Short: Clean up your fortunes database, BUGFIX
Author: wnoeker@t-online.de (Wilhelm Noeker)
Uploader: wnoeker@t-online.de (Wilhelm Noeker)
Type: util/misc
This is a team of programs to help you maintain your cookie database:
"CookieTool" itself eliminates duplicate entries, sorts
alphabetically if you wish.
"CdbSplit" extracts parts to a seperate file, by keyword, by size,
as groups of 'similar' cookies, or a fixed number.
These tools are intended for users of "Cookie", "IntuiCookie" (both
available on Aminet, util/misc/), or generally for any plain text cookie
database with entries separated by "%%" lines. They are nice for
crunching your cookie collection by a few KByte, but also for splitting
it into seperate files of e.g. poems, quotations, anecdotes and miscel-
laneous.
Note that "CookieTool" and "CdbSplit" know how to handle the database
itself, but not the corresponding index file (also called 'hash file').
That means you still need "cookhash" (which should be included with your
cookie display program).
New since V2.0:
Fixed a horrible bug that would overwrite an input file even when
the new file was incomplete due to "Disk Full". %-(
New since V1.3:
Much easier to use (and a little safer, I think), but quite different,
too. Make sure you read the docs when upgrading from V1.x!
More sort options, can delete 'abbreviations', can extract groups of
'similar' cookies, sorting and deleting now always in *one* pass.
When choosing among 'almost identical' cookies, those towards the
top of the input file will survive. (Was left to chance in earlier
versions.)
C-source included, freeware.
