The tool must be run from a DOS prompt and is configured via commandline options.
It's not an easy tool to use becuase it does not have a UI.
It was developed for my own use with the option to share it with other Pro/E users.
If you're keen on automating Pro/E tasks this is one of the many tools which can help you with it.
The program creates a Pro/E trailfile which performs specified actions on the objects found.
It has been used with R2001 for a long time and is now being used with Wildfire 2.0.
