K9XFetch v7.00  Dated Apr15,1988

Along with some minor changes and bug fixes,  this version  incorporates  a 
couple of new features.  

The command line switch to take you directly to the Utilities Menu has been 
changed from the exclamation point  (!) to the single left quote  (`). This 
change was made because I felt it was 'uncomfortable'  to  have  to  use  a 
shifted key input to perform this function...  Especially when you consider 
the addition of the option described in the next paragraph!  


The first addition is the option to include a Utilities Menu Command letter 
when starting up FETCH  with the   `   switch.

The inclusion  of  the single left quote  (FETCH `)  upon startup takes you 
directly to the Utilities Menu.  This version allows you to add  a  command 
letter to that command in the form: 

         FETCH `C   where  C  (either upper orlower case) is...  

                    C  -  Copy a File
                    D  -  Delete a File
                    F  -  Get Disk Free Space
                    I  -  Program Dedication
                    L  -  List/View an ARC File
                    M  -  Make an ARC File
                    R  -  Rename a File
                    P  -  Set/Reset Default Parameters
                    S  -  Shell to DOS
                    T  -  Test an ARC File
                    U  -  Unpack an ARC File
                    V  -  View a Text File
                    Z  -  Zippy ARC Listing Comparison

After  exectuion  of  the  optional  command,  FETCH will return you to the 
Utilties Menu and await your next input.  If no command letter is  included 
along  with  the  `  upon  startup,  Fetch  will  take  you directly to the 
Utilities Menu and await your input.  


The next item is the addition of the  Z)ippy ARC Listing Comparison  option 
to the Utilities Menu.  This command will first prompt you for two arc file 
names, and then perform a 'Side by Side' ARC File Member Listing of the two 
files.  As  before,  your  input to the two file names may include the full 
drive and path (in which case FETCH does not use the  drive\directory  name 
list)   or   an  input  of  just  a  filename  which  forces  the  use  the 
drive\directory name list.


In  ALL  instances  where  you  are working with or on files which normally 
contain the .ARC extension, FETCH will automatically add the .ARC extension 
to your input if you have not already done so.  


A  minor  bug in the Copy a File routine has been fixed.  Previous versions 
required that you input the target filename for  the  file  to  be  copied.  
Now,  if  no  target  filename  is  specified,  Fetch  will  use the source 
filename.  

Example:  You wish to copy the file  ABC.COM   from  C:\FETCH\  to drive A:
In This Version:
   If C:\FETCH is included in your drive\directory list your input
   to [d:\][path\] Source File name is                 ABC.COM
   If C:\FETCH is not included in your drive\directory list your input
   to [d:\][path\] Source File name is                 C:\FETCH\ABC.COM
                                       
   Your input to  [d:\][path\] Target File name is     A:

   If you wish to copy and change the filename to  CDE.COM  your input to
   [d:\][path\] Target File name would be              A:CDE.COM


The file finding feature has been included in all possible utility  command 
options.  Typically, when you are asked to input a file name,  Fetch checks 
for  a  specified  drive  in your input by looking for a colon (:) .  If no 
colon is present,  Fetch assumes that it must  seach  your  drive\directory 
list for the designated file.

Example:
     an input of   ABC.COM   forces the use of your drive\directory list to 
     find the file ABC.COM 

     an input of  C:\FOO\BAR\ABC.COM   supresses the drive\directory search
