Architecture: m68k-amigaos >= 2.1; ppc-morphos

With this commandline tool you can create file listings from directories.
Probably not very useful but can be helpful when backuping HD to CD-RWs.
Not much documentation (yet), but feel free to send an email if you get
probs or have suggestions/bug reports.

Commandline template is:

DIR/M,TO/K,P=PATTERN/K,MAX/K/N,BLOCKSIZE/K/N,NOERRORS/S:

   DIR/M
      - directories to include in the listing
      - pattern matching is supported here
      - default is current directory

   TO/K
      - target directory for listing file
      - the default is current directory

   P=PATTERN/K
      - include only files matching AmigaDOS pattern
      - the default is #?

   DIRPATTERN/K
      - enter only directories matching AmigaDOS pattern
      - the default is #?

   MAX/K/N
      - max size (in _megabytes_) of files in total per one list
      - if listing file comes full then MakeList creates another list
      - useful with MakeCD (try MAX=650)
      - default is -1 (create only one listing with all files)

   BLOCKSIZE/K/N
      - size of blocks
      - default is 2048 (size of blocks on CD-ROM)
      - with this option MakeList can find out how well file fits to the
        target media

   LINKLIST/S
      - collect links to a file for later use

   NOERRORS/S
      - continue even if an error occurs (except when out of memory)


Examples:

   MakeList HD0: HD1: HD2: HD3: TO=RAM: MAX=650
      (creates lists from all four HDs)

   MakeList Sources:#? P=#?.c
      (creates lists from all #?.c files in Sources: dir)


Have fun!


   Version 1.2
   ~~~~~~~~~~~
      - Release date 5.10.2008
      - Added support for 64bit directory scan (MorphOS 2.0 or newer)
      - Now asks to delete all existing file listings if present
      - Implemented custom memory pools for Amiga version. They use less memory
        than sluggish Commodore memory pools and are also much faster if TLSF
        memory system is used. As a result Kickstart 3.0 is no longer required.

   Version 1.1
   ~~~~~~~~~~~
      - Release date 20.6.2006
      - Added LINKLIST and DIRPATTERN options

   Version 1.0
   ~~~~~~~~~¨~
      - Release date 21.5.2003
      - First working version
      - Thanks for Luca 'Hexaae' Longone for the idea :-)
