Scene Archives Search Utility ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Written By: Tony Hasselbacher Welcome to "Scene Archives Search Utility" (now refered to as SASU).. IMPORTANT: if you want DMS to extract from CD #3, you HAVE to type in the following:- assign Scene3: "Scene Archives 3:" Sorry for this, but the CD was not named good :(.. What is SASU? ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Well, basically, SASU will help you to locate any item that you are after. Simply type in a keyword (ie, a Demo Name, or Group Name, or even a Disk Number!), and the program will search and find any relating data. Then double-click on the required item, and if you have any of The Scene Archives handy, it'll try to find the file you are after, and you'll be able to extract that item to disk (if it is a DMS), or else to a directory on your Hard Drive (if it is a LZX file). There is also some information on the demo presented. Installing: ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ I recommend that you should just copy SASU to a directory on your HD. So then it is easily accessible. Just copy these files to your HD on a directory:- Scene Scene.info scene.data1 scene.data2 Also you might have to install the new version of NList.mcc, as this program was written for v0.85. It is included on this CD. Also this program was written under MUI v3.8. Options ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ There are 2 Search Options, and they Are:- Search Criteria: What field do you want to search under ? - Demo Name = Searchs only for the Name. - Group Name = Searchs only for that Groups Prods. - Disk Num. = See What is on a Specific Disk. - All = Search for all of the Above Search Options: What type of Sort? - Full = Will search for ever occurence of the specified Keyword. - Simple = This just looks for the Keyword only. Updates: ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ SASU will be regularily updated. All the updates will appear on Aminet. Just search for "SASU", and you'll find it.. What are the Scene Archives? ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ The Scene Archives is a massive collection of Amiga Scene Productions, currently it spans nine CD's, with 1000 disks on each CD.. So basically 9000 disks are currently in the Set. I hope to have The Scene Archives #10 out by Mid 2000. And number 11, later in the year :) ..
