Short: KingFisher 2.23 DevKit, ARexx & Examples
Author: Udo Schuermann <walrus@uga.umd.edu>
Uploader: Udo Schuermann <walrus@uga.umd.edu>
Type: biz/dbase
This archive contains KingFisher 2.23, a special purpose database system
primarily designed for the retrieval of information about software
collections on floppies and CD-ROMs. One such database is included: the
contents description for 1100+ Fish Disks. Also included is 200K+ context
sensitive online help in form of AmigaGuide and RexxFisher, which provides
the means for a BBS to access KingFisher's databases. KingFisher is
localized for six languages other than English.
NOTE: Beginning with version 2.20 KingFisher was no longer released in
separate registered/evaluation versions. The size and bandwidth
problems associated with an ever-growing number of patches make
the use of a keyfile significantly more attractive.
NOTE: Registered users may receive their keyfile FREE BY EMAIL or as
part of their next upgrade (see the documentation for addresses
of registration sites.)
COMPONENT FILES ON AMINET:
KingFisher223.lha (287355)
All you need to upgrade or install KingFisher. If you are building
a new installation you probably want the database, too:
KingFisher2db.lha (747126)
A database of 1100+ Fish Disks (needed for initial install; when
upgrading: remove all old 1000Fish#? files before installing)
KingFisher2ex.lha (217544)
Extras: example format and ARexx files; KingFisher Developer Kit!
KINGFISHER RELEASE 2 FEATURE OVERVIEW:
- Client-Server technology provides multiple users (or multiple copies
of KingFisher) access to multiple databases, but does not hinder
single-user operations,
- KingFisher's resizable GadTools interface honors the proportional
system font (or any font of your choosing) and can be opened on the
default public, and on custom screens,
- Search operations can produce Search Sets which may be saved and
reloaded, to provide instant access in the future to any previously
found record in the database,
- Database-specific display, print, and export presentation formats
can be defined to produce any desired database presentation,
- Hotlinked Product-Info files can be viewed directly; updates to the
file are immediately reflected by KingFisher,
- Powerful search expressions, including embedded support for AmigaDOS
regular expressions, are maintained in a history list whose size is
user-definable,
- Ability to reconstruct the index files and construct VersionLinks in
release-order to browse related software versions,
- Through RexxFisher (the ARexx interface to the server) the user-
definable data presentation formats and the same powerful search
expressions used by KingFisher are available to any program with a
Rexx interface!
Registration for this software is $20(US) or DM30. Future upgrades are
free (by way of Aminet or ftp.)
