###    a simple listing script for associations on a win32 system
###    like assoc for win 2000/XP - there is now some limited support 
###    for changing extensions but it's buggy, due to the way windows 
+behaves
###    to third party changing of the associations - that's purely cos
+metic though
###    however there is no creating or deleting of extensions: 
###    I think this might be a bug in  the TieRegistry.pm because it d
+oesn't 
###    seem to be able to create or delete key 'default' values
###
###could be used on win 9.x or others without assoc
#since 0.1 added options and help and rewrote to make clearer (thanks 
+ikegami)
#but for some reason looking up a specific extension has been broken..
+. at a loss here...
#since: 0.2 fixed bugs - albiet a little sloppily turns out looking up
+ specific extension
#was just me using = instead of ==, *slaps forhead*
#since: 0.25 added functionality for changing (not deleting or creatin
+g) a single association
#and listing more than one extension, also a foil to bail when it trie
+s to be executed in a 
#non win32 enviroment
#since: 0.3 bugfixes, code cleanup (/F switch now applies to all outpu
+t) applied deletion and creation
#code according to TieRegistry documentation, doesn't seem to work tho
+ugh

Displays file extension associations

-to see particular extensions:
     ASSOC .ext1 .ext2 .ext3... [options]
  .ext  Specifies the file extension to display
  
-to see all file extensions:
     ASSOC [options]
    will show a list of all known file associations
    
-to change a single extension association (creating/destroying associa
+tions not yet supported):
    ASSOC .ext=filetype
    filetype specifies what identifier this extension will use in the 
+registry and the interface 

available options are:     (case sensitive) 
     /W - warn about extensions not assigned with a filetype
     /F - format output with padding

eg: assoc .htm .pl /F
might give you:
.htm \t = \t FireFoxHTML
.pl \t = \t Perl
