What is TFE?
------------
If you use Telix, you need TFE. Telix is the best telecommunications
program around; but like most such programs, when it comes to updating,
adding, deleting or any other activity involving the contents of your
dialing directories, it leaves a lot to be desired. For instance, to
change the password for one BBS, you have to point to that directory
entry, type E, hit ENTER enough times to get past EVERY other field,
and finally change the entry. Want to create a new entry that's almost
identical to an existing one? Fine, just enter all the same data all
over again, then hit the Toggle key enough times to make sure you got
it right. If one field was wrong, prepare to abuse the ENTER key
again. But there is a better way: TelixFonEd (TFE).
TFE gives you easier, more complete control over the content and
arrangement of your Telix version 3.0 (or higher) dialing directories
(FON files).
Using TFE, you can:
o Translate Procomm v2.4, Procomm+, Qmodem v4, Telemate v2, GT Power
v15.50, Boyan D-3, Boyan v4 and Commo v4 dialing directories into
Telix format.
o Manipulate entries individually, as groups of marked entries, or
as highlighted ranges.
o Sort any part (or all) of a dialing directory on any field, in
ascending or descending order.
o Insert and delete entries at random.
o Copy or move data from one location in a directory to another.
o Write part of a directory (or the entire directory) to another FON
file.
o Print selected entries (or all entries) to a file or printer.
o Edit any field in the directory in a simple, intuitive full-screen
format (no more ENTERing through every field in an entry just to
change the password).
o Pop up menus for many fields (Protocols, Terminal types, etc.) --
on request, or automatically whenever you enter invalid data.
o Clean up corrupted FON files.
o Merge two or more FON files, combining duplicate entries.
o Store additional information about any entries in a FON file, such
as "Sysop Name" or "Hours of Operation."
o Change the values of an entire group of fields with one command.
o Search-and-Replace on any part (or all) of a field.
o And much more!
