It's somewhere but it's easier to tell you than to find it.

On Linux
If you're in a GUI environment, open a Terminal window or otherwise start from the text window.
Change Directory to the place that FAH was installed. e.g.- if it's in ~./FAH, enter cd ~./FAH
Qfix and queue.dat should already be present in that directory. It's good to confirm that before proceeding with the ls command.
Run qfix and observe what the output says.

In Windows, it's exactly the same except the descriptions are different. The Terminal window is the CMD window. The directory name will be spelled differently but you still type it after the cd command (plus a space) to change to that directory. You still should have placed qfix.exe in the same place as queue.dat. The ls command is replaced by the dir command. You still have to run the qfix program in the text window, not by double-clicking it because the only way to read the output is in the CMD window. You must see the output from running the program because if you run it again, the fix has already been made.

On a Windows machine, I just made a desktop shortcut to qfix. I've had to use it a few times, and it's always worked fine- at least it looks like it from this end.

OBTW if qfix is NOT already present in your FAH directory (it wasn't in my Linux v6.02beta1), you can obtain the current version from: http://linuxminded.xs4all.nl/?target=so ... -tools.plc
