Short: V1.10 FAST Aminet INDEX/RECENT parser for Thor
Author: dandrea@tfs.net (Daniel J. Andrea II)
Uploader: dandrea@tfs.net (Daniel J. Andrea II)
Type: comm/thor
Distribution: NoCD
Replaces: comm/thor/AminetParse*
This is a small util for adding files from Aminet INDEX/RECENT
filelists. Lots faster than the original arexx scripts. Includes
file area filtering, creates NewFiles.txt like Sortmail does, has
proper date parsing, support for weekly RECENT listings, skips
extraneous data at start of file, and skips data for the 'Message
of the day:' if there. Updated the CLI argument parsing to include
a QUIET option to speed things up slightly during parsing.
This is not really an update to 1.09, but a replacement. I had a
nasty system crash and lost the 1.09 source code, but was able to
rework it as 1.10.
Also email address change! My ISP reconfigured their mail servers,
so unix.tfs.net is no longer a mail server!
Note: I have gotten tired of seeing those 'offers' for a free
Aminet CD, that actually is going to cost me almost as much
as just buying it from here within the USA. As a result,
I have decided to change the distribution of all my software.
I will no longer allow it to be distributed on Aminet CDs
until the 'free' CD for Aminet contributors truly becomes
free again. This policy is subject to change, depending
on what happens with Aminet policy. Only changes in this
archive was to bump program revision and make changes in
documentation to reflect this new policy.
Requires AmigaOS v2.04+ and Thor 2.3+
(at least v4 of bbsread.library in Thor)
