A while ago, James Brookes wrote a utility called "describe".
|
|
It has a simple purpose: To maintain a database of utilities for
|
|
<A HREF="gno">GNO/ME</A>
|
|
and
|
|
<A HREF="http://hypermall.com/byteworks">ORCA/Shell</A>
|
|
and offer a way to get a concise description of a utility quickly and easily.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
Since describe is nothing without an up-to-date database,
|
|
<A HREF="http://www.arrowweb.com/sbehrens">Sönke Behrens</A> created
|
|
the first online describe database, which provided a central repository
|
|
for the data, and an easy mechanism for updating that data.
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
<A href="http://www.servtech.com/public/phoenix/computers/gno">
