Short: View AMINET RECENT in lister +download files Author: Brian Scott Uploader: bscott@odyssey.apana.org.au Type: biz/dopus Requires: o HTTPResume 1.3 Copyright © 1998 Andrija Antonijevic o Dopus5+ © Copyright 1997 Jonathan Potter & GPSoftware(c) o rexxsupport.library V1.8 changes: Added a 'Date' column to the right of the 'Comment' column. By selecting the label for the 'Date' column, entries in the lister can now be sorted into the same order as they were in the file they came from. The most downloaded files and the highest rated programs no longer start with '!.' and '%.' they are recognized by thier dates now. See the readme for more on that. Added directions in the HTTPlister.rexx header on how to use this if you don't use a proxy. If 'Date:' is found in the header of the Aminet RECENT file then that date is shown in the listers' drag bar along with 'Aminet listing' or the files name. The rest of the archive is the same, so if you have V1.7 you only need to replace the HTTPlister.rexx file to update to V1.8. (And of course reset the variables again). ------------------------------- 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. 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. 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, 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 19478 6496 66.6% 23-Oct-98 18:00:16 +HTTPlister.rexx 562 231 58.8% 14-Oct-98 11:28:10 +getaminet.buttons 5794 2335 59.6% 02-Jan-99 13:55:50 HTTPlister.readme 18916 6340 66.4% 02-Jan-99 13:37:00 HTTPlisterV1.8.rexx 1480 957 35.3% 14-Oct-98 11:07:12 +chd.small 1468 964 34.3% 10-Oct-98 16:58:38 +gge.small 1478 930 37.0% 14-Oct-98 11:06:06 +lda.small 1476 953 35.4% 14-Oct-98 11:04:58 +srch.small 1480 969 34.5% 14-Oct-98 11:04:16 +uns.small 1113 587 47.2% 22-Oct-98 18:00:10 YAM2HTTPlister.rexx -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 63881 24804 61.1% 02-Jan-99 19:03:20 11 files
