- What? v1.0 by Gonçalo Valverde
-
- INTRODUCTION
-
- So what the heck is What? ? Its just a small program that trys to find
- what is the file type of a given file or of an entire directory.What can
- also do enter subdirectorys and check the files on them.What? uses the
- whatis.library (included in the distrubution) so its easy for the final
- user to add new file types.It was programed using the great E language
- (Great work Wouter!).And What? is also my first program that works as
- i want , i.e. it doesnt crash the machine :-).Ive included also the source
- code for the program. If you wish to recompile it you need to get the
- Amiga E compiler v2.1b(you can get it on Aminet at dev/e) and you also need
- the emodules for the wahtis.library in emodules:
-
-
- DISTRIBUTION
-
- What? is Freeware. Feel free to distribute it but keep the distribution
- intact (binaries,source code ,emodules and the whatis.library stuff)
-
- SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
-
- You need Kickstart 2.04 or better (well.. is there still anyone working
- whith 1.3?) and the whatis.library 3.7 or higher (included in the
- distribution) installed.
-
- INSTALATION
-
- Just copy the whatis.library from the whatis directory to your LIBS:
- directory and the filetypes file from whatis/s to your S: directory.
-
- USAGE
-
- If called without any argument What? will check all the files in the current
- directory. If you wish that it examines only one file just provide its name,
- like:
-
- what? foobar (all true programers use foobar! :-) )
- OR
- what? foo:foo/bar
-
- If you want that What? examines also the subdirectories just add the ALL
- keyword
-
- DISCLAIMER
-
- You use What? at your own risk. This means that if by any unbelievable
- reason your Hard Disk (you do have an hard disk,rigth? :-) is formated
- after using What? ya cant blame it on me :-)
-
- THE WHATIS LIBRARY
- Read the docs included in the whatis directory...
- There are some new filetypes in the filetypes file that i added.
- The authors of the whatis.library dont know of this distribution
- (they dont have e-mail and im too lazy to write a letter by snail mail..
- :-( ).But since the library is freely distributed this shouldnt be
- a problem.
- By the way, ive included the e modules for this library that i converted.
- They are needed to recompile the source code.
