----------------------------------------------------------------------------
AMOK is going to be a 100 disks, a reason to make some changes.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here's an overview about the changes from AMOK #101 on upwards:
* AMOK is going to be more international. Therefore all submissions should
also include english documentation. Submissions including only english
documentation are welcome, too.
The reason therefore is that we are now able to distribute AMOK into the
AmiNet. There we can better promote Oberon and Modula and are able to
present it to a broader audience. AmiNet is all english.
Therefore exist these files now in english and german, e.g. there are
the files "Inhalt" and "Contents" containing the same information.
The latest AMOK-Disks are already available via anonymous ftp from
ftp.uni-stuttgart.de.
* The disks are compiled using the FastFileSystem.
AmigaDos 2.0 is now widely recognized as the minimum OS version, so we
use this feature to pack more data on a disk.
* Submissions without ".product-info" don't have much chances to be
published on the AMOK disks.
It is quite a lot of work to create a contents file for a whole disk, if
you have to look for all sorts of information, e.g. name of author,
compiler (Oberon, Modula), usage und version of the program, which are
spread over different files (*.doc, *.mod, *.readme...).
This is too much work for us and the data can be provided much easier
(more exact, faster) by the author.
We have decided to use the .product-info format by Fred Fish. This has
many advantages:
- just ONE description for AMOK and Fish
- KingFisher is able to handle AMOK disks
- we can create the contents files automatically
A description of the file format is on disk (file 'Product-Info.Spec').
You should use english for description, but any other language is better
than nothing.
The format must be used as it is, but there are some changes from draft
#6 by Fred Fish:
--> .reference is not optional for AMOK files. It must be supplied if
there exists an earlier version in order to create a link to that
version.
Ex.:
--------schnipp--------
.reference
AMOK#99:DrawA5000/
1.0
--------schnapp--------
Creates e.g. "Update to version 1.0 on AMOK #99"
--> Source is not optional. This string is searched for the following
keywords: Oberon, Modula, M2, Arexx. The keywords then appear
directly after the name (in brackets). Ex.:
DrawA5000 1.1 (Oberon/Modula/Arexx)
--> We introduced a new field: .beschreibung
This schould contain the description in german language. This field
is used to generate the file 'Inhalt'.
You can find examples on each AMOK disk (upto 103 only as 'mini-info',
which was created by ourselves).
