Announcing Fairlight fpgsr
==========================

The Fairlight fpgsr utility is a global search-and-replace tool meant to
work specifically with filePro processing tables.  Have you ever needed or
wanted to replace a string in every processing table at once?  Do you have
dozens, or even hundreds of processing tables to potentially apply changes
to?  Have you ever undertaken such a task before and forgotten a table
here, a table there, or missed a critical line in one or five tables?

No more pain!  This utility will do a global search and replace on the
original string, replacing it with the substitution string.  What's more,
it will make backups of every table it alters, log every change it makes to
a single logfile, skip altering binary (encoded/encrypted) processing
tables on its own, and make sure the file ownerships are preserved.

PLEASE NOTE:  If your processing tables are not saved with ABE=ASCII in
your environment (read: if your processing tables are saved in the
encrypted format), this program will not work for you.  It is impossible to
decrypt the table format externally from outside filePro.  This utility
skips tables which are saved in binary, and reports which tables were
skipped for that reason.  It will only perform substitutions on tables
which are saved in ASCII format.

This utility, which can save you hours (or even days or weeks) of time
otherwise spend hand-editing your processing tables to make changes, is
available for the reasonable cost of $99.00 (USD) per copy.
