte version for the first 12 bytes of each file and also 4 bytes located at pos 1080-1084 in every file. The 4-byte version can be used to search for tracker based modules and tags like "M.K." etc.

Examples of data stored for these 3 hex based additions are:
12-byte : 464f524d00005e8e494c424d
4-byte : c0fa0000
md5 : a520bba05833100add1a4406578116f6

You can use my "Tool_02_SOTDS_Checksum_Creator.exe" to generate those hex strings by drag-n-drop any file, then use the hex string and paste into the SEARCH field.


Statistics:
--------------
Locations = 1330645 (1.33mill)
Rows = 16512923 (16.51mill)
Total Words = 115590461 (115.59mill)
