DESCRIPTION

   This tool is used locally to move the files you have in your
   download directory to a local Aminet mirror on your harddisk. The
   program uses the *.readme files and the "Type:" field to determine
   where to put the files. If drawer(s) of the Type: field don't
   exists MTM will create them when needed. It also uses the Short:
   field (which is required in Aminet readme files) as filecomment
   for the main archive.

NEWS

   o  New options.
   o  Checks filesize on old files and dumps it before copy/move
      (in verbose mode only).
   o  Bugfix: "couldn't create dir .." is fixed - was due to problems
      with files downloaded via a PC which add character code 13
      (RETURN code) to each line of the readme.
   o  Bugfix: make comment before moving/copying file.

FEATURES

   o  Uses the README file to determine where to put the files.
   o  If sub dirs of the destination (e.g. "util/misc") don't exist MTM will
      create the sub dirs.
   o  It can add file comments using the "Short:" field of the readme file.
      If used, the original file comment can be moved to the readme file.
   o  Can add short: as a file comment before move in case if there is
      missing a type: field.
   o  Can clone the original file's attributes such as file comment, date,
      and protection bits.
   o  Can use pattern matching to move certain files.
   o  Can either copy the files or move them (deletes the originals).
   o  You can choose to only copy the main files and exclude the readme files.
   o  You can choose to uppercase or lowercase all the sub dir names.
   o  Auto-corrects bad "type:" settings (ie. types with spaces).
   o  Debug/verbose option to watch every action.
   o  Prints size of the existing file (if any) and the new file size.
   o  Very fast copying routine (large-buffered).
   o  Small in size (core ~5 KB + texts and startup) and quick due to
      beeing written in assembler.

  Please read the guide file for detailed information!
