General overview of KingFisher: KingFisher is a freely distributable replacement for Aquarium, providing a mechanism to search for software in Fred Fish's Library of Freely Distributable Software. KingFisher has been designed for users of both floppy-only and harddisks systems operating under either Kickstart 1.3 or Kickstart 2.0. Some features are available only under Kickstart 2.0. KingFisher v1.11 offers the following features: - Maintains a split database across multiple disk volumes, - Searches this database more than 3 times faster than Aquarium, + Provides a small and very fast program name search index, - Adds new fish directly from Contents files or Usenet postings, even from multiple concatenated postings or email contents files, - Fish can be deleted from the end of the database to undo errors, - Database is a line-oriented text file accessed through index which can be modified by hand and then reindexed, - Flexible print and export functions, including search-filtered output, - Select from multiple different search strings, - Limit searches to a portion of the database, - Follow version links to older or newer versions of software, - Maintain multiple different "bookmarks" into the database and switch between them with a single mouse click, - Supports proportional and scalable fonts for description text, + Now supports the 2.0 display database including Text Overscan. Limited support for overscan, PAL, and interlace displays is available under 1.3. - String gadgets are optionally kept active for keyboard comfort, - Full configuration saved between executions, - Iconifies to save Chip RAM (46K). This update to the original version 1.0 and 1.1 does not include a database. To obtain the database and complete program documentation, too, you must obtain a file named KingFisher.lha which is 477691 bytes in size. KingFisher111.lha is 66745 bytes in size. KingFisher.lha and now KingFisher111.lha can be found at the following ftp sites: wuarchive.wustl.edu 128.252.135.4 /systems/amiga/incoming/fish grind.isca.uiowa.edu 128.255.19.233 /amiga/Read.These (*) ux1.cso.uiuc.edu 128.174.5.59 /pub/amiga/KingFisher (*) (*) May take a little time for KingFisher111.lha to show up there. ._.
