Short: *THE* filenoter for (AmiNet) archives. v1.04 Author: Manuel Giorgini (mgiorgin@dsi.unive.it) Uploader: Manuel Giorgini (mgiorgin dsi unive it) Type: util/arc Version: 1.04 Replaces: util/arc/deaf103* Architecture: m68k-amigaos DEAF will scan an archive, extract the description from INSIDE it, and link it as a comment for that file. Suppose you have downloaded "foo.lha" and you have noticed that it contains "foo.readme": DEAF will EXTRACT the "Short:" line from foo.readme (or whatever line else) and will put it as a filenote on "foo.lha" (without the trailing "Short:" and blanks). When no .readme file is matched INSIDE the archive, DEAF will check for such a file in the same directory, and will use it if present. DEAF will then be able to move that archive in your personal aminet-organized mirror (if you have any), and will take care of discarding obsolete versions. DEAF will optionally create new directories it can't find (as comm/www, or whatever directory will be introduced from now on! :). DEAF will recognize LHA, LZX and ZIP archives, and will operate successfully with all of them, provided you have LhA, LZX and UnZip in your path (this is extremely important!); evaluation versions are OK too if you are not using LZX. DEAF by now needs a registered LZX to work, sorry. History: v1.00 - first version v1.01 - bugfix (see docs for more) v1.02 - Introduced TODIR, REPLACES, DONTMOVE, and lightly improved in other small parts. v1.03 - Now DEAF creates the needed directories (unless specified). DONTCREATE introduced. v1.04 - DEAF now looks for an external .readme file too, when none are matched inside the archive. The source file has been lightly optimized. Fixed a bug in the REPLACEment feature.
