Obtaining a Current Database

+ +The describe database last updated on %%DATE%%. +

+ +The describe database consists of two files. The first is a specially +formatted ASCII file, known as the database "source" file. +It can be manually edited with any text editor, or updated with +descu(8). +It doesn't really matter where on your system this file resides, but the path +/usr/lib/describe.src +is recommended. +

+ +The second file is the compiled database file. This file is compiled +from the source file by the +descc(8) +program. It is a binary file and not human-readable. Unless the +DESCDB +environment variable has been set, this file must have the +pathname +/usr/lib/describe.db. +

+ +Both files are available here: +

Home of James' describe database

+ +The current version of describe is %%VERSION_LONG%%. +
+The describe database was last updated %%DATE%%. +

+

+

+ +A while ago, James Brookes wrote a utility called "describe". +It has a simple purpose: To maintain a database of utilities for +GNO/ME +and +ORCA/Shell +and offer a way to get a concise description of a utility quickly and easily. +

+ +Since describe is nothing without an up-to-date database, +Sönke Behrens created +the first online describe database, which provided a central repository +for the data, and an easy mechanism for updating that data. +

+ +Leslie Barstow also maintains an online version of the describe database. +(He gets his data from Sönke.) +His version is indexed by alphabet and category, and is searchable. +You can find his version at + +http://www.servtech.com/public/phoenix/computers/gno. +

+ +This page is based heavily on Sönke's and Leslie's work. +From this page you can: +

Obtaining the Describe Program

+ +The current version of describe is %%VERSION_LONG%%. +

+ +If you don't have describe yet, or if yours is out-of-date, you can +obtain a current copy from + +ftp://ftp.gno.org/pub/apple2/gs.specific/gno/doc.utils/describe%%VERSION_SHORT%%.shk + +This archive actually consists of three different programs: +

    +
  • describe, + the program which prints out the requested describe entry; +
  • descc, + which compiles the describe database input "source" file + into a binary database; and +
  • descu, + which can be used for batch updates to the describe database + "source" file. +

Making Submissions

+ +If you have written a shell program for GNO or ORCA/Shell, please take a +minute and submit a describe entry. If you don't know what a describe +entry looks like, see the +descc(8) +manual page or look at the describe database source file. Alternately, +the file + +ftp://ftp.gno.org/pub/apple2/gs.specific/gno/doc/templates10.shk +contains examples of describe entries plus other recommended methods of +documenting your programs. +

+ +There are two ways to submit a describe entry: +

    +
  1. Use the form, below; or +
  2. Email your entry or entries to + + describe-submit@trenco.gno.org. +

    + Since the recipient of this address is a filter, is is mandatory + that your mail conform to the following conventions: +

      +
    • You must have the word "describe" somewhere in the + subject line. The case doesn't matter. +
    • The body of your message may only contain one or more describe + entries. All field names (such as "Name:" and + "Shell:") must be at the start of a line. The + last (description) field is ended either at the end of the + message, or when the next "Name:" field is found. +
    • If your email software appends your .signature file, ensure + that your signature is delimited from the body of the message + in the standard fashion: By two dash ('-') characters + followed by a newline. There newline may be preceeded by + whitespace. +
    • Do not use mailers which automaticly insert html formatting + information outside of the message headers. +
    + If your email does not conform to these conventions, then it will + be ignored by the filter. +
+The master database may take a few days before it is updated, regardless +of which method you use. This is because a human reviews the entries +before they are added to the database. This check is done to avoid +abuse by malicious individuals. +

+ +We recommend that you actually include a describe entry in with your +program files. (Describe files usually use the suffix ".desc"). +That way, it is easier to remember to update your describe entry when +you update your program, and you only have to fill out the information +once. +

+ +If you are updating a program that has been around for a while, you +might want to check for an existing describe entry before making a +submission. Many programs have entries in the database even though +none are included in the sources. (In most cases, the programs predate +the database.) +
