   Requirements: AmigaDOS 2.04 or higher.
                 Reqtools.library v38 or greater..

   This is just a small program I wrote in-between work on my other 
programming projects. The coding took me ~2 hours and the debugging, error
correction, and revision took ~10 hours more.
   
   FProcess is a small utility designed to identify files and run a 
prescribed process on them (ex. Feed FProcess a GIF file and it will run the
viewer you selected in the prefs file on it.) FProcess can identify filetypes
in one of three ways. 

   1: Initial ASCII code. Maximum of 20 characters.
      (ex. GIF87a would be used for GIF pictures.)

   2: Initial ASCII code with wildcards. Max 20 characters. (? is a wildcard)
      (ex. ??????JFIF would be used for JPEG pictures.)

   3: Filename extensions. Maximum 256 characters. (#+extension)
      (ex. #.MOD would catch any file ending in .MOD)

   FProcess can take an argument in a number of ways. FProcess will take a
file as an argument through a shell (ex. FProcess <file> or FProcess ? for 
a really short template). If called through WB or through CLI without an 
argument it will pull up a filerequester and can take either single or
multiple files from it.

   This product is FreeWare. If you find a use for it, then use it with my 
blessing (just don't make a profit on it =). If you feel a need to give me
something for my effort, then send me mail and tell me what you think.
