Short: Converts AmiNet Index to DataBase Import
Author: Carsten_Pluntke@ouzonix.bo.open.de (Carsten Pluntke)
Uploader: t.esser@darkness.gun.de
Type: util/conv
This utility converts the AmiNet Index files to these files you can import
into DataBase programs like SuperBase or MaxonTwist and (hopefully) many
others.
Features are:
1) Trimmed database fields (no leading and trailing spaces)
2) Fast! (at about 22 seconds parsing an 1MB index file on an A3000-25)
3) Optionally including a list identifier into the records. (Like
the number of the CD)
4) Auto-detecting list field widths
Useful for these guys having AmiNet CD 3 and earlier together
with AmiNet CD 5 and up, because the width of the Name field varies
slightly, making other programs with fixed-width fields screw up.
