AmiGet - A simple search front end for the Aminet CD 2 ====================================================== Installation: ------------ You need either AmigaGuide or MultiView in SYS:utilities OS 2.0 or above required Workbench usage: --------------- 1. Double click the AmiGet Icon 2. Enter the substring to look for in the Aminet CD index (case insensitive) 3. To see full Aminet index, press RETURN without entering a string 4. In the resulting doc, click the archive to unpack it to RAM or the description to view the .readme file Shell usage: ----------- 1. Enter 'AmiGet foobar' to look for foobar in the Aminet CD index 2. Enter 'AmiGet' to see a full index 3. In the resulting doc, click the archive to unpack it to RAM or the description to view the .readme file Configuration ------------- Modify the source. INDEXNAME is path to the INDEX file, INDEXLEN is the mem to alloc for it, AMINETFILES is the path to the aminet database (must end in : or /) and MORE is the text viewer to use. Hint ---- While Amigaguide is running, you can snatch a copy of the doc you're looking at from t:NetGuide* (useful for the complete index). Also note that unpacker output goes to your original window so you might want to shrink the AmigaGuide window. Status ------ Public domain. Quick hack. Source included. Feel free to improve.
