FCU Frequently asked questions

 

1. When I try to start FCU a popup message is displayed: "Unable to locate DLL". Is there anything wrong with my installation?

FCU was compiled with Visual C++ 6.0 and uses MFC. You need to install on your computer the MSVCRT.DLL and MFC42.DLL. Make sure you get the latest versions! I did not ship these DLL's with the FCU delivery to reduce the size of the download files. The DLL's are not part of the Windows 95/98/NT operating system. You can download the files from www.simtel.net.

2. The file compare works well but when I try to compare directories an empty list view is displayed.

In the View/Options dialog box there are check boxes for displaying the different files, left only, right only respective the identical files. Make sure you check all of them and try the compare file directory again. If the list view is still empty check if you have entered the right file mask in the compare directory dialog.

3. Is it possible to change the default hotkeys (Ctrl+R, Ctrl+L, etc.)?

No, currently it is not possible. But it is much more handy to use the 'Command mode'. Just press Ctrl+Q and try typing 'n' (for next), 'p' (for previous), 'r' (for insert right), 'l' (for insert left) etc.. For a complete description check out the help file. I'm planning to make the key mapping customizable.

4. I like the look and feel of FCU. Anyhow were can I send suggestions and how is it possible to get informed about new releases?
