MANUAL.TXT this manual in ASCII text format, displayed by typing "TYPE MANUAL.TXT | MORE" or printed by typing "PRINT MANUAL.TXT". ORDER.FRM printable order form (type "print order.frm") ----------------------- | FixFile Operation | ----------------------- Start FixFile by typing "FIXFILE" at the DOS prompt. If you include a filename on the command line, it will be opened and displayed immediately, for example... FIXFILE . A full drive:path\filename may be specified for viewing and altering the contents in other drives and directories. After the filename, you may type a text string to search for. If it is found, FixFile will move to that string immediately. For example, to open NONAME.EXE and find 'Copyright', type FIXFILE NONAME.EXE Copyright. Use [LEFT] and [RIGHT] arrow keys to move within the file one byte at a time. Press the [PAGEUP] or [PAGEDOWN] keys to move 40 bytes at a time. When the byte to be edited is within the displayed arrows, you may edit it in three ways; 1) press the key of the character you wish to change to, 2) use the [UP] and [DOWN] arrow keys to increment or decrement that bytes's value, 3) hold the ALT key down while using the numeric keypad to type the ASCII number equivalent of the character to be entered. The [INSERT] key may be pressed to change edit mode between INSERT and OVERSTRIKE. In insert mode, each edit key press will add to the length of the file as displayed on screen. The [DELETE] key will remove the byte between the displayed arrows, and reduce the file's length by one byte. The file may be SAVED with its current - press [F2], or SAVED AS a different filename - press [F3], or CLOSED without saving - press [F5]. If no file is open and displayed, press OPEN [F4] and type the filename to be edited in the prompt box. A sliding bar will indicate progress of the load into memory. File size is limited to 65000 bytes in the current version of FixFile. SEARCH for character strings by pressing [F6] and typing the text to be found in the prompt box. Terminate the text by pressing . The pointer will be located one byte after the text if found or remain at the current location if the text is not found. You may wish to GO TO a specific location (or offset) within the file. Press [F8] to open a prompt box for the location. Type DECIMAL numbers and press [enter]. The offsets start at 0, and the maximum would be the file's length - 1.

This helps identify any files which have been modified, or sets them as a packaged product. Type SETTIME and optionally follow this with the filename to be set. DOS wild characters can be used. You may specify a drive:path\filename to set the time stamp of files in another drive and/or directory. A default time and date will be applied to those files. To override the default, include new values on the command line after the filename in the order MONTH DAY YEAR HOUR MINUTES. SETTIME *.EXE 1 15 94 17 0 The above example will set the date/time of all files with a .EXE extension to January 15 1994, 5:00 pm. DOS does not allow dates of a year prior to 1980. Type only the last two digits of the year. For the year 2000 and beyond, type the 00, 01 etc., and SetTime will convert this to 2000, 2001 etc. It is not necessary to include all parts of the date. The default will be overridden in the sequence shown, until all given values have been used. The following example will set all .EXE files to February 1st, with the default year and time. SETTIME *.EXE 2 1 The 24 hour clock is used, and SetTime will validate the entered date and time for reasonableness. If beyond the accepted values, a closest guess will be used. An entry of April 31 will convert to May 1 of that year. The CURRENT time and date may be applied by typing the word NOW, upper or lower case, with or without the surrounding quote marks. The word NOW should be used in place of any date or time arguments. for example... SETTIME *.EXE now ---------------------------------- Changing the Default Date and Time ---------------------------------- The default date and time are embedded within SetTime.COM and easily located and altered with FIXFILE. To change the month, type... FIXFILE SETTIME.COM MONTH: SetTime will be opened and the file will be moved to the byte following the text "MONTH:". This byte may be altered with the [Up]/[Down] arrow keys to the new (decimal) value. Move to the following text to alter other default values. SetTime will check the date and time for reasonableness each time it runs. An invalid date will be converted to the nearest valid date. --------------------- | LICENSE AGREEMENT | --------------------- Odd Creations grants you a nonexclusive license to use this DEMONSTRATION COPY of FixFile and SetTime for trial and evaluation purposes.
