Short:    Aminet Readme Creator 3.2
Author:   stealth@sol.de (Jens Weyer)
Uploader: stealth@sol.de (Jens Weyer)
Version:  3.2
Type:     util/misc
Replaces: util/misc/ARC31.lha
Requires: OS 2.04+ / Lha

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 !
