Short: V1.3 GUI to parse AmiNet RECENT files Author: D.F. Duck Version: v1.3 (15 Dec 95) Type: comm/misc Long: RECENT is a mouse driven graphic interface for parsing AmiNet RECENT files. Interactivly select files to "get" from AmiNet. The result is a unix-able script to "cd" around AmiNet and "mget" the files. You can optionally get the files ".readme". The reason for getting the .readme files; The SHORT description in the AmiNet RECENT file is truncated to 40 characters, and it seems most uploaders use longer SHORT descriptions. If you have and use the AmiNote program (written by me) it will look for the existence of the .readme file and pull the untruncated SHORT description from it. Then add it to the archive file as an AmigaDOS "filenote". Then optionaly Copy or Move the files to a bbs file directory or AmiNet Mirror. RECENT is written in ARexx, then crunched using The ReXXmAsHeR v0.4g.
