Introduction
------------
POWER Recent can be freely distributed.
This program permits you to extract datas from the Aminet's INDEX file
in the `info/index' directory or from the RECENT file.
You can choose the age for the files and also the Aminet's directories
to scan `biz, demo, dev, ...'.
The program provide a self-explaining interface written in AMOS Basic
using the POWER Procedures (© 1995 by Jérome LOUVEL).
-----------
Utilisation
-----------
When the file selector appear for inputing the index file, it searches
for the assign `AMINET:' to accelerate the selection. I recommand you
to assign the directory where you put your index file, to `AMINET:'
but it's not obliged.
Sorry for the slowness of the loading but it's due to the AMOS's
command `Line Input' which is quite slow ...
Once the Index is loaded, you have to choose between two sorting algo-
rithms : the Quick Sorting which is very fast but doesn't keep the
initial order ; the Insertion Sorting is slower but keep the initial
order of the directories.
When you select the Aminet's dirs, you can use this shortcuts :
- [RMB] : Unselect all the dirs
- [CTRL] + [RMB] : Inverse the selected/unselected dirs
- [SHFT] + [RMB] : Select all the dirs
If you don't already have the `AMOS.library' in your `Libs:' directory
you should copy it.

Knowns problems
---------------
The file created by the program has at the end of each line an extra
return character. It is due (I think) to the AMOS command. It is a
little inesthetic but some text viewers like xMore (© Jorma OKSANEN)
remove those extra characters.
-----
Notes
-----
This program uses a small part of the POWER Procedures package which
will be soon uploaded to Aminet. These procedures will be distributed
in Shareware.
Thanks to Roman PATZNER for his great icons !
