LOOKUP(TM) and RCROSREF(TM) are part of
FWKCS(TM) Contents_Signature System, Ver. 1.21, 1993 Jun 20.
(C)Copyright Frederick W. Kantor 1989-1993. All rights reserved.
Kit for remote Lookup and Rcrosref. Current release: 1993 Jun 20.
New in FWKLU121.ZIP:
This provides current code for the "remote lookup" functions in a relatively
small kit, for use by those who have not yet downloaded the larger FWKCS(TM)
system package (current FWKCS release: FWKCS121.ZIP). The version of
FWKCS.EXE contained in this kit has been revised since the last prior
release.
You can use the remote Lookup to help find the missing files that go with a
single file you have, by doing a remote Lookup and calling the giant BBS's
that run FWKCS(TM). For example, if you want to find the .DOCs that go with
a program, there's a good chance that Lookup and a call to those giant BBS's
will find for you the name of the zipfile which contains that whole set of
files. Even if the name of the file you have was changed, Lookup can still
be used. Then, just download that whole zipfile...
If you are a BBS operator, Lookup helps you use tens of Gigabytes of
collected files to support your users's special requests. Your BBS users
can call you locally at low speed -- you use your high_speed modem to get
what they needed -- letting you devote more of your resources to the kinds
of files you especially want to work with. Then, if you run FWKCS(TM), you
could become a preferred resource for that special area of work that you
like. As a specialist in your own area, you can prepare automatic FWKCS
cross references to help guide BBS users in finding conceptually related
files.
-------------------------
To keep FWKCS.EXE relatively small, some help is provided via text
files, FWKCS121.H0n, n = 0...5. FWKCS.EXE can search for them in the
current directory and on your path. So, if you put FWKCS.EXE on your
path, preferably keep these text files in the same directory with it.
FWKCS <enter> brings up a list of commands for further help.
The extended help (option /** ) uses FWKCS121.REF, which, for reasons of
size, is not included in this kit.
Note: FWKCS(TM) has many features not supported in this kit -- this kit is
intentionally kept small to serve your special needs in using remote Lookup.
