- WHY THIS RELEASE?
- =================
-
- This is a test release to see if there is an interest in such a search engine
- for the amiga. HT://DIG is originally developed for UNIX, but I've compiled
- it for the amiga with success. The basics of htdig are working, but
- it need a lot of work before it is stable enough, although I didn't find
- HD threatening problems.
-
- If you have any interest in this product, mail it to:
-
- htdig@spinnewiel.xs4all.nl
-
- If there are enough requests I will start a project HT://DIG in order
- to get it developed.
-
- If you want a binary version of HT://Dig, mail your request also to the
- above address.

- PROGRAMMERS WANTED
- ==================
-
- If you are a experienced C++ programmer with some spare time to spent
- and wanting to take part in developing HT://DIG for the Amiga,
- get in touch with me. I am not a real C++ programmer, but I would like
- to see this program working. Running and understanding the apache webserver
- is necessary for development.
-
-
- Things I did and didn't do:
- ===========================
-
- This archive is the base archive for HTDIG, a WWW search engine like
- altavista, etc. The source is not changed in anyway and works on my
- Amiga system. There was a problem in the original TAR archive with
- a duplicate display.cc source (a Display.cc and a display.cc). Thanks
- to Kamil Iskra the problem was found.
-
- There exist another problem in the htsearch program, it gives sometimes
- a 'broken pipe' message, although it seems to work fine. I don't know
- what causes this, Apache or HT://Dig? If anyone finds a solution,
- please mail it to me.
-
- I did not remove the fork()'s in the htnotify program yet, so that won't
- work properly at this moment. If someone wants to work on this, please do.
-
- HT://DIG works for the main part, but there must be some errors here and
- there. But I decided to release the HT://DIG sources to see if there
- is a need for such a program. I am not a real C++ programmer so, any help
- with this is greatly appreciated.
