QuickFix is another of those tools for applying OS/2 
fixpacks without obliging you to make a bunch of floppy 
disks.  It differs from other utilities of the genre in that it uses a diskette image extractor which does a CRC 
verification before applying what could otherwise be
junk from a bad download to your perfectly-tuned and 
functional OS/2 system.

QuickFix is not specific to any particular fixpack.

Improvements over version 1.0 include:

1.	Some sanity checks on directory names.

2.	Now works with OS/2 3.0 as well as 4.0.

3.	Handles all known variants of the fixtools 
        distribution file name
	(fixt*.exe, cs*.exe, cs*.dsk)

4.	Much simpler user interface.  Default values are 
        now presented in editable input fields.  
        Explanations are generally shorter.

5.	Re-use of the archive directory is now allowed 
        (with appropriate warnings).

6.	Detects artifacts from prior fixpack application 
        and (with user approval) can clean up by doing a 
        fake "commit".
