Features:    (All are optional, you don't have to have them!)
~~~~~~~~~
* Extracts file_id.diz from LHA, LZH, LZX, DMS and ZIP archives
  (and you can add your own!! eg: ZOO, ARC, ARJ etc)

* Very Fast file list scroll, doesn't have to search for files in your
  chosen area like some program I know.

* Extraction of file_id.diz is optional in each area

* Multiline file descriptions (45 x 12 maximum, but you can set your own
  limit).

* RemoteAccess style tagging system (very quick)

* New files check for users is optional at every login

* External FileBase editor
  (makes use of the fantastic ReqTools.Library for File Requests,
  String Requests etc).

* Three external CHECKERS:
   * FileChecker - Checks for file existance and fixes filesizes.
   * FileDupCheck - Checks for duplicate files under different names.
   * LostFilesCheck - Check for files on HDD that arnt in the file list.

* External User editor (for editing Ratios/Limits etc)

* Logoff after downloading feature.

* File passwords (user may want to password protect an upload)

* Max of 500 File sections (leaves all 100 MAXS sections free for mail)
  If anyone needs more sections, then that can be arranged (a version
  with more sections would take more memory).

* Keeps record of top CPS rate for each baud rate

* Gives CPS report after download.

* Truncates annoying long file names when they are uploaded

* Notifies users of incomplete uploads

* Saves marked files even if user drops carrier (optional)

* User can tag/mark up to 100 files (not 30 like MAXs!)

* Option to have file areas in which files are free

* Option to add file descriptions to AmigaDOS filenote

* Option to have "Creditless" file areas (read docs for more info)

* Kilobyte Ratios (and/or Normal File-Ratios, and/or "Credit" system)

* Option to execute a command after uploading, this could be to add
  a BBS Advert into the archive or anything you want! This is of course
  optional in each area (you may want it for some areas and not for others
  or a different command to execute for a different section, anythings
  possible with FLE!)

* Upload Signatures (like on Ami-Express BBS Software)

* All of the normal list-files options:

	Sorted List		Reverse List
	Forward List		Newfiles List
        Search String           Pattern Match (EG:  ~(#?.GIF) etc)

* [V]iew Archive  <- this option appears while listing files!

* Option to change the View Archive command lines (you may want to add
  some extra archive types)

* [C]hange Order  <- this option also appears while listing files!
                     This can be useful when you missed a file and want
                     to go back up the list.

* FLE lets you set limits on file areas by the number of MEGS! 
  EG: You can set the Fun & Games area to a max of 50 meg and if it
  exceeds this, FLE will start deleting old files.

* All colors/text strings and ansi files are editable by the SysOp to
  make the whole system look how YOU WANT IT.

* And last, but not least, IT LOOKS BLOODY BRILLIANT :-)
			(call my bbs for a first hand look)

* Various other features but I can't be bothered updating this... :)


Extra Doors/Utilities Included:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 FLETextList		- Makes a ascii text file of your FLE filelist for
                          users to download in a chosen archive format
                          (txt, lha, zip... etc). The list is updated in 
			  real time (not once a day) and only areas the 
			  user has access to will be included. This door
			  can also create a Amiga Guide list (if the user
			  chooses that option).

 FLEFileGraph		- Simular to a program called "SectionSummary"
                          but this one is for FLE only and generates a
			  graph of the file sections (to see which section
			  has more files).

 FLETicAdder		- Adds inbound files to the real file list


 and Various others, look inside the archive...
