This is a utility file to delete facsimile files created by the CompleteFax
Board or similar boards using file names with numerical extensions. Files
are deleted based on age in the range of 1-30 days. Particularly useful to
prevent filling up a hard disk while still preserving files for possible
reuse. Zip file includes executable file and documentation. Written in
Pascal.

This file describes the alignment
problems common to 1541's. The align-
ment procedure described should NOT be
attempted by someone that does not have
either the proper fix-it skills or
attitude.
The early 1541's (white cased) also
have a heat-related alignment problem.
If the drive is on for a few hours,
heat buildup inside affects the thin
metal drive band that moves the r/w
head. If you have problems saving or
reading a file on a disk that was
written to during a recent session,
then this is probably the cause.
Either shut your 1541 off when not
using it, or place a very low CFM fan
to blow air through the drive (you
should filter the air going through the
drive, but if air enters from the top,
and it is moving slow, dust will
settle on the board before getting in
the drive machanism.
The other alignment problem comes from
extensive NEWing of disks, or from the
errors generated by copy-protected
software. The alignment slowly changes
due to wear.
The following process describes how
to align your 1541 using the TEST/
DEMO disk shipped with the drive:
Enter the following prg & save it-
100 OPEN1,8,15:OPEN4,8,4,"#"
110 FT=1:FT$=STR$(1):LT=35
120 LT$=STR$(LT)
130 PRINT#1,"U1:";4;0;LT;0
140 T$=LT$:GOSUB500
150 PRINT#1,"U1:";4;0;FT;0
160 T$=FT$:GOSUB500
170 LT=LT-1:IFLT>0THEN120
180 CLOSE4:CLOSE1:END
500 PRINT"READING TRACK:";T$
510 INPUT#1,EN,EM$,ET,ES
520 PRINTTAB(12)EN;EM$;ET;ES
530 IFEN<2 THEN RETURN
540 PRINT:PRINT"DRIVE HAS FAILED"
550 GOTO 180
(The above routine has been extracted
from a 1541 test by Steven Niers)
Once you have the above prg saved on
a disk and ready to run in memory,
unplug the 41, remove the cover (four
screws on bottom), and remove the
metal shield covering the circuit
board. Next, remove the circuit board
leaving all wires and cables attached
(be careful of the small cable from
the read/write heads). Set the board
over to the LEFT side of the drive,
placing cardboard between it and the
metal frame of the drive - MAKE SURE
NO part of the circuit board touches
any metal parts of the drive!
Look at the drive itself - There are
two metal pulleys, with a thin metal
drive band around them. This is the
drive mechanism for the read/write
heads. The rear pulley is the one
drvien by the motor. You'll see two
fat metal 'pegs' or bumps on top of
it with a metal 'stop' protruding
