CFD - the Cascading File Type Demultiplexer
-------------------------------------------

run "CFD.EXE" with no arguements for usage instructions.

For background to Cascading File Types, see http://secretgeek.net/multiformats.asp

This is a 'proof of concept' file handler.

To use, first copy CFD.exe to somewhere on your local drive, and then run "CFD /I" to 
install. This will create an association between the .cfd file extension and the CFD.exe 
application.

Then when you double click a filename that ends in .cfd, the CFD.exe application will
run, parse the other file extensions in the filename and loads the application
installed on your local machine that can most specifically handle the file.

For example, if you double clicked on a file called "MyDocument.txt.xml.goober.cfd",
and you had also instralled an application called "GooberTron" which used the 
file extension ".goober", then "GooberTron" would get launched.

However if you did not have that application installed, but an XML editor was installed,
then the file would get launched in the XML editor (this assumes that GooberTron's file
format is an XML derivative).

If no XML editor is installed, then the file will open in Window's default text file handler,
which is usually "notepad".
