- HISTORY
-
- FIXFILE started off as a simple hex dump program to look at a database
- I was writing. I soon found that I had to modify the database and I could
- either incorporate the ability to change the record pointers within the
- database or I could change the hex dump program into a file modification
- utility. Thus FIXFILE was born.
-
- Expanding on the idea of the hex dump program and adding new features as
- I needed them, FIXFILE grew into what you have now. I have spent well over
- 500 hours increasing its performance and multiplying its abilities. I also
- have had it tested to insure it meets up to the standards you would expect
- from quality software.
-
- As FIXFILE grew I started to compare it with other file modification
- programs and I found many limitations with the other programs. I felt the
- public needed something that was fast, reliable, and easy to use to modify
- their files. I feel this is the very best in file modification programs.
-
- Since FIXFILE has helped me a great deal I decided to make it available
- to those who would like it. I also feel FIXFILE can benefit everybody, so
- that's why I am offering it for only $10.00. This helps cover the cost of
- development, and the cost to test it professionally.
-
- The source code for FIXFILE, which was written in Turbo Pascal, is
- available for $30.00.
