I've had this app for a while. In fact, this was one of the very first apps I built in Foxpro. I haven't posted it because I wanted to get it cleaned up and add in some of the new things I've learned.

It's basically a file sorting utility that takes files from a specified source directory and its subdirectories, and places them in the destination's subdirectories based on the file's extension.

It was originally designed to be used with Unreal Tournament. At lanparties it is quicker and easier to start a new match if everyone already has the files locally on their computers instead of having to download them from the game server when entering a new game. This utility makes it easy for everyone to get all the new maps/addons from a "lanparty" directory prior to starting the game.

The program can also be used for other occasions where files need to be organized in directories based on their extension. To know more, download the program and give it a try. It has the ability to create a test directory, so you can change the mappings to search for any file type and then place it in one of the test directory's subdirectory.
