+========================================================+
| Now available:  APFTools version 3.01 by Reid Drummond |
+========================================================+
APFTools is a frequency data extractor for text files, (random, chaotic, or 
organized) that contain listings of frequencies. Such text files can be 
e-mail, newsgroup posts, forum messages and posts, and even BBS/Internet 
files where people compose and upload lists of their favorite frequencies.
Text lists are fine so long as you're the pencil & paper type of data user, 
but what if you use spreadsheets or database managers to store and track vast 
holdings of frequencies?  If you work in the modern ages, then you'll know 
it's not a lot of fun to manually extract frequency lists for your databases.
APFTools makes quick work of extracting frequency information from text 
files, even if there is no sense and order to the lists.  APFTools pulls 
frequencies and related ID information out of the mumbo-jumbo text file and 
creates any of several types of compatible output files, ready for import by 
spreadsheet or database manager programs.
APFTools also creates AuotProgrammer (*.APF) files for the HB-232 and CE-232 
Scanner/Computer Interface in the twinkling of an eye. Gone are the days of 
manual labor in editing text files to the comma-delimited ASCII format needed 
by the CE-232.  Just feed APFTools a list of frequencies in any order, and 
out comes the *.APF file ready to go into the CE-232.
Even if you don't have a CE-232, APFTools could be down your alley since it 
creates output files that are recognized by most spreadsheets and database 
manager programs.
APFTools is shareware (try before you buy), the cost of which is a  paltry $5 
to Mr. Drummond, the author, if you keep using the program  after the trial 
period.

If you can't obtain APFTools by any other means, I can mail it to you on 
5.25" disk for $8, $5 of which goes to Mr. Reid Drummond as pre-registration 
for the program, and $3 to cover the cost of the disk, mailer, postage, and 
handling. It is strongly suggested that you should exhaust all other 
possibilities before ordering the disk, which is offered as a public service 
- not as a profit enterprise.
