	USAGE

The tools are very self explaining and can be started from shell or
workbench. You can also select their icons together with other
files or directorys to process. In the shell the "?" argument prints
out some info for xfrlibinfo, /scan and /list. At xfrlibinfo you do
not need to use -> " <-. The xfremove does not have any parameters.
It frees the library and all clients from memory when idle (so you
do not need to reboot after changing the client files, just type
xfremove and load again whichever XFR-prog youd like).

The scanning, listing and libinfo text output can be canceled with
CTRL+C.

There is a general XFR difference in scanning and listing file and
data recognition, so some data can be ripped out of files, but not
properly listed as a stand alone files. Hope for future improvements
or re/write a client yourself. And last but not least XFR is rather
a ripper than a file/ or datatype recognition tool.

I recommend to deactive the player genie if you only want to listen to
music. You would do yourself a great favor.

Advanced options for xfrscan are (see "xfrscan ?" for beginner):

TO <directory>			save files, default is verbose only
EXCLUDE <filenamepattern>	do not scan these files, e.g. #?.info
DISK <drivenumber>		select floppy drive 0 to 3 to read a
				whole disk for input to scan it; please
				do not use this (use xad) to load disk
				that are amiga dos formated or do contain
				an os filesystem directory. such may
				producevery false results, though for
				bootgirl bootblock pictures its ok--)
CHIP				scan the entire local chipmem area
				(starting at $0)
FAST				scan the fastmem area(s)
RAM or MEMORY			scan all ram area(s) together
				(you may also use CHIP and FAST combined)
DEEP				scan in deep mode
HYBRID				scan in normal and deep mode combined
ODD				scan odd addresses, e.g. you have
				cut a decrunched demo in a texteditor
				at a byte offset (needs 68020+ CPU or
				emulation of such)
PCSTYLENAMES			per default names are f.e. mod.amegas,
				with this opt. the will be amegas.mod
COMPACT				no blank lines in text output
OVERWRITE			default is adding numbers to filenames
				that exist when saving

Option for xfrlist:

BROMBEERE			list with sample names and sizes
TEXT				do not list sizes in BORMBEERE mode but
				only the sample names as one text

Please write me if you found the overwrite option usefull. I doubt.
