As (in my early stages of senior dimentia) I remember, all that's
needed to create a qualifier file is to create the files:

  keyQUALIFIER_NAME
  dataQUALIFIER_NAME

(owned bu the user "filepro") in the filePro File itself or in one of
that File's other lives (as pointed to by PFDSK).

Automatic Indexes for them could be handled by using 'dd' to copy the
first 140 bytes of "index.X"  to "indexQUALIFIER_NAME.X".

This, of course, doesn't modify "$PFDATA$PFDIR/filepro/$PFNAME/qualify",
but seems to work, ISFAIK, creating a useable "quailfy" file.

This evening, after my 2nd Martini, I looked in a filePro File in which
I had experimented with this some years ago, and it seems my recollection
is correct.

YMMV.
