- Introduction
-
- As time goes by, more and more Mainframe Systems are being down
- sized to run on PC's. One of the biggest setbacks is that the PC has many types
- of software which create different file formats, like lotus 123, Word for
- windows, PKZIP, etc. So your file may be saved in any one of hundreds of formats
- and therefore, you might not know what software created it. The JSREC utility
- will simplify the task of determining which software package created your file.
-
- The JSREC program must be provided with a file name or
- a directory name to govern its execution.
-
- For example:
- JSREC C:\<FILENAME> To get the file type
- for a single file.
-
- JSREC C:\<DIRECTORYNAME>\*.* To get the file type
- JSREC C:\<DIRECTORYNAME>\*.DOC for every file in a
- directory.
-
-
- Option #1: Every time a file is identified, there will be a beep. To
- shut off the beep; type: /nobeep after the command.
-
- For example:
- JSREC C:\<DIRECTORYNAME>\*.DOC /NOBEEP
-
-
- Option #2: If JSREC cannot identify a file type, it will display
- the file name without the type. If you do not want to
- see the names of the files which JSREC could not
- identify, Then type: /know after the command.
-
- For example:
- JSREC C:\<DIRECTORYNAME>\*.DOC /KNOW
-
-
- Upgrades
- If you happen to find a file format which this program cannot identify,
- please contact us so that we can modify the code to recognize that file
- format. In return for your assistance in this matter, we may send you a
- copy of the updated program for free.
