SWISH-E/2 version 1.3.1
-----------------------
This distributon contains the OS/2 port of the Swish-E 1.3.1 web site
indexing utility. The makefile and sources have been modified to compile
under OS/2 using EMX 0.9c, GCC and the DMAKE make utility. Please visit the
homesite for the package for details about licencing, detailed instructions or
if you want the original *nix source. SWISH-E's homesite is:

OS/2 specifics
==============
This version of the utility has only been tested on an HPFS volume, however
it should work, with appropriate 8.3 filenames for the config and index files,
on FAT.
OS/2's lack of support for symbolic links in the filesystem, means all
options relating to symbolic links have been deactivated and thus will
be ingnored.
The pattern matching function in swish-e use the *nix regex libraries,
therefore when you are doing matches on pathnames etc. either use forward
slashes or "escape" the backslash, using a backslash, e.g.
c:/somepath/somewhere or c:\\somepath\\somewhere
If you intend using the HTTP Filesystem facility, you will need to have
PERL 5.004 or greater installed and the perl interpreter be called "perl.exe".
I've only undetaken limited testing of the HTTP facilities of swish-e, but
it appears to be working as advertised.
