- Short: System update util, v2.0
- Uploader: Msi Software <msi@sn.no> http://www.sn.no/~msi/index.htm
- Author: Msi Software <msi@sn.no> http://www.sn.no/~msi/index.htm
- Type: util/sys
- Replaces: util/misc/DVC.lha
- Version: 2.0
- Distribution: Freely Distributable FreeWare
-
- For OS 2.0 and higher.
- Compare versions of new files with installed files,
- and install new ones if needed.
-
- Now you can easily update libraries/datatypes/devices etc.
- DVC will copy the new file to the correct location by it self,
- after asking you first if you want to Install, Update or Replace.
- Everything in DVC is integrated, by this I mean...
- No external programs or libraries needed (when used from CLI/Shell),
- and uses the standard requester GUI, so download now ;-)
-
- It has Pubscreen support so it can open on any screen,
- like DirWork or Dopus.
- And when used from WB it can use the ASL Filerequester,
- AppIcon (Iconify) and AppMenu (Hide)
- all three can make use of multiselection,
- and can also do this while starting from WB (shift click icons).
-
- Filelists can also be used, and DVC support "Internet file update",
- of all files in a DVC (Type 2) filelist.
-
- This is currently a State-Of-The-Art Internet thing,
- and as far as I know DVC is the first program of this kind.
- And not only that, it makes the Amiga,
- the first computer ever to do this.
- Some Internet programs for the Amiga (and other computers),
- let you download the latest version of that software via the Internet.
- But this is the first time you can update ANY files on your machine,
- from a filelist, via your browser, and it's fully automatic.
- All you have to do is click on a Yes or No button :-)
-
- DVC is freeware, freely distributable, and costs YOU nothing ;-)
- PC/Mac/Unix/Atari etc will have BIG trouble trying to do what DVC does,
- and the reason is simple, DVC is created with and for the Amiga ;-)
-
- You will also get the version.revision on ANY file,
- so DVC can also be used as a simple Version tool.
- DVC also remember the size/position of the ASL requester
- as long as DVC is running, including the last used directory.
-
- New in DVC 2.0:
- Added 7 more extensions!
- Improved version checking, now files with REALLY BAD info is handled!
- At the time of release, DVC has one of THE BEST version checks.
- But please remember that DVC work by NUMBERS, not by STRINGS/TEXT.
- WB support added, and DVC checks if it is already running.
- If started from CLI, DVC can be stopped by pressing Ctrl-C,
- or if DVC was started with run, the BREAK command can be used.
- There is also a Quit button when DVC is using lists or multiselection.
- The WB GUI is activated when starting with no CLI arguments.
- Guide documentation, file/drawer icons etc.
- Filelist support, with Internet download (version update) of files.
- Support script (Plugin) for AWeb/Voyager/IBrowse.
- And a bunch of other stuff!
