- AmiNetGet - an new AmiNet download tool
-
-
- 1: Preface
- This program takes a piece of the AmiNetIndex and creates an getfile that
- you can pipe to an ftp program.
-
- 2: Why use this program instead of AmiNet Download tool?
- When you are at home and browsing the index for files, you can cut out the
- interesting parts and then create a getfile for dl. That can't be done
- in ADT (to my knowledge)
-
- 3: What do you need to run this program?
- Included are the sourcecode. You need an C++ compiler to compile this
- program.
-

- **********
- ** DOCS **
- **********
-
- This Docs is kinda thin, but it describes things enough (I think)
-
- Use this program at own risk!
-
- First, create an .netrc file. Info how to create such file, you can get from
- the FTP help file from aminet.
-
- Get an INDEX file or the recent file.
-
- In the top of the sourcecode you find this 2 lines
-
- int Maate;
-
- Maate = 1;
-
-
- Set Maate to 1 if: you want to choose the files with a * in from of every
- file you want to download. Not neccesary to remove any
- lines from the index file.
-
- SourceCode line: Maate = 1;
-
- Set Maate to 2 if: you want to get every line in the indexfile. Remember to
- remove ALL lines that don't contain fileinfo
-
- SourceCode line: Maate = 2;
-
- REMEBER: # must be included at the last line on both ways. Check the
- examples!
-
- Remember to (re)compile!
-
- I've got 2 versions of the program: aminetget and aminetget-a.
- The -a is for all (Way 2). You should only compile both ways if you
- use both ways (many don't).
-
-
- Example 1:
-
- Those files you want you put an * infront

- How to create the script:
- =========================
-
- AmiNetGet < RECENT > getfile
-
- The index file is RECENT and the output is getfile
- Check under how to start the download.
-
- I recomend that you look through the output file (getfile) because there can
- be some unsupported files.
-
-
- How to start download:
- ======================
-
- Example: ftp.netnet.net < getfile
-
- Then all the files you have selected is downloaded. Remember to start this in
- an seperate catalogue.
-
-
-
- Etc:
- ====
-
- You can report bugs, etc to: michaelh@colargol.idb.hist.no
-
- This docs is thin, I know, but this is a simple way to do one kind of aminet
- downloading.
-
- You can modify the source, but I would like to know about it. Remember to
- tell where you got it first from...
-
- This could be easy done in a script with awk, but what the heck.. This works
- too!
