- Checklist for using this FWKLU205.ZIP package:
-
- [ ] 1. Do PKUNZIP FWKLU205.ZIP <enter>
-

- session under a multitasking system (including IBM OS/2 2.0 or later);
- preferably at least 256 KB free memory (1 KB = 1024 bytes).
-
- This zipfile, FWKLU205.ZIP, is a kit for users who wish to use only the
- remote Lookup and remote cross_reference features of the FWKCS Contents_
- Signature System. This package is smaller, for your convenience, but it
- runs the same kernel and, for this reason, has the same (low) price as for
- private personal use of the main FWKCS(TM) Contents_Signature System.
-
- Provided that no fee is charged for the use, copying, or distribution; and
- provided that they are not modified in any way; then you may freely
- distribute this package, solely in its original Authenticity Verification
- Zipfile named FWKLU205.ZIP with AV code =
- "# OFT466 Frederick W. Kantor (founder/information mechanics)" .
-
- You may test this material at no fee before registering it. To run an
- unregistered copy, keep a copy of REGISTER.FRM in the same directory with
- FWKCS.EXE. The suggested test time is up to 30 days. If for use in a
- public, commercial, school, institutional, or governmental environment,
- then this no_fee test period shall not be more than 45 days.
-
- Contents:
-
- FILE_ID.DIZ to describe this zipfile when it is uploaded to a BBS.
- README.TXT <--<< you are here...
- REGISTER.TXT how to register just the remote lookup functions.
- FWKLU205.BLT short explanation SYSOPs can post for users.
- GETLOOK.BAT to get the remote lookup functions (see list, below).
- FWKLU.205 used by GETLOOK.
- FWKLU_TM.205 used by GETLOOK.
-
- Run GETLOOK to get:
-
- FWKCS.EXE main program, in assembly_language.
- FWKCS205.H00 text help file callable by FWKCS.EXE.
- LOOKUP.BAT for preparing a small inquiry_file to send to BBS.
- LOOKUPZ.BAT like LOOKUP, but esp. for checking zipfiles before upload
- RCROSREF.BAT for following up on cross_references.
- LOOKUP.DOC read this for help.
- REGISTER.DOC for explanation of prices, and for information about
- how to get new releases of FWKCS(TM) software.
- REGISTER.FRM the registration form; to run an unregistered version,
- keep a copy of REGISTER.FRM in the same directory with
- FWKCS.EXE.
-
- 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 one of the giant
- BBS's that run FWKCS(TM). For example, if you want to find the .DOCs that go
- with a game, there's a good chance that Lookup and a call to one of those
- giant BBS's can 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's 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.
-
- -------------------------
-
- Getting Started:
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- first do PKUNZIP FWKLU205.ZIP <enter>
-
- then do GETLOOK <enter>
-
- After that, for direct on_line help,
-
- type LOOKUP /* <enter>
-
- RCROSREF /* <enter>
-
- More detailed information is given in LOOKUP.DOC. See REGISTER.DOC for
- information about registering FWKLU(TM) and FWKCS(TM), and about how to
- get new versions of FWKCS.
-
- Experimental data has shown that the contents_signature system used by this
- remote Lookup capability has provided a typical pair_wise statistical error
- rate of less than one part in ten trillion. (This test data is included in
- FWKCS205.REF, in the main FWKCS205.ZIP package.)
-
- If you wish later to do a full FWKCS system installation, REGISTER.DOC
- contains information about how to get the current release.
-

-
- You also need these programs:
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- To use Lookup and Rcrosref together, you need on your PATH at least the
- following (note: "*" denotes shareware; if you are missing any of the *

- downloads):
-
- Needed for Lookup and for Rcrosref:
-
- * Phil Katz's PKZIP(R), Version 1.10 or later
-
- -------------------------------
-
- If you start exploring what FWKCS can do, for some FWKCS Auxiliary
- Functions you should allow at least 367 KB free memory, and for full

-
- * McAfee's SCAN
-
- * Vernon Buerg's LIST
