The "cd-roms" directory contains a database of most material on this CD-ROM.
To use it, click on the "FreshFish-May94" icon and then use appropriate
keyword patterns to find the material you are interested in.
As an example, the keyword "FreshFish-May94" will find every single
"product" on the CD-ROM for which there is a Product-Info file. The keyword
"UChess*" will locate versions of the port of GNU chess.
The database is generated automatically by using "pitool" to find all
product info files on the CD-ROM. Then "pi2loaddb" converts the accumulated
product info information into a form that LoadDB understands. Finally,
LoadDB is run to generate the database. See the "Makefile" file for
details.
Eventually there will be a complete database of all of my floppy library and
important directories included on this and previous CD-ROM's, using the new
product info specification for gathering the data. See the file
"Product-Infos" in the "Information" directory on this CD-ROM, for further
information about the product info specification.
This directory also contains databases for previous CD-ROM's. Hopefully by
the time the next FreshFish CD-ROM comes out, I will have finished a tool
that allows me to automatically merge these databases into a single database
that covers all released CD-ROM's.
