NAME: DFIXUP.EXE NAME:
PURPOSE: Processes standard dBASE1-type program files, PURPOSE: _
and writes properly indented output files. In
addition, dFIXUP detects and reports on
programming mistakes, and displays some file
statistics.
SYNTAX: DFIXUP [filespec1 ... filespecN] SYNTAX:
filespec can be one of the following:
The name of a .PRG file, with optional
.PRG extension.
The name of a .CLP file (used by the
Clipper2 compiler), with optional .CLP _
extension. All .CLP files must be
prefixed with an '@', which is
consistent with the syntax used by the
Clipper compiler. .CLP files contain the
names of files to be processed, one
filename per line, with optional .PRG
file extension.
The dFIXUP command line supports both path
names and wildcards.
If no command line arguments are given,
dFIXUP will prompt you for an input file to
be processed.
For files not prefixed with an '@', dFIXUP
will automatically assume a .PRG file
extension. For all files prefixed with an
'@', a .CLP extension is assumed. If you have
a file (either .CLP or .PRG) without an
extension, you can process it by including a
period after the filename, e.g. in essence
saying that the file extension is blank.
USAGE: dFIXUP will write all .PRG files specified USAGE:
into files with the same basename, but with
an .OUT extension. The following are examples
of some input file names, and their resulting
output file names:
PAYROLL PAYROLL.OUT
SAMPLE.PRG SAMPLE.OUT
C:\DBASE\TEST C:\DBASE\TEST.OUT

All specified files will be indented as
required, and comments will not be removed.
If you do not specify one or more files to be
processed on the command line, dFIXUP will
ask you for the name of a single .PRG file to
be processed. In this interactive mode, both
path names and .CLP files are supported,
while wildcards are not.
In addition to the input file name, you will
also be asked to supply an output file name
(which must be different from the input file; ____
if this is not the case, the input file will
be destroyed), as well as whether to indent _________

If any errors are found during the processing
of a file, dFIXUP will display the file
statistics, and then wait until you press a
key.
EXAMPLE: Command line use of dFIXUP: EXAMPLE:
DFIXUP PAYROLL.PRG
DFIXUP AR*.PRG AP*.PRG
DFIXUP @GL.CLP
DFIXUP *.PRG
Interactive use of dFIXUP:
DFIXUP
BATCH FILES: BATCH FILES:
dFIXUP will set the DOS ERRORLEVEL if it
terminates with an error condition. These
errors and the corresponding exit codes are:
Couldn't open input file 1
Couldn't open output file 2
Error writing output file 3
dFIXUP aborted by user 6
Couldn't install interrupt handler 7
Couldn't allocate memory for file list 8
Couldn't open .CLP file 9
dFIXUP will try to diagnose and explain these
errors if possible.
You can test against these exit code using a
IF ERRORLEVEL <n> statement in your
batchfiles.
SPECS: dFIXUP has the following limitations and SPECS:

or has a different date stamp, do not use the
program. It may be a Trojan Horse or infected ____________
with a Virus. _____
