Recentify v1.3
**************
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE THAT COULD OCCURS ON YOUR MACHINE
BECAUSE THE USE OF MY PROGRAM...etc, etc, etc....
YOU CAN FREELY RE-DISTRIBUTE THIS ARCHIVE ONLY IF IT'S COMPLETE.
IF YF YOU DIFFUSE THIS PROG ON A COVER-DISK, PLEASE SEND ME A COPY OF THE
REVUE.
Purpose:
--------
This program has been made because I'm a Aminet fan but I don't have a
permanent access to a modem. So I often missed some Recent files. Recentify
is the solution. There are many progs that do the same thing than Recentify
but none have all its fonctionnalities. Recentify will scan your Index file
one time and will produce a recent file, like in your dreams !!!
How ?
-----
The template is:
C:>Recentify ?
FROM/A,TO,AGE/K/N,X=EXACT/S,Q=QUIET/S:
Only five arguments !!!
FROM: The Index file to build Recent file from. If no name is specified
an asl filerequester will appear.
TO: The Recent file. By default, T:Recent.
AGE: The age in weeks of the archive. Ranging from 0 to 12. Default is 0.
X=EXACT: If set, Recentify will build Recent only whith files uploaded
EXACTLY AGE week ago otherwise, it will build Recent with files
uploaded between AGE and 0 weeks ago.
Q=QUIET: If set, there will be no output otherwise, Recentify will print
a line number to show progression.
BUGS ???
--------
Recentify was only tested on A1200 Blizzard IV 030/50 and Blizzard IV
060/50 with OS 3.1.
I don't know if it will work under other OS but I don't see why it
wouldn't !!!
But if you find some bugs or if you have some suggestions, please (E-)mail me.
IMPORTANT !!!!
--------------
This is my first try in C and there are many things that I don't know.
Specially, I don't know how to modify the stack directly from my program.
In fact I don't even know if it's possible !!!
But if you scan an Index file with an AGE value too high or if there are too
many files AGE week old, there will be a stack overflow and a GURU :(.
If it happens, you'll have to increase the stack value before to start
again. Sorry, but as soon as I'll have the solution, I will implement it.
This program is (E-)MailWare, because I'd like to know how many people uses
my prog and what they think about it. If you want it, you could send me some
help about codind C or E(little source, how to increase stack, how to read a
file quickly, a gadtools interface, a PENTIUM 200 emulator...). I want to
code on my Amiga but it seems that there is a lack of doc about coding, so
help me please.
