- Short: v1.1 GUI to parse AmiNet RECENT files
- Type: comm/misc
- Version: v1.1 (18 May 95)
- Author: D.F. Duck
-
- Long:
- RECENT is a mouse driven graphic interface for parsing AmiNet RECENT
- files. Interactivly select files to "get" from AmiNet. The result is
- a unix-able script to "cd" around AmiNet and "mget" the files.
-
- There are several other programs that do a simular task. The difference
- with RECENT over the other ones is its output script will also "get" the
- accompanying .readme file.
-
- The reason for getting the .readme files; The SHORT description in the
- AmiNet RECENT file is truncated to 40 characters, and it seems most
- uploaders use longer SHORT descriptions.
-
- If you have and use the AmiNote program (written by me) it will look for
- the existence of the .readme file and pull the untruncated SHORT
- description from it. Then add it to the archive file as an AmigaDOS
- "filenote". Then optionaly Copy or Move the files to a bbs file directory
- or AmiNet Mirror.
-
- RECENT is written in ARexx, then crunched using The ReXXmAsHeR v0.4g.
