VERSION:

Attention Filecure Customers:

Some Filecure customers have contacted me because Filecure apparently claims that the DataFlex programs on this web page will solve their problems.

The DataFlex tools on this web page are for professional DataFlex developers.

The DataFlex tools on this web page will not help you solve any known problem reported by Filecure.

I do not know why Filecure apparently says that these DataFlex programs will help.

I do not have anything that will help you and you will not be able to download a free version of DataFlex from this website.

Version examines all of the FLX files in the current directory and reports:

DataFlex version (2.1, 2.2, ... 3.2) of each FLX file
DataFlex serial number of the license that compiled the FLX file
DataFlex registration name of the license that compiled the FLX file
Automatic detection of Motorola-type FLX files
Automatic detection of FLX files in text mode

Version is an MS-Dos/Windows executable program. It is compatible with all versions of Windows when executed in a Dos Box (command prompt).

DFFIND:

Ever wonder where an FLX file was located, or why a particular FLX file was not being executed and another FLX file was being executed instead? Then you need DFFIND.

DFFIND is an MS-Dos program that lists the FLX files on the DataFlex dfpath environment variable. Similar to a 'whereis' type utility, DFFIND restricts its search to the directories defined in the dfpath. DFFIND is smart enough to search the directories in the same order that they are defined in the dfpath environment variable. It's also smart enough to know when it has already searched a particular directory, so it only lists a file one time for each unique occurrence on the hard drive or network. SUBSTituted or JOINed directories do not fool DFFIND. Naturally it understands indirect directory references (../../subdir) in dfpath too.

DFFIND understands wildcards but it defaults to displaying the *.FLX files throughout the entire dfpath.

Limitation: DFFIND doesn't know about dfenv.cfg yet.
