I have my OS/2 environment set up and have begun making the changes needed to compile at least a version 6.1 to correspond to the DOS version that we have. Work has begun at least!!!

Some Good News: New Development
I have been in the process of getting all new development workstations setup and configured. I have setup a new internal git repository to start
keeping track of the code changes (have had a svn setup for a while without being touched in a long time) and I am working on getting a CI/CD
setup going to help with testing and getting it deployed to the websites, and via Fidonet. I have been able to get a generic compile of the DOS code,
and with setting up my old OS/2 system in Proxmox, I have been able to get a OS/2 version compiled. I will work on getting the updated OS/2 version online
that removes all of the registration only functionality. Some code has been converted into Freepascal, getting away from the Turbo Pascal (DOS) and Virtual Pascal (OS/2) compilers.
Stay Tuned for more as it progresses -
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 -

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) -
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.

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.
