- Short: Clean up your fortunes database, V2.3
- Authors: Wilhelm Noeker & Miroslav L. Baran
- Uploader: Wilhelm Noeker <wnoeker@t-online.de>
- Type: util/misc
-
- This archive contains a team of programs to help you maintain your
- cookie database:
-
- "CookieTool" itself eliminates duplicate entries,
- sorts alphabetically or by size if you wish.
- "CdbSplit" extracts parts to a separate file, by keyword,
- by size, by number, or as groups of 'similar' cookies.
-
- They are intended for users of "Cookie", "IntuiCookie" (both available
- on Aminet, util/misc/), or generally for any plain text cookie
- database with entries separated by "%%" lines. They are nice for
- crunching your cookie collection by a few KByte of duplicate stuff, but
- also for splitting it into seperate files, for example extracting
- quotations or dumping those cookies too big to be fun to read.
-
- Note that "CookieTool" and "CdbSplit" know how to handle the database
- itself, but not how to update the corresponding index file (also called
- 'hash file'). That means you still need "cookhash" (which should be
- included with your cookie display program).
-
-
- New since V2.2:
- Minor changes and enhancements for easier building under Unix
- (which is what Miroslaw Baran actually did), clarified licensing
- conditions (is now GPL).
-
- New since V2.1:
- Options for sorting by size, searching for combinations of keywords,
- and for extracting without modifying the original database.
-
- New since V2.0:
- Fixed a severe bug that would overwrite an input file even when
- the new file was incomplete due to "Disk Full".
-
- New since V1.3:
- Much easier to use (and a little safer, I think), but quite different,
- too. Make sure you read the docs when upgrading from V1.x!
- More sort options, can delete 'abbreviations', can extract groups of
- 'similar' cookies, sorting and deleting now always in *one* pass.
- When choosing among 'almost identical' cookies, those towards the
- top of the input file will survive. (Was left to chance in earlier
- versions.)
-
- "CookieTool" and "CdbSplit" are distributed under GNU General Public
- License version 2 or later, C-source is included.

-
- You might also be interested in "OrySplit", which can convert Usenet
- Oracularities (you know rec.humor.oracle, don't you?) to cookie format.
