- file lines.
-
- - In AmigaGuide format, don't create anymore links to empty or
- inexistant nodes.
-
- - In HTML format, don't create anymore links to empty or inexistant

- DESCRIPTION
-
- If you use frequently the Aminet server, I'm sure you'll find this
- program useful. The aim is to extract from the huge Aminet INDEX file, the
- information you need as quick as possible in a clean way.
-
- I know there are many other progs doing 'same' thing but none of them has
- a decent interface, none of them allows you to save your prefs, and many of
- them don't work very long because the INDEX format changes from time to time.
-
- Here's the solution, no need to type in boring CLI commands, simply use
- the friendly MUI interface and enjoy the work ...
-
- GLOBAL FEATURES
-
- - MUI interface with help bubbles, keyboard support, on-line help, ...
-
- - Preferences loading/editing/saving.
-
- - Allows to specify a minimum AND maximum age in weeks for files.
-
- - Allows to customise the position of every INDEX field so the program
- can read ANY format of INDEX file (even old and future ones) !
-
- - Allows to specify which directories and subdirectories to extract using
- listviews in the prefs window.
-
- - Uses TREE file to display description of directories in output files
- and in preference window.
-
- - Generates a RECENT file in Text, AmigaGuide or HTML format !
-
- - Can split the RECENT file (one file for each directory selected) with
- a smart file extension handling. With this feature, even computers with
- few memory can easily use the huge INDEX file :->
-
- - Can remove the directory field in RECENT file and add a description of
- each subdirectory : Greatly reduces the size of RECENT file.
- ex : The complete AmigaGuide version of an INDEX takes less space than
- the original INDEX (text format) !
-
- - NO buffer is used for the RECENT file generation (sequential access)
- and the job is done in ONE pass.
-
- - When all the selected dirs are scaned, stops reading the INDEX immedia-
- tely :-)
-
- - Displays current written directory during RECENT file generation.
-
- - Displays an accurate progression gauge.
-
- - It's in CARDWARE and will stay in CARDWARE ;-)
