[Download by the NUMBERS
TO: SYSOPS Betty and Don (and also Steve) RE: Numbers of downloadable
filenames
Well, this is interesting… On July 28 I asked CIS to list all of the
AmigeTech downloadable files. I did this by first asking the File Finder
to search by "File Name", then list those that were "Binary" files (as
opposed to those like ASCII, Image, Mac or Graph). File Finder then told
me there were 3898 products found, so I told it to "Display Menu of Files",
and it proceeded to list them. Here is a typical capture:
Amiga File Finder+
1 Fishing Boats On The Beach, A van Gogh Painting
2 "Aqua" a composite of Imagine Objects and artwork
3 Coal Barges, A Painting By Vincent van Gogh
4 Barren, A VistaPro 2.0 Landscape in JPEG Format
5 La Berceuse, A Painting By Vincent van Gogh
….. 3493 Set of utilities from Matt Dillon – many utils. 3494 Convert
TeX dvi output to ASCII format 3495 Port of the Unix utility GREP. 3496
Elvis v1.5a, very full featured vi/ex clone 3497 Removes control characters
from text. 3498 Splits large files into separate pieces 3499 Text reader
that will also display IFF pics
As you see, I have what would appear to be file numbers, file
explainations, but no actual file names. Is there another way to download
these files? Sounds like an interesting situation. I can't wait to hear
what I did wrong! Thanks, all.
