- Everything you always wanted to put in an environment variable but
- were afraid to ask DOS for...
-
- XSET: The easy way to write efficient batch files.
-
- XSET allows you to put EVERYTHING you want in a variable of the
- current DOS environment and use it as if you assigned it the value
- with the standard DOS command 'SET'. You will be able to write very
- efficient batch files including string manipulation, calculation,...
-
- XSET is the most powerful environment variables manipulation
- program you ever saw. It also has a very easy and intuitive user
- interface (very close to the DOS 'SET' command). It is not a resident
- program; it so cannot interfere with any of your other applications.
-
- XSET is fully compatible with MS-DOS (from 3.30), DR-DOS, NDOS & 4DOS.
-
-
- XSET has seven major features:
- ═════════════════════════════
-
- - XSET permits to catch the output of any command (internal or
- external) or program and put it into an environment variable.
-
- - XSET has several built-in commands to modify the output of a
- program or a string given on the command-line (extract a part of a
- string,...)
-
- - XSET has a built-in full floating-point calculation functionality:
- You can program incremental loops, input a calculation string and
- output the resulting number,...
-
- - XSET can manage variable contents of more than 128 characters (your
- path can now be as long as you want)
-
- - XSET has some other built-in commands to give you access to some
- system data (date, time, ...)
-
- - XSET has built-in commands to clear all environment or restore a
- previously saved one.
-
- - XSET gives you access to high-level user interface input/output
- (line-editing, colors, windows, boxes,...).
-
-
- More than 60 commands to do all what you need.
-
-
-
- Remark: latest version of XSET is always available
- at SIMTEL-20 pd1:<msdos.batutl>xsetXXX.zip
- or at garbo.uwasa.fi:/pc/envutil/xsetXXX.zip
-
- (current version is 3.50)
