     FILEPACK.EXE - The FILEPACK program is used to pack Iniquity's file        
                    description data file, and should be performed regularly,
                    as it can save you disk space and speed up the file
                    listing. As it packs the file descriptions, FILEPACK will
                    sort them depending on the order of the files in the
                    directory of the file area (which can be changed by
                    re-sorting the file areas).

                    note: Running this as a daily event is recommended strongly
                          if you have a busy file area.

     INIQLIB.EXE  - The INIQLIB program is used to create or modify the TEXT    
                    FILE LIBRARIES used by Iniquity. These libraries are a      
                    collection of several ANSI screens, including the wave,
                    and repeat screens, and when you have activated the option,     
                    Iniquity will look through the TOMES to find the necessary  
                    files. If Iniquity can not find the files in the TOMES,
                    then it will look for them in the TEXT DIR.

                    There are certain command line function's that you must be  
                    aware about when using this utility.

                    INIQLIB <FILENAME>.TFL <DIRNAME> -x|-r

                    FILENAME - is the name of the *.TFL TOME.
                    DIRNAME  - is the name of the directory where INIQLIB will  
                               look for when creating a TOME, or create the
                               files when extracting the files from the TOME.
                    -x       - is the command to invoke the extraction          
                               function.
                    -r       - is the command to invoke the renaming of the     
                               description and the author of the TOME.

                    example:   INIQLIB.EXE EX-IQ2.TFL C:\ANSI -x
                               INIQLIB.EXE MY-NEW.TFL C:\ANSI -r

     INIQMAIL.EXE - The INIQMAIL program is used to import and export all echo

                            extraction from the message packets.

                    -n    - This will process only netmail.

                            GECHO users should use this since that tosser
                            users 1.msg for info.
