This zipfile, FWKLU118.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.

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.
     FWKLU118.BLT this you can pass on to your BBS.
     GETLOOK.BAT  to access the remote lookup functions.
     FWKLU.118    used by GETLOOK.
     FWKLU_TM.118 used by GETLOOK.

Run GETLOOK to get:

     FWKCS.EXE    main program, in assembly_language.
     FWKCS118.H0n n=0...5, text help files callable by FWKCS.EXE
     LOOKUP.BAT   for preparing a small inquiry_file to send to BBS.
     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.

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.

-------------------------

As a BBS user, would you like to get the remote Lookup capability to help
you find files and avoid duplicate uploads?

Here's how: first do  PKUNZIP FWKLU118.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.

This remote Lookup capability provides a pair_wise statistical error rate
typically less than one part per trillion.

If you wish later to do a full FWKCS system installation, REGISTER.DOC
contains information about how to get the current release.
