the stupidly, non-intuitive way to run blobfix on a qualified file is:
blobfix - -m qualifier_name
select the filepro filename from the list of filepro files that comes up.

blobfix is very unrefined - it does not take any other command line arguments
that i'm aware of - not even filepro-file-name - the only argument that
seems to work is -m 
-md and -mq do not work, PFQUAL and PFNAME do not work either.

i don't think blobfix was intended for release originally so not much 
was put into it.  maybe if you complain or bug-report this to fp-tech
it would get a higher priority to be made to work like all other fp
programs.
