What's MakeDIZ ?
------------------

   Since  Internet is here a lot of people prefers to get files for Amiga
directly  from  Aminet  sites  than from BBS: you connect there, you take
files  and  at  the end of the session you find a directory full of files
that  you  don't  remember  what  they  are for. Fortunately all files in
Aminet  have  a descrition: infact every archive has his own .readme file
in which there is a descrition and other important informations.

   This  program  borned  to  semplify  life  to  a  lot  of persons that
continuosly  control  in the readme or in the recent what a file, founded
around  in the HD, is for; it's very useful also for the Sysop that every
day  must put in the BBS a lot of files and he needs an help to make this
operation quicker and automatic.

   When  you  run it with the right parameters, the programs searches for
every  archives  inside  a  specific  directory the correspondent .readme
file,  it  obtains the description and it puts it as comment for the file
(this can be useful both to see quickly what kind of file it is, both for
the automatic upload in a lot of BBS programs), it inserts in the archive
the  FILE_ID.DIZ containing an intestation file, the file descrition, the
name of the author and the directory it was uploaded in.
