Short: RecentTool version 1.1 Adds File_ID.diz to Aminet archives
Uploader: pontus.sjostrom@mailbox.swipnet.se
Type: comm/misc
RecentTool version 1.1
A very fast and small tool that uses Aminet Recent.ADT and adds AmiExpress
style File_ID.diz to Aminet archives.
RecentTool can even rename archives to MS-DOS style 8.3 names on the fly
. It tries to get version information from long archive names or
archive descriptions and include them in archive names.
RecentTool is Enforcer/Mungwall proof.
RecentTool is a pure program and can be made resident.
Requirements:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
AmigaDOS 2.04 or better.
Aminet style Recent.ADT
LHA executable
Syntax:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
RecentTool Index/A,Files/A/M,O=Overwrite/S,R=Rename/S,F=Force/S,V=Verbose/S
,S=Stamp/S,M=ReadMe/S
Index = Where Recent.ADT is located
Files = Multiple numbers of files or directories
Overwrite = Overwrites an exisiting File_ID.diz in the archive with an
Aminet style file description
Rename = Renames archives to comprehensive MS-DOS style 8.3 names
Force = Adds an dummy File_ID.diz to reference-less archives that do
not already carry File_ID.diz files
Verbose = N/A
Stamp = Stamp File_ID.diz using current system date
ReadMe = Adds *.ReadMe to the archive if possible
Example usage:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
RecentTool INDEX DL:AMINET/Recent.ADT FILES DL:AMINET/NEW
Adds file_ID.DIZ to all archives in DL:AMINET/NEW directory. Uses DL:AMINET
/Recent.ADT when building its database
RecentTool INDEX Recent.ADT DL:AMINET/NEW O R F S M
Adds file_ID.DIZ to all archives in DL:AMINET/NEW directory. Uses Recent.ADT
in the current directory. Overwrite, Rename, Force, Stamp, and ReadMe options
are all turned on.
Recomendations:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I recomend that you make an alias like this:
Alias RT RecentTool INDEX RAM:Recent.ADT O R F S M FILES
and use it instead of calling RecentTool directly.
