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.
