Short: View AMINET RECENT in lister +download files Author: Brian Scott Uploader: bscott@odyssey.apana.org.au Type: biz/dopus Requires: o HTTPResume 1.6 Copyright © 1998 Andrija Antonijevic o Dopus5+ © Copyright 1997 Jonathan Potter & GPSoftware(c) o rexxsupport.library HTTPlister V2.01 --------------- changes: Small change to buttons to allow for the downloading of the readme along with each file (by selecting 'Download Selected' with the right mouse button) requested by Mark Tierno. Fixed a slight incompatibility problem between the older and newer versions of Dopus, in the handling of the search requester, thanks to Mark for pointing it out also. After I found HTTPlister.rexx wouldn't work with HTTPresume V1.6 as it would with V1.3 I've changed the port handling of HTTPresume. ------------------------------- General discription: Once you have done the small amount of setting up you will be able to list the entire contents of the RECENT file in a Dopus lister. You can download a RECENT file into the lister. There's an option to filter out the aminet file dirs you don't want listed. You will be able to select files and download them by clicking a button or gragging & dropping them into another lister. Files can be preselected ready for automatic re-selecting when the RECENT file is again loaded into the lister. (Handy for offline selection) You'll also be able to select and read readme files. Because the most likely time to encounter download troubles is during the downloading of large files with the posibility of missing the smaller files, the selected files are downloaded from smallest to largest. By selecting any of the listers column labels 'Name', 'Comment' or 'Date' the list can be sorted either by file name or by aminet directory or into the same order as it is in the file the listing came from. You can search the lister for text. The most downloaded files and the highest rated programs are recognized by different dates to the rest. When sorted by 'Date' they can be at the top or bottom of the lister. Message of the day; if there is one in the RECENT file, gets displayed. Play a sound if takes longer than optional seconds to download. * HTTPResume, also found on aminet (comm/www ) does the downloading, get it. ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 10636 4042 61.9% 14-Oct-98 15:16:18 aminet_TREE 23491 7371 68.6% 17-May-99 10:40:30 +HTTPlister.rexx 992 324 67.3% 29-Apr-99 18:11:40 +getaminet.buttons 7437 2878 61.3% 17-May-99 09:27:54 HTTPlister.readme 1854 779 57.9% 24-Apr-99 15:30:22 +chU.small 1854 795 57.1% 24-Apr-99 15:31:08 +gge.small 1856 800 56.8% 24-Apr-99 15:31:54 +lda.small 1818 756 58.4% 24-Apr-99 15:29:32 +pre.small 1854 791 57.3% 24-Apr-99 15:33:14 +srch.small 1854 765 58.7% 24-Apr-99 15:32:36 +uns.small 1113 587 47.2% 22-Oct-98 18:00:10 YAM2HTTPlister.rexx -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 54759 19888 63.6% 17-May-99 21:03:22 11 files
