1. For an example of how FCOM works, fire up the program by typing 2. FCOM at the Dos prompt. 3. -------Quick View Lines---------------------------- 4. Then select Output File from the Menu, and enter in a file name, such 5. as TEST.001 Then choose Select Files, scroll through the list, highlight the file TRYTHIS.TXT, and press F5, you will see the first 5 lines of this file. Tag a couple of the smaller files, TRYTHIS.TXT and WHATSUP.DOC, then press . Exit the program and use your favorite file viewer to view TEST.001 to see the results. This just gives you a quick example of the way FCOM works. I suggest you learn FCOM with unimportant files, especially learning the File Manager. That way, if you make a mistake, the loss will not cause your hair to come out in handfulls!!
