    Allfix told me to run fcomp.exe to create some file so it can list the
file areas I have.  I did that, but it did not create the file so I can't
use the program and I used to use it before my system went down.  The docs
don't provide any help on that subject.

    I don't have allfix doing anything with my files.  I only use it to
make an allfiles list and to do a scan to find files on other bbses around
town.
It's like the National FileFind echo, only it's local.
