What's MakeDIZ ?
------------------
Since Internet is here a lot of people prefers to get files for Amiga
directly from Aminet sites than from BBS: you connect there, you take
files and at the end of the session you find a directory full of files
that you don't remember what they are for. Fortunately all files in
Aminet have a descrition: infact every archive has his own .readme file
in which there is a descrition and other important informations.
This program borned to semplify life to a lot of persons that
continuosly control in the readme or in the recent what a file, founded
around in the HD, is for; it's very useful also for the Sysop that every
day must put in the BBS a lot of files and he needs an help to make this
operation quicker and automatic.
When you run it with the right parameters, the programs searches for
every archives inside a specific directory the correspondent .readme
file, it obtains the description and it puts it as comment for the file
(this can be useful both to see quickly what kind of file it is, both for
the automatic upload in a lot of BBS programs), it inserts in the archive
the FILE_ID.DIZ containing an intestation file, the file descrition, the
name of the author and the directory it was uploaded in.
