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.

Installing
First, download the archive:
Place it on your site, log-in (using "telnet"), and open the archive:
gunzip makeqif.tar.gz
tar -xf makeqif.tar
This will create a new "makeqif/
" subdirectory.
The "README.txt
" file (which explains how to compile and
use makeqif) is contained within.

" above. It was written by
