- Short: V1.6, a program identifier database package
- Author: Greg McGary, Randell Jesup, Olaf Barthel
- Type: dev/c
-
- I got this back in 1987, and have been using it since then. It
- is freely redistributable (see the original writer's copyright message).
- My modifications and the 2 routines I added are public domain. It also
- uses Chuck McManis's cooked IO routines.
-
- To compile under amigados, you must use -Dfseek=unixfseek. This
- is because the program assumes fseek will extend the file, which is not
- normally true under amigados.
-
- It needs an amigados makefile (badly). Don't forget to include
- amiga.c, amiga_getenv.c, and raw.o.
-
- It could use some of the 2.0 routines (like the pattern-matching
- in place of unix RE's, and GetVar() in amiga_getenv.c). Under 2.0 you
- can use one executable and hardlink the others (it keys off the name it
- was run under).
-
- It's pretty stable. Unix-pathing has been replaced with amiga-
- pathing (., .., etc). The amiga-specific changes to the main code are
- ifdef AMIGA.

- Just about four years later I found this tool on the
- Frozen Fish CD-ROM. Neat! But some feature were missing, such as the
- regexp support in the lookup utilities and wildcard file name expansion
- in mkid. I also found one or the other bug that needed fixing. For
- example, if a lookup tool didn't find the ID database in its current
- drawer or some parent drawer, it would cause Enforcer hits and change
- the calling Shell's current directory without ever restoring it.
- Rebuilding the tools using SAS/C was a good idea, the tools are all
- pure now and can be made resident. I also threw in some 2.0 additions,
- notably the editor launch procedure and the wildcard expansion stuff.
- The scanner now handles .i and .asm files and the lookup tools will
- output proper AmigaDOS wildcard patterns rather than plain regexp
- patterns.
- The distribution preserves Fred's original drawer
- structure and adds an SAS/C SMakefile. I removed some of the original
- source files which were now obsolete. The binaries in the "bin"
- drawer were built for an Amiga running Kickstart 2.04 or higher,
- using the ieee math libraries. I haven't tested if they still work on
- Kickstart 1.3 and friends, they probably won't.

- More, small additions: the C scanner now handles C++ style
- comments ("//") and recognizes files with .cpp/.cxx/.c++/.hpp/.hxx/.h++
- extensions. There is no specific C++ support in the scanner, but it never
- checked for C specific data structures anyway ;) The assembly language
- scanner now handles comment lines introduced by "*" or ";". Some file
- name and name suffix comparisons were case sensitive, which does not
- make that much sense on the Amiga; the comparisons now ignore the file
- name case. Speaking of case, the lookup tools sport an "-i" option to
- enable case-insensitive pattern comparisons. I changed the makefile
- slightly to take advantage of the fact that all tools share the same
- basic set of support files which are now bound together in a linker
- library. This reduced the tool size once again. The tools now use
- utility.library for inline math routines. This means that they will
- definitely no longer run under Kickstart 1.3 and below. For the record,
- all changes I made and routines I added are public domain.

-
- In an attempt to make the raw/cooked I/O routines more
- robust I rewrote raw.c. mkid now uses ffp math routines as it
- was using floating point arithmetics only to calculate the final
- stats it displays after building the database. This made the program
- a little smaller without loss of robustness.

-
- The RCS support was disabled, there probably was no working
- Amiga port of it available when Randell killed the code. I rewrote
- the relevant routines which appear to be working fine now. The scanners
- did not always like end of file conditions, some loops could run
- forever. I inserted code to check for EOF where it was obviously missing.
