Introduction
------------
«AminetIdx» is an easiest manner for displaying, finding and doing your
shopping into Aminet INDEX, using the best combination available:
MUI (© Stefan Stuntz) and NList.mcc (© Gilles Masson).
«AminetIdx» is freeware but copyrighted by me, it parses and split Aminet
INDEX into dirs and subdirs, and enable filtering the display with pattern
and age.  Sorting is also possible in any order you want.

Main features includes
----------------------
 - dirs and subdirs list
 - pattern filter appliable on 'Files' and/or 'Descriptions'
 - age filter, with some fast presets
 - sorting by click on columns title
 - marked file list for shopping purpose
 - save marked files as ascii file
 - check if marked files exists on your hd aminet tree dir

Requirements
------------
 - Kickstart 2.0 or higher
 - Workbench 2.1 or higher
 - MUI 3.1 or higher (not provided -> util/libs)
 - NList.mcc (not provided -> dev/mui)
 - Enough memory (according to size of the INDEX loaded)

Getting started
---------------
1) select an INDEX, it should be loaded and parsed...

2) it is now ready to use, change displayed dir, filter, sort...

3) you can mark a file by double clicking on it

4) once you have set the 'Aminet Root', you can test if marked files
   already exist in your hd, e.g, my hd feature the complete Aminet dir tree
   with files downloaded on it, 'Test Exists ?' button will check files to
   avoid downloading already existing ones, 'Aminet Root' should be set to
   the root aminet dir on your hd.

5) you can also save these marked files into an ascii file
