PIFInfo
Version 1.00
Copyright (c) 1991 David A. Feinleib
Introduction
PIFInfo was written to allow people to easily display the contents of
PIF files in a text format. Many times people want to tell others what
they have selected in a certain PIF file configuration but do not want to
type out all of the information they have entered. PIFInfo analizes
a PIF file that you select and creates another file, similar in format to
the screen layout of the PIF Editor, which says what options have been
selected in the PIF file This allows you to easily put up the contents of
a PIF file on a BBS or in a manual.
Below is an excerpt from some output that PIFInfo created.
