makeqif
The makeqif program is a Unix script, written in C, which will delve through the deepest corners of your website or FTP site and collect information about each of the files. From this information, it will create a ".qif" file, perfect for use by XL Search (or Shareware.com).The "
.qif" file's format is one file per line, containing the following fields, separated by ASCII "TAB" characters:
- Path/Filename
- Modification date (in YYMMDD format)
- Size, in bytes, of the file
- A text description
makeqif builds this for you! For details, please read the "
README.txt" that comes in the makeqif distribution.Once your site is index, please fill out the "Add My Site" form on our feedback page. Click here to jump directly to the form.
