Introduction

	As time goes by, more and more Mainframe Systems are being down 
sized to run on PC's. One of the biggest setbacks is that the PC has many types 
of software which create different file formats, like lotus 123, Word for 
windows, PKZIP, etc. So your file may be saved in any one of hundreds of formats
and therefore, you might not know what software created it. The JSREC utility 
will simplify the task of determining which software package created your file.

	The JSREC program must be provided with a file name or  
   a directory name to govern its execution.

   For example:
	       JSREC C:\<FILENAME>                To get the file type 
						  for a single file.
	
	       JSREC C:\<DIRECTORYNAME>\*.*       To get the file type
	       JSREC C:\<DIRECTORYNAME>\*.DOC     for every file in a
						  directory.

 
   Option #1: Every time a file is identified, there will be a beep. To      
	      shut off the beep;  type: /nobeep after the command.

   For example:
	       JSREC C:\<DIRECTORYNAME>\*.DOC /NOBEEP


   Option #2: If JSREC cannot identify a file type, it will display
	      the file name without the type. If you do not want to
	      see the names of the files which JSREC could not 
	      identify, Then type: /know after the command.
	      
   For example:
	       JSREC C:\<DIRECTORYNAME>\*.DOC /KNOW

 
 Upgrades
	If you happen to find a file format which this program cannot identify, 
	please contact us so that we can modify the code to recognize that file 
	format. In return for your assistance in this matter, we may send you a 
	copy of the updated program for free.


Registration

  I will keep improving the program if I know enough people are
  finding it useful.

  My registration policy is very flexible. The nominal fee is $15 US
  If you don't feel you will get $15 worth of use out of JSREC, send
  whatever it is worth to you. If you are impoverished and can't
  afford to pay anything, enclose a stamped self-addressed envelope
  and I will send you a registration.

  This is not freeware or public domain. Shareware is simply a means
  of marketing commercial software. You are required to register if
  you intend to use this program after a reasonable trial period.

  When registering, please tell me the version number you have 
  and where you obtained your copy of JSREC.

  See REGISTER.TXT for details.

  JSREC should be registered for the maximum number of copies that
  can be used simultaneously at your site. Site fees for commercial
  users can be negotiated.

  If you register for the full $15 fee, and enclose a Shipping and
  Handling fee of $3 I will send you the latest versions of JSREC and
  Some Free Demo's.  if you decide to use it after a trial period. I will 
  also send other File related shareware programs.
