- Short: System update util, v2.6
- Author: Msi Software <emsai@online.no>
- Uploader: Roger Hågensen <emsai@online.no>
- Version: 2.6
- Type: util/sys
- 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 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.
-
- DVC also have a email notify requester that is available,
- when a new version of a file is found.
- It will let you save a small file to Ram:
- that you later can email to a list maintainer.
- Or if you are connected to the net, you can mail it directly!
-
- v2.6 - (28.December.1997) LibGuide release (available in LibGuide archive)
- Improved extension/name handling a bit, (still not perfect)
- with filenames you can never be 100% sure what it is :-(
- Added dynamic version check buffer depending on filesize.
- Fiddled around trying to make that thing a tad smarter :-)
- Should be able to handle most common AmiCDFS.030 type extensions,
- like coolio.030.library or coolio.library.030 etc :-)
- DVC is now compiled with AmigaE v3.3a
- Changed the "new-version filehit" report,
- now a temporary log is created, it can be saved to disk
- or emailed directly to list maintainer at the end of a list check.
