Short: Aminet Readme Creator 3.2 Author: stealth@sol.de (Jens Weyer) Uploader: stealth sol de (Jens Weyer) Type: util/misc Version: 3.2 Replaces: util/misc/ARC31.lha Requires: OS 2.04+ / Lha Architecture: m68k-amigaos This is a little tool, that makes it very very easy to create a .readme file for any lha archive, if you want to upload it into aminet. #################################################### some FAQ for those, who are interested in: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Creating is ok, but can i use existing readme files ?? YES - ARC has a powerful load function since V 1.6 (load function: v1.93 / strip spaces: v0.31), which allows you to load and use any existing readme file ! why did you add lzx support ? Because it was demanded by some users. BTW lzx algorithm is more efficient than lha, and if it will replace the lha standard or if it will be possible to upload lzx files into aminet, then the program will be already able to manage this. That's why. And why did you add the other filetypes (jpg,mpg) ? I just added these filetypes, because I saw, that the user of this program could only create readmes for lha archives, but the Aminet® also takes jpgs and mpgs... So I added them to the filerequester pattern... At this time, the archive info has no effect on them... But I am thinking about including datatypes support, to read out the dimensions of a jpg and include them automatically then.. I don't know at this time... Tell me, what you're thinking about it ! #################################################### if you often use this tool, so please send me an email, i know it's FREEWARE, but i like getting emails ;) ==================================================== This tool was tested using · Enforcer 37_73 · MaxonDebug ==================================================== -= USE THE ORIGINAL =- New features: V 3.2 : Added AppWindow ability (Drag'n'Drop) Added TREE Conversion possibility Added TREE Update and Conversion via Internet (requires wget) Added AmigaGuide® help system (Key: HELP) Added Search engine to search guide Added Iconify mode Added easier handling of Aminet® Index List Added updated Index List (02-Feb-99) Minor changes to GUI ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ IF YOU WANT TO KNOW MORE - TAKE A LOOK AT http://stealth.home.pages.de FOR SUPPORT AND ADDITIONAL TOOLS TO ARC !!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Readme created with ARC 3.2 - Copyright (c)1996-99 by Jens Weyer. ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 2584 1304 49.5% 21-Jan-99 23:48:24 ARC.info 51036 23229 54.4% 21-Feb-99 21:43:36 +ARC 28 28 0.0% 12-Nov-98 21:25:32 +ARC.brain 3027 665 78.0% 10-Mar-99 19:12:46 +ARC.info 6760 1103 83.6% 02-Feb-99 21:20:08 +ARC.NDX 2450 1239 49.4% 21-Feb-99 21:44:06 +ARC.catalog 4663 2002 57.0% 21-Feb-99 21:30:06 +ARC.cs 2542 1283 49.5% 23-Feb-99 16:06:30 +ARC.catalog 4763 2038 57.2% 23-Feb-99 16:06:28 +ARC.cs 1300 820 36.9% 07-Feb-99 13:54:28 +ARC.catalog 2384 1198 49.7% 31-Mar-99 18:24:36 +ARC.catalog 4593 1932 57.9% 30-Mar-99 22:33:40 +ARC.cs 2456 1323 46.1% 09-Mar-99 19:31:16 +ARC.catalog 4657 2150 53.8% 09-Mar-99 19:31:12 +ARC.cs 2350 1203 48.8% 23-Feb-99 03:53:46 +ARC.catalog 3010 1340 55.4% 23-Feb-99 03:53:36 +ARC_srpski.cs 1082 638 41.0% 25-May-98 15:00:26 +ARC.catalog 2058 1014 50.7% 25-May-98 15:03:34 +svenska.ct 2584 1308 49.3% 21-Jan-99 23:48:24 +Doc.info 1157 483 58.2% 14-Feb-99 17:51:40 +ARC.guide 2993 1780 40.5% 10-Mar-99 19:07:50 +ARC.guide.info 35126 12322 64.9% 23-Feb-99 19:43:38 +ARC_deutsch.guide 32626 10885 66.6% 23-Feb-99 19:10:10 +ARC_english.guide 33847 11418 66.2% 31-Mar-99 18:24:54 +ARC_italiano.guide 32221 11804 63.3% 09-Mar-99 20:12:20 +ARC_polski.guide 31263 11070 64.5% 23-Feb-99 16:14:46 +ARC_srpski.guide 1274 602 52.7% 23-Dec-98 18:50:24 +English 2441 1123 53.9% 29-Dec-97 11:18:46 +Readme.First 2584 1308 49.3% 21-Jan-99 23:48:24 +Icons.info 1849 929 49.7% 10-Mar-99 19:07:58 +ARC.guide.info 3137 1815 42.1% 10-Mar-99 19:14:28 +ARC.info 2584 1308 49.3% 21-Jan-99 23:48:24 +Install.info 1288 498 61.3% 23-Dec-98 18:59:22 +Deutsch.info 1288 499 61.2% 23-Dec-98 18:59:22 +English.info 11295 2807 75.1% 09-Mar-99 19:38:44 +Install_ARC 1289 497 61.4% 23-Dec-98 18:59:22 +Italiano.info 1287 497 61.3% 23-Dec-98 18:59:22 +Polski.info 1287 497 61.3% 23-Dec-98 18:59:22 +Srpski.info -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 305163 117959 61.3% 31-Mar-99 18:25:48 38 files Operation successful.
