Short: Handles all your downloaded files. v1.5 Author: fini.alring@netmedia.dk (Fini 'Warp' Alring) Uploader: fini alring netmedia dk Type: comm/misc Version: 1.5 Requires: Arexx, rexxsupport.library. Architecture: m68k-amigaos Long: Fini "Warp" Alring of GiGA Prod. Presents ˇAmiNetGuideˇ I made it because my dowload dir, is approx. 80MB, and I simply can't cope with it! Dopus just isn't enough... ;-) AmiNetGuide scans the first line of all readme files in a given dir, where the Short: description is located (Look at the first line of this text!!!) It then generates an AmigaGuide, with links to both readme and it's main file. When you click on the filename gadget, the archive will be decompressed into Ram:, or anywhere you desire. JPEG's and GIF's can be viewed by a siple click, using you preferable viewer. When you click on the Short: text the whole readme file will be shown. Sub-Dirs are shown as gadgets, and by a click, you can generate a Guide for that directory too. It can put the Short:-line into the archive's filenote (comment), which is very useful, especially for BBS ownerS! ;-) ---- New in v1.5 - 25-Jun-1997 Comment: Can now unpack/view files, which doesn't have a readme file. ˇ IMPRO AmiNetGuide can see all files, even if they don't have a readme file. ˇ FIXED Guide "hanged" when opening a Sub-Dir guide. ˇ FIXED Sub-Dir guides did not use the options set by user. ˇ FIXED Multithreading now works 100% :). ˇ ADDED AmigaGuideŽ support using MultiView (or other clone). ˇ ADDED NFO support (Text files) using MultiView (or other clone). ˇ ADDED DMS support, unpacks DMS files (defaults to RAD:). ˇ ADDED Option: -D = Set DMS unpack destination. ( -D RAD: ) ˇ ADDED Ignores .info files (Icons). ˇ ADDED Readme files also gets the short: message attached, in -C mode. ---- New in v1.4f - Fixed a bug, no default value for short length... ups! why does it always happen!! ---- New in v1.4 (Huge update!!!) 13 Jun 1997. ˇ Made a very good argument parsing, which also alows to use spaces in in args, eg. "Dh1:Down load" <- Just put double quote on both sides. ˇ Added Seven (Yup 7! ;) options, of which many have been requested by users. Usage: AminetGuide [Options] Options: -F = Sets Guide font.

( -P C:PPshow ) ˇ Option characters are non-case dependant ( -c = -C ). ˇ Options can be put in any order, but all it's arguments must be entered. ---- The big readme file is in the Archive. Other features: ˇ It's MailWare - I only want your own productions, and a little letter...! ˇ It multithreads, so you can unpack many files at ones, and have multiple readme windows opened at the same time... ˇ The -Aminet.guide will be placed in the download directory...
