Missing Proggies

Currently looking for these proggies

• Guide Punt by Stoney - A program I made, I'd really like to find this. I believe it was guide.exe.
• Magenta by ReDxKinG - Recently version 2.0 was found (in this archive), however we are still looking for the latest version
• Reset 1.0 by skribe (TOSers/termer/account reseter)
• 1-888'd by skribe (TOSers/termer/account reseter)
• Macro studio by i88i (level9.zip ?)
• Gemini Macro by anubis
• Macro house
• Pup Tool by Pen (puptool.zip)

commiting large amount of files

FYI if you ever try to commit a lot of zip files you will probably run in to errors.

A way around that is to use the included file:

gcommitfile.sh <filename>

Example Use

Recursively commiting all files in current directory:

find . -exec gcommitfile.sh {} \;

Recursively commiting all files in current directory but omiting directory "unsorted-zip":

find . -not -path "./unsorted-zip/*" -exec gcommitfile.sh {} \;
