DESCRIPTION
FDFREQ is a utility to setp up all the files on your hard drive(s) and/or

text files, ALIAS.TXT and LIST.TXT which can then be copied to your
FrontDoor directory. It's FAST - it can catalog a gig drive in a
matter of seconds!

* it's FREE!
INSTALLATION
1) Make a directory called FDFREQ
2) Copy the .exe file into the directory.
3) That's it. <G>
HOW TO USE:
1) Run the program.
2) Type the letter of the drive you wish to catalog. NOTE: If you use
subdirectories for file areas go to the section called SUB-FILES
3) If you fail to type the :\ the program will not continue.
4) Every directory in the current (root) directory will be listed
one at the time. Hit "Y" to have the program process the directory
or "N" (or ENTER) to skip it.
5) Next the program will display the directories you marked and ask
whether you want to <P>rocess, <B>egin Again, or <Q>uit. Hit
<P> to create the text files or <B> if you need to redo your
directory queue. <Q> exits the program instantly.
6) When the program has finished it will return you to DOS. Copy
the ALIAS.TXT and LIST.TXT files to your FrontDoor directory
and you're done!
SUB-FILES
If you use subdirectories for file areas you will need to run it once
for each MAIN directory. The ALIAS.TXT and LIST.TXT files are appended
each time the program is run.
Example: You have a directory called GAMES and then several subdirectories
beneath that called ARCADE, PUZZLES, RPG, and DOORS
1) Start the program.
2) Enter C:\GAMES
3) The subdirectories will be presented to you for processing.
ADDING LISTINGS
You just added a new file area and want to add it to your FREQ list?
Run the program and queue the new directory. It will be added to
the ALIAS.TXT and LIST.TXT files.
