Version: 2.0
Type: util/misc
Requires: kickstart 37 or better
$VER: MoveToMirror 2.0 (27.3.97)
MAJOR UPDATE NEWS:

- guide file added
- bugs removed
This program is FREEWARE!
This tool is used locally to move the files you have in your download
directory to a local Aminet mirror on your harddisk. The program uses the
*.readme files and the "Type:" field to determine where to put the
files. If drawer(s) don't exists MTM will create them when needed.
It also uses the Short: field (which is required in Aminet readme files) as
filecomment for the main archive (from 1.4). This program is also very fast
when copying files.
Thanks to all the guys sending me nice letters with questions, suggestions,
wishes and bug reports (fortunately the latter is less in numbers ;)
Without you this program wouldn't be updated!
If you have something on your mind don't hasitate to mail me.
The program is written in assembler for speed and size using
dev/asm/NewStartup39.lha (safe startup).
