- QFIX Version 1.0

- QFIX processes the converted file list (FILES.FIX) that is
- produced by ZZAP when the /F+ option is used. It will
- automatically make any necessary changes to archive file names in
- the BBS file lists that use the same format as QuickBBS. This
- means you don't have to manually edit your download lists to
- change the file extensions after you convert files from one
- format to another.
-
- The QuickBBS format is fairly simple, each download subdirectory
- contains a file, normally FILES.BBS, that contains the list of
- files and descriptions for that subdirectory. For example:
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
- ZZAP53A.ZIP Universal archive conversion utility
- TPPOP22A.ZIP TSR package for Turbo Pascal 5.x
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
-
- The file name must be at the start of the line (no leading
- spaces) and must not exceed 12 characters (the maximum DOS
- limit). Lines preceded by one or more spaces will be ignored by
- QFIX, thus allowing multi-line descriptions, headers, etc.
-
- QFIX accepts one optional command line parameter. If the BBS
- file list name is not FILES.BBS then you must state the file name
- on the command line. QFIX will properly handle hidden files so
- you can use it to fix up the description file as used by 4DOS.
- Simply give the description file name on the command line:
-
- QFIX descript.ion
-
- When QFIX is executed it will look in the default subdirectory
- and along the PATH for FILES.FIX, which contains the list of file
- names that have changed.
