15JUN07 - FR.EXE - Text Find and Replace Utility - v1.21
===========================================================================
FR.EXE is a Windows' Console program designed to simplify "find and
replace" text changes in sets of Visual Studio Project files, other files
organised into directory trees, or just single files.
FR is primarily designed for programmers - who want to change class,
function or identity names in multiple source files; and web designers - so
that they can automate changes to the many files comprising large websites.

* include subdirectories in the search,
* use @File lists containing multiple find/replace pairs,
