Fredrik: It seems that something went wrong when Kai uploaded this archive
in May 98. Well .. here's another try!
This is yet another FileID-extractor for fileinformation (file_id.diz) as
found in AmiNet-files, BBS-systems, etc. What makes it different from
other FileID-extractors is :
- Supports MPEG audio files
- Can be used to extract single files
- Can operate in Aminet-mode, i.e. look out for readme files
- Recursion into subdirectories
- Huge graphical user interface (useable w/o GUI as well)
- Extracts faster than other programs
- Multidirectory support
- Different ways of sorting
- No external programs (except LHa,Unzip,Lzx,cfx) required
- 1000s of options
- The program is continuously updated and will be expanded even
further
Supported filetypes are: Aminet-.readme-files Exe, Dms, Txt, Lha/Lzh, Lzx,
Zip, MPEG-audio files all other files are examined via cfx (Crunched File
Examiner by Bob Rye), if present.
Remeber that FiDED is EMail-Ware, which means that you have to send me an
E-Mail or Snailmail if you use the program regularly. I'll then keep you
informed about future releases and updates if you want to.
Version history
V39.553 (13.05.1998)

caused incomplete scanning (sometimes)
· Added two new options PRINTDIRNAME and
DONTPRINTSUBDIRNAME

mp3info by Thorvald Natvig and Mike Cheng
· Added MPEGVERBOSE commandline option
V39.525 (13.03.1998) Homepage-bugfix update
· Sorry, yesterday's release still had some
problems with the sorting, especially in
the DATE/REVDATE modes
V39.516 (12.03.1998) Homepage-bugfix update
· Sortmode REVDATE added (this option was not
mentioned in the 39.503-history entry below; still
it is documented and implemented in that version)
· The sorting/date-separator went completely bonkers
in the DATE and REVDATE-sorting modes. Fixed
· Added more abbreviations for the commandline
options
· Silly error in the welcome-message. Find that
one for yourself. It's really embarassing...
V39.503 (07.03.1998) Tenth release to the Aminet
· Backslash characters '\\\' did appear wrongly in
previous versions of this document. Fixed.
· Comments will now be included in dirfile
(see new options : NOCOMMENTS, COMMENTSFIRST)
· Textfiles may be included at the start and
end of the dirfile (new options: TOPTEXT and
BOTTOMTEXT)
· SORTBY-tooltype did not work. Fixed.
V39.457 (15.12.1997) Homepage-only update
· The percent sign can be replaced by \$ in all
pattern strings to prevent clashes with Diskmaster
or other programs that use %s or %d for other purposes.
V39.455 (07.11.1997) Ninth release to the Aminet (last
version didn't appear there!)
· SORT-tooltype was broken in last version. Fixed.
· 7 new values for SIZEMODE: k,m,kb,mb,K,M,auto. Caution:
SIZEMODE arguments are now case-sensitive
· Dateoutput can be turned off (will leave more space
for the filename). Use the option/tooltype NODATE
· NOINFO tooltype/option just prints raw file id's
· Finally: FiDED (when started from shell) may be
aborted by sending an Control-C signal.
V39.429 (30.10.1997) Ninth release to the Aminet
· New tooltype/option CHOPFILENAMES chops long
filenames
· New tooltype/option AMINETMODE searches for
.readme files to get a file-description (and
ignores #?.readme and INDEX files)
· New tooltype/option SIZEMODE allows of different
output-modes
· New tooltype/option DATESEPARATOR includes
a separating line between subsequent dates in
the dirfile
· Fixed pseudo-bug: The docs incorrectly stated that
one could use C-placeholders like "\n" in custom-
strings - this didn't work. Now it does !
· Included new options in the program's icon
· Slight changes to the info-text
