Scene Archives Search Utility v1.09
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Written By: Tony Hasselbacher
Welcome to "Scene Archives Search Utility" (now refered to as SASU)..
IMPORTANT: if you want DMS to extract from CD #3, you HAVE to type in the
following:-
assign Scene3: "Scene Archives 3:"
Sorry for this, but the CD was not named good :(..
What is SASU?
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Well, basically, SASU will help you to locate any item that you are after.
Simply type in a keyword (ie, a Demo Name, or Group Name, or even a Disk
Number!), and the program will search and find any relating data. Then
double-click on the required item, and if you have any of The Scene Archives
handy, it'll try to find the file you are after, and you'll be able to extract
that item to disk (if it is a DMS), or else to a directory on your Hard Drive
(if it is a LZX file). There is also some information on the demo presented.
Installing:
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
I recommend that you should just copy SASU to a directory on your HD. So
then it is easily accessible. Just copy these files to your HD on a
directory:-
Scene
Scene.info
scene.data1
scene.data2
Also you might have to install the new version of NList.mcc, as this
program was written for v0.85. It is included on this CD. Also this program
was written under MUI v3.8.
Options
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
There are 2 Search Options, and they Are:-
Search Criteria: What field do you want to search under ?
- Demo Name = Searchs only for the Name.
- Group Name = Searchs only for that Groups Prods.
- Disk Num. = See What is on a Specific Disk.
- Demo+Group = Search for Demo and Group Names
Search Options: What type of Sort?
- Full = Will search for ever occurence of
the specified Keyword.
- Simple = This just looks for the Keyword
only.
- Range Search = This is a special search that
will show everything that is
in a certain Range of Disks.
To Use Range Search
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
The way you use the Range Search is like this..
1 - Make sure that the Disk Nuber is selected in the Search Criteria
Section.
2 - In the Keyword, type in the two numbers you want to search for. For
Example. if you want to find out what is between Disks #7566 and Disk
#7600, somply type "7566 7600" in the Search Keyword (of course with
out the "'s!!).. For another example, type the following :-
4534 4765
in the Search Keyword entry, and then see what happens..
3 - And press Search.
Updates:
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
SASU will be regularily updated. All the updates will appear on Aminet.
Just search for "SASU", and you'll find it..
What are the Scene Archives?
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
The Scene Archives is a massive collection of Amiga Scene Productions,
currently it spans Eleven CD's, with around 1000 disks on each CD.. So
basically 10440 disks are currently in the Set. I hope to have The Scene
Archives #12 out at around Christmas 2001.
If you want to get the Scene Archives, please E-Mail me at
hweight@ii.net Or visit the WWW page at http://move.to/trip ..

also changed the Label for this Button.
