Short: Small WB2 file recognition program. Uploader:ha09@andrew.cmu.edu Author:Frederick Potetz (No internet) FProcess 1.0 -------------- Copyright 1994 RG Industries Author: Frederick Potetz March 28, 1994 Requirements: AmigaDOS 2.04 or higher. Reqtools.library v38 or greater.. This is just a small program I wrote in-between work on my other programming projects. The coding took me ~2 hours and the debugging, error correction, and revision took ~10 hours more. FProcess is a small utility designed to identify files and run a prescribed process on them (ex. Feed FProcess a GIF file and it will run the viewer you selected in the prefs file on it.) FProcess can identify filetypes in one of three ways. 1: Initial ASCII code. Maximum of 20 characters. (ex. GIF87a would be used for GIF pictures.) 2: Initial ASCII code with wildcards. Max 20 characters. (? is a wildcard) (ex. ??????JFIF would be used for JPEG pictures.) 3: Filename extensions. Maximum 256 characters. (#+extension) (ex. #.MOD would catch any file ending in .MOD) FProcess can take an argument in a number of ways. FProcess will take a file as an argument through a shell (ex. FProcess or FProcess ? for a really short template). If called through WB or through CLI without an argument it will pull up a filerequester and can take either single or multiple files from it. This product is FreeWare. If you find a use for it, then use it with my blessing (just don't make a profit on it =). If you feel a need to give me something for my effort, then send me mail and tell me what you think.
