Allfix™

  • What a couple of years

    I know it has been a horrible couple of years. I know many of us have lost family, friends and other loved ones, myself included. I have lost my mother, my aunt and a couple of friends making things difficult.

    Work has been extremely busy with all the unemployment keeping me working some 60+ hour weeks. And it looks like no end in sight.

    Just want everyone to know Allfix is still in the back of my mind, and it does get worked on when I do get time, which unfortunately is far and few in between things.

    Please stay safe, and let’s hope the end is in sight for everyone that this virus becomes less of a threat.

  • COVID-19

    Covid-19. What a pain this virus is. I hope that everyone is safe and doing their part to help this go away.

    I have had to put Allfix Coding on hold for this time, as I have increased to 70-90 hrs per week at work as I am considered an essential employee and have been having coding for all of the FPUC, PUA and extended benefits for everyone that has been laid off of work to be able to get paid. This has been a very hard time for everyone and I hope everyone can understand that. Will write back once things change, and we know where everything will be once things start to open up again and people can get back to their lives.

    Everyone BE SAFE, and STAY INDOORS

  • New ALLFIX.APP Website

    We registered the new domain name ALLFIX.APP for some of our new changes coming. This will be the primary home for ALLFIX going forward. Stay tuned for more exciting changes.

  • Allfix 6.1 (DOS)

    It’s here!! Allfix 6.1 for DOS!! This can be found in the download section. This should be considered beta software.

    Please send any issues to me via the ALLFIX_HELP fidonet area, or via netmail.

    Also, I have made sure all of the registration only features are enabled as registration should not be needed (It does still have the registration keys in the setup they are just ignored)

  • Fidonet Address Change

    My fidonet address has changed. I can now be reached at 1:218/720.

  • Quick Status Update!

    Work has got me busy again with some new projects, but I have been making headway on a Windows/Linux GUI version of ASetup. (I will get some screenshots and post what things are looking like.) This will be released for Version 7. The re-write has been moving along as well. Have removed the Email tossing functions, and just working on the File Tossing to get this back to the way it used to be. Code optimization to help with the speed of the tossing is also being created.

    I will also keep up with the changes in the ALLFIX_HELP area as well.

  • Windows Issues

    I have been reading about the issues that have been happening with the Version 6 of ALLFIX in Windows environments.

    We know that Version 5 appears to be working better than Version 6, so I will get a downgrade program written to allow the data to be downgraded. I have a key generating program that I need to test to see if it will in fact work for registrations. Will update with the results of this test.

    I will be providing a way for current Version 5 and 6 registration holders to receive a registration key going forward, so no one has to worry about that.

  • Downgrade Program

    I have uploaded a Downgrade program to convert the setup.fix file from Version 6.x back down to 5.13.

    I have tested this on my local system and it appears to work so far.

    This is a Windows executable and will not run in DOS.

    As always, please make a backup of all your files before running this! This will downgrade the SETUP.FIX file as it is the only file that changed between versions. All other data files should be the same between the two versions.

  • In dedication to the memory of Bob Seaborn

    It is with great sorrow that we say goodbye to one of our most favorite members. We wish to say goodbye to Bob Seaborn. He will be greatly missed.

  • Missing Index

    It has been brought up that the 6.0.22 release was missing the af_doc.idx file and documentation. The missing doc file has been placed online for downloading. This is the old documentation, as it is being re-written for the new version that is being worked on.

  • Documentation

    Documentation for v6 has now been placed online. They are still being updated for the new features in v6.00, but still give a good explanation on items.
