QFIX Version 2.2

QFIX processes the converted file list (FILES.FIX) that is
produced by ZZAP when the /F+ option is used.  It will
automatically make any necessary changes to archive file names in
the BBS file lists that use the same format as QuickBBS or
PCBoard.  This means you don't have to manually edit your
download lists to change the file extensions after you convert
files from one format to another.

The QuickBBS format is fairly simple, each download subdirectory
contains a file, normally FILES.BBS, that contains the list of
files and descriptions for that subdirectory.  For example:

-----------------------------------------------------------------
ZZAP60A.ZIP    Universal archive conversion utility
TPPOP22A.ZIP   TSR package for Turbo Pascal 5.x
               Complete source code included.
-----------------------------------------------------------------

The PCBoard format is identical with the exception that the file
dates and sizes are also included.  This version of QFIX only
handles straight ASCII files.  No guarantee is made that it will
work with files containing embedded ANSI escape sequences.

Some versions of PCBoard may produce a differently formatted file
name, where the name portion is padded to eight characters before
the extension, e.g. "AFILE   .ZIP".  The /S command line option
is provided to handle this diffence.  If /S is included on the
command line the name and extension will be "SPREAD" with the
proper number of spaces, e.g., "QFIX /S UPLD".

The file name must be at the start of the line (no leading
spaces) and must not exceed 12 characters (the maximum DOS
limit).  Lines preceded by one or more spaces will be ignored by
QFIX, thus allowing multi-line descriptions, headers, etc.

Under PCBoard since the file size and name are also stored in the
list file they must be updated as well.  No attempt to do this is
made in QFIX.  Since the Turbo Pascal source code is supplied it
would be a trivial matter to add the necessary changes.
Alternately, PCBFiler with the proper parameters will make the
changes for you if the file name has been properly modified.

QFIX accepts an additional and optional command line parameter.
If the BBS file list name is not FILES.BBS then you must state
the file name on the command line.  QFIX will properly handle
hidden files so you can use it to fix up the description file as
used by 4DOS. Simply give the description file name on the
command line:

                        QFIX descript.ion

When QFIX is executed it will look in the default subdirectory
and along the PATH for FILES.FIX (or the stated list file name),
which contains the list of file names that have changed.
