Short: AmiNet INDEXes manipulation utility. V1.0

Type: util/misc
- AmInUp v1.0 (Aminet indexes updating utility) -
This utility is very useful if you are used to print your Aminet indexes.
Let's suppose you have downloaded a big INDEX (e.g. util/INDEX or game/INDEX)
and you have printed it with your fantastic printer. Then, 1/2/3... weeks
later, you download the same index another time. It has, obviously, changed
and you have two choices: reprint it completely, spending precious ink and
paper, or..... use AmInUp updating the old print!
USAGE: AmInUp <newindex> <oldindex> [SAMEDIRS] [NOTITLE]
AmInUp extracts from <newindex> all the lines not present in <oldindex>.
So, if you print these lines, you can add some pages to the old index,
updating it. Unfortunately, the print is no more in alphabetic order, but you
have spared time & expense.
OPTIONS:
1- If you specify "SAMEDIRS", AmInUp does not extract lines containing
directories not present in <oldindex>.
The most useful application of this option is to allow you to update an
index using a more general index.
Ex. If you have printed "game/shoot/INDEX" and then you have downloaded a
more recent game/INDEX you can see all the new uploads to game/shoot with:
AmInUp 'game_INDEX' 'game_shoot_INDEX' SAMEDIRS
Only lines containing the directory "game/shoot" will be extracted from
'game_INDEX', and only those not present in your old 'game_shoot_INDEX'.
2- If you don't specify "NOTITLE", AmInUp writes a little header at the
beginning of the new index it produces.
For more information, see AmInUp.doc
