LOOKUP(TM) and RCROSREF(TM) are part of FWKCS(TM) Contents_Signature System, Ver. 1.24, 1994 Aug 10. (C)Copyright Frederick W. Kantor 1989,1994. All rights reserved. Kit for remote Lookup and Rcrosref. Current release: 1994 Aug 10. New in FWKLU124.ZIP: This provides current code for the "remote lookup" functions in a relatively small kit, for use by those who have not yet downloaded the larger FWKCS(TM) system package (current FWKCS release: FWKCS124.ZIP). The version of FWKCS.EXE contained in this kit has been revised since the last major prior release. All FWKCS.EXE functions are enabled in the unregistered copy. To run an unregistered copy, keep a copy of REGISTER.FRM in the same directory with FWKCS.EXE. You can put the whole set of files on your PATH, and call LOOKUP from anywhere on your system. Suggested test time is two weeks, before registering. If this software is used in a public, commercial, school, institutional, or governmental environment, then the test period is restricted to no more than 30 days. 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 the giant electronic bulletin board systems that run FWKCS(TM). For example, if you want to find the .DOCs that go with a program, there's a good chance that Lookup and a call to one of those giant boards will 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 bulletin board system operator, Lookup helps you use tens of Gigabytes of collected files on giant boards to support your users's special requests. Your board'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're specially interested in. Then, if you run FWKCS(TM), you could become a preferred resource for that special area of work that you like. As a specialist in your own area, you can prepare automatic FWKCS cross references to help guide users in finding conceptually related files. ------------------------- To keep FWKCS.EXE relatively small, some help is provided via text files, FWKCS124.H0n, n = 0...5. FWKCS.EXE can search for them in the current directory and on your path. So, if you put FWKCS.EXE on your path, preferably keep these text files in the same directory with it. FWKCS brings up a list of commands for further help. The extended help (option /** ) uses FWKCS124.REF, which, for reasons of size, is not included in this kit. Note: FWKCS(TM) has many features not supported in this kit -- this kit is intentionally kept small to serve your special needs in using remote Lookup.
