- This package contains several files to help you on your way towards
- creating 3rd party utilities for ALLFIX.
-
- The information in this documentation is not very detailed. It
- is suggested that you look at the few example procedures to
- learn how to read in the data files. Please make sure that the
- file structure remains correct, if your utility needs to update
- any of the files. Corrupt files can lead to a lot of headaches.
-
- Following is a description of the 5 sample files:
-
- TYPES.PAS Contains the type definitions for ALLFIX.
-
- FILEECHO.PAS Contains a sample procedure for reading
- the file echo configuration. The procedure
- for reading the node manager, hatch manager,
- etc, configuration is identical to this one.
- Therefore, those routines are not included
- in this package.
-
- STATFILE.PAS Contains a sample procedure for reading
- in the statistics information.
-
- FILEAREA.PAS Contains a sample procedure for reading in
- the FILEAREA.FIX file.
-
- CRC32.PAS Contains sample procedures for calculating
- the 32 bit CRC of filenames and strings.
-
- INTERNET.DOC Contains the formats and structures used
- to send files via the internet.
-
- UUENCODE.PAS Contains routines to uuencode and decode
- binary data.
-
-
- Please feel free to contact me if you have any trouble with any
- of these definitions. Also, if you make any nice utilities, please
- let me know, so that we can hatch them in the ALLFIX Utility
- fileecho and make them available on our website.

- Thank you,
