**********************************************************************
QuickFix is another of those tools for applying OS/2
fixpacks without obliging you to make a bunch of floppy
disks. It differs from other utilities of the genre in that it uses a diskette image extractor which does a CRC
verification before applying what could otherwise be
junk from a bad download to your perfectly-tuned and
functional OS/2 system.
QuickFix is not specific to any particular fixpack.
Improvements over version 1.0 include:
1. Some sanity checks on directory names.
2. Now works with OS/2 3.0 as well as 4.0.
3. Handles all known variants of the fixtools
distribution file name
(fixt*.exe, cs*.exe, cs*.dsk)
4. Much simpler user interface. Default values are
now presented in editable input fields.
Explanations are generally shorter.
5. Re-use of the archive directory is now allowed
(with appropriate warnings).
6. Detects artifacts from prior fixpack application
and (with user approval) can clean up by doing a
fake "commit".
