FLIES Utility

The FLIES utility allows to exploit the capabilities of the FLIES subprogram as a batch program by an easy-to-use command line or in the respective script languages/shells (BAT, BASH, PERL, JCL, …) of the various platforms. It represents the respective platform-dependent implementation of FLIES for processing complete files or streams in the form of a command parser needed for automating processes. This tool is used primarily for managing FLAM archives. FLIES is available as of version 5 and can be called by many commands (CHNG, FIND, COPY, ...) of the FLCL (Frankenstein-Limes Command Line).
