The package
~~~~~~~~~~~
It contains both the user & developer docs/sources.

User will find interesting tools such as DMcontrol or ** DMlauncher **



the datamaster.library
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

   datamaster.library is a standard Amiga Shared library.

   None of the existing recognition libraries suited my needs, so I decided
   to create mine (good old programmer's behaviour ;-)

   So...What is "so special" in datamaster?

   Well, here are its main features:


*  A MODULAR architecture,with external `recognizer's, that can be very
   easily listed, added, removed,etc... by user, with the DMcontrol
   program.

   These `recognizer's are real subprograms, not old classic user-defined
   strings! 

   This means two things:
   ----------------------

        1) Such `recognizer's are extremely FLEXIBLE, being made of "real
           code", they can recognize ANY `filetype'.

           As an example of the recognizer's flexibility,there is even a
           LINK-Datatypes recognizer,that uses the datatypes.library!
           It's just in case you find brand new datatypes you REALLY need, 
           and there is no existing recognizer (yet ;-),so you can use this
           'bridge' to datatypes meanwhile.


        2) YES, YOU users won't be able to spend nights defining
           "Matchbyte=XXX" filetypes anymore :)

           BUT....don't worry, as:

                - The current "bank" of recognizers surely suits 99% of
                  your needs :) There are LOTS of them already...

                - Programming a `recognizer' is rather trivial.

                - If there is feedback (I hope so :), there will be updates
                  of recognizer files, exactly like for external music
                  players, or xpk sublibraries.
   

*  Small & fast library (100% assembler).
   (The library itself is 6Kb or so!!...then you add/remove the recognizers
   YOU need).

*  The recognizers are sorted by priority:recognizers that are known to be
   slow/rare, or handling very much `filetype' will have a low priority
   etc etc... So----->speed gain.

*  datamaster.library offers 2 `filetype' checking modes:

   ->REAL `DATA checking' ("heavy" mode,but very precise).
        Whatis.library does it too,it's true,but datamaster uses external
        `recognizer's using >>REAL CODE<<.This should beat all the
        MATCHBYTE(0x44ff00..) thing I guess....And `recognizer's come out
        with a 100-200 bytes size which is not that much you'll agree!

   ->FILE `PATTERN matching',very classic,used in most the previous
   libraries of this kind before.(accuracy:so,so :-)



For programmers:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*  The main recognition functions are very easy to use.
   (ONE library call is enough :)


*  Many support functions.
   These functions are for all kind of text/string comparisons,search etc...
   They were made to be used in the `recognizer's, but they may be used as
   well in your own programs.

   Note: being an assembly programmer, I thought of these functions for asm
   users. (C users already have most of these in amiga.lib)
