Introduction
------------
«AminetIdx» is a very powerfull and convenient tool for searching archives
into the Aminet INDEX files and then making your shopping.

The index is loaded into memory and parsed to be displayed in order into
directories and subdirectories and you can locate some archives that match
a filter in all or part of the index.
The filter applies on "File" and/or "Description", on "Age" using the
presets or a special value.

Then you can mark some archives you want to download, they will be copied
into a "Collect" window which contents can be saved as plain text, ftp-mail
text, or even AmFTP batch text to be imported directly into AmFTP.

At last, «AminetIdx» is freeware, but of course feel free to send me donations
or gifts  >8-))
