AST ( Aminet Search Tool ) is a tool to find files in aminet indexes.
I mainly wrote this one to find files on aminet cd 2-7. I created an
index file ( included ) with a new column for the cd number. AST uses
fast string match for quick search or MatchPattern() for complex
search ( eg. "#?.(lha|lzh)#? 6 " ). AST can be configured via
ToolTypes or ENV-Variables. From V1.02 on AST is FreeWare.
To convert new INDEX-Files use aminet/util/conv/i2db.lha, a great
converter tool written by Franck Aniere.
