- Short: CATALOGS files into an AmigaGuide document!
- Author: sys2jal@doc.ntu.ac.uk
- Uploader: sys2jal@doc.ntu.ac.uk
- Type: text/hyper
-
- Do you happen to have a large collection of text files? Are they
- stored in one central location with many seperating sub-directories?
- If so, then GuideCompiler may just be able to make your text viewing
- life easier. Why? Well GuideCompiler will scan an unlimited amount
- of source directories recursively if required, and build up a nice
- looking AmigaGuide document of links pointing to all the files it
- encounters. All AmigaGuide files are linked using the AmigaGuide link
- instruction for easy retracing back to the main guide and any other
- file is linked to a user defined viewer. If this viewer is not
- specified, GuideCompiler will use MultiView (if so OS3 required).
- Using a multi file viewer like MultiView or MegaView, means that
- GuideCompiler can be used for more than just text file compilation and
- it's really just up to you to find other uses for it.
- GuideCompiler produces well laidout AmigaGuide documents that
- make moving through a directory tree and accessing files for viewing
- as easy as 1..2...3 :) Try it!!
-
- NameStrip 1.0 is also included in this archive and will scan a
- directory tree and remove spaces from filenames, tidying them up. It
- is needed with GuideCompiler, because it cannot handle files which
- have spaces in them!
-
- ** THIS PROGRAM NEEDS REXXMAST RUNNING! - READ THE DOCS **
-
- Version 1.2 Changes/Additions:
-
- - No longer links AmigaGuide files to AmigaGuide program. Just calls from
- within the destination guide itself. (E.G Link text:guide.guide/main)
- - Now supports multiple source directories. (Suggested by Wangi) - Great!
- - Fixed bug that would add .guide extension if destination specified had .Guide
- or .GuIde etc..Simple comparison change made to compare in uppercase only!
- ( Again spotted by Wangi ) - Cheers mate :)
- - Quite a major frontend change of the destination guide. More highlighting used.
- - Better argument parsing routine added. Allows more expansion options.
- - Now recognises the ? ANYWHERE on input stream. AmigaDos'ish :)
- - Change in template to: SOURCE/M,DEST/K,ALL/S. For K directive all(?) of the
- forms of input are handled. E.G dest=guide dest guide dest= guide dest =guide.
- - Added date and time to the destination guide. NODATE switch used to stop this.
