!Extract, version 1.11 (22-Apr-91)
==================================
History: 1.00 First released to eunet.micro.acorn
1.01 Bugs fixed (see below)!
1.10 Major re-release for comp.binaries.acorn
1.11 When will Fil learn ...
!Extract is copyright © Philip Colmer, 1991. It may be freely copied
provided that you do not charge anything for its distribution.
Compress and Tar are by Frank Lancaster.
!Extract takes articles posted to comp.binaries.acorn and decodes them to
present the original files for your use.
To use !Extract, simply save the articles to the !Extract window and then
click on the "Extract" button when you have dropped the last one on it. The
order of articles saved to the window is not important.
When !Extract has done all of the decoding work on the files, a filer window
will appear containing the original data. You should then save the data
elsewhere.
Any comments or bug reports to Philip Colmer (pcolmer@acorn.co.uk), please.
Notes
-----
Operation of !Extract with any files other than those created by !Submit (as
used by the moderator) is not guaranteed.
!Extract will cope with article headers, introductory text, signatures and
CR/LF combinations (although the last bit hasn't been tested :-)
Bugs fixed
----------
1.11: Fil got it wrong (as per usual)
1.10: Major re-release to make it even better for use with
comp.binaries.acorn
1.01: Sometimes hit the end of a file without due cause (eg no signature
attached)
The tools can be placed in any directory now, so long as the !Run file
points to the correct directory.
