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 JS-REC utility
will simplify the task of determining which software package created your file.

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

For example:
JS-REC C:\ To get the file type
for a single file.

JS-REC C:\\*.* To get the file type
for every file in a
directory.

JS-REC C:\*.DOC D:\*.DOC To get the file type
for every DOC file in
drive C: and then
drive D:. This will not
look into subdirectory.

Option #1: JS-REC can search subdirectorys. By typing a -s on the
command line.

For example:
JS-REC -s C:\\*.DOC


Option #2: If JS-REC cannot identify a file type, it will not display
the file name. If you want to see the names of the files
which JS-REC could not identify,
Then type: -u

For example:
JS-REC -u C:\\*.DOC


Option #3: If JS-REC cannot identify a file type, it will not display
the file name. If you want to see the names of the files
which JS-REC could and could not identify,
Then type: -a

For example:
JS-REC -a C:\*.*



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 are listed
in the file REGISTER.TXT. If you don't feel you will get your money
worth of use out of JS-REC, send whatever it is worth to you.

If you are impoverished and can't afford to pay anything,
enclose a stamped self-addressed envelope

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.

JS-REC should be registered for the maximum number of copies that

users can be negotiated.

If you register for the full fee, and enclose a Shipping and
