Brief descriptions and reviews of new files added to the system during
February, 1987:
[03-01-87]
PUSHPATH.ARC 4712 03-01-87 Push/pop path -- like push/pop dir w/ASM
U/L and written by David Seidman. "Purpose: To allow saving the current
path to a stack-like file and then resetting the path to the last entry in
the stack." As David points out in the excellent doc, there's a way to
accomplish a similar result using the %PATH% variable in a BATch file (or a
PCED synonym), but this program provides an easy way to temporarily change
your path, and the ASM source is worth a look.
NSWPPC18.ARC 43504 03-01-87 D. Rand's NSWP (sweep) util for DOS v1.018
This is still very much a work in progress and you may want to pass it by
for now. But, for those of us with our heritage in CP/M where Dave Rand's
NSWP program was THE indispensable sweep utility, it's a pleasure to see
that he is in the process of porting it to DOS. No fancy windows here or
other cosmetic embellishments. The strength of this program is the ability
to "tag" a group of files and then perform a copy, erase, etc. on the
tagged group. The feature that is unique to this DOS version is its
handling of archives. You can "zoom" in on an arc file, which immediately
displays it members. At that point, one or more of the files can be
extracted or printed. Adding to the arc is not yet supported; for
extraction, "squashed" files a la PKARC 2.0 are already handled and the
speed is quite good. The documentation, in WordStar format, is from the
old CP/M version. Beyond that, there are some update notes that give you
some idea of the new features, but some trial-and-error will be in order.
However, for those already familiar with the CP/M version, this will be
like having an old friend back again. [Note: There was an invalid copy of
this archive on the system earlier today. This copy is fine.]

Brief descriptions and reviews of new files added to the system during
February, 1987:
REVIEW2.ARC 82112 03-01-87 Employee Performance Evaluation Version 2.0
U/L and written by Ralph Iskaros. Rates an employee based on such
attributes as quality and quantity of performance, attendance and
"housekeeping" (whether the employee is well-organized and concerned about
the neatness and cleanliness of equipment and supplies). That last one
caused the program to recommend that I be fired, so it's hard for me to
review this one objectively (grin?).
INT16H.ARC 3275 03-01-87 Sample Turbo Pascal Interrupt Filter routine
U/L by Philip Stults. Written by Tim Weiss of ArcView fame (a PCBoard
door), the code presents an example of how to lay down an Interrupt Filter
in Turbo Pascal.
[02-28-87]
PROMPT30.ARC 3303 02-28-87 Sample PROMPT batch files with good doc 12/86
U/L and written by Francois Brenot. Some nicely done sample PROMPT batch
files and a very good doc file.
2400INIT.ARC 1853 02-28-87 Initialize Hayes 2400 for COM1 or COM2/BAS
U/L by Bob Flores. Supposed to initialize a Hayes 2400 for RBBS or PCBoard
(but I'd stick with Fred Clark's PCBMODEM program for the latter).
W4-12.ARC 46995 02-28-87 W-4 worksheet helper/R.Stanley/EXE only 011987
U/L by Jack Robson. Beats me. This one was a different size than W4-11
but they both internally contained the 1/19/87 date. As there's no doc
anyway (and as the IRS is due to announce a new W4 any day/real soon now)
...
COPYSAFE.ARC 10632 02-28-87 Warns if copy will overwrite file, TSR w/ASM
U/L by Philip Stults. From PC Mag, a mem-res thingie that warns you if a
COPY will overwrite an existing file.
PCBFIL29.ARC 74013 02-28-87 PCBoard Dir Maintenance/ PCB 10&11 / v2.9
U/L and written by John Wulff. A couple of minor bug fixes and a change to
accomodate the new PCBOARD.DAT file that will be in PCBoard 11.8 (not yet
released). PCB 11.7 is still supported, as is PCBoard 10. As I've said
before, I couldn't run this system without John's excellent program.
Possible conflict of interest disclosure: This system is one of the beta
sites for PCBFile.
PDTAR.ARC 47062 02-28-87 PD version of Unix 'tar' (tape archive) prgm
A re-write of the Unix 'tar' program with some claimed improvements. Good
notes included on how to port it to various flavors of Unix. 10/29/86.

Brief descriptions and reviews of new files added to the system during
February, 1987:
WALLYBIL.ARC 41307 02-27-87 Maintains Shared Expenses Among Roommates
U/L and written by Mark Findlay. Keeps track of expenses so you can figure
out who owes whom what when roommates (etc. -- ahem) are sharing the tab
for living expenses. Supports up to 10 users per file and up to 10 user
files.
APPLY.ARC 21018 02-27-87 Apply command w/wild cards or to subdirs/C src
U/L and written by Mike Rubenstein. The archive actually contains 2
programs, both excellent. The first, APPLY, executes a command for each of
a set of arguments. The typical use for this would be to pass to a DOS
command wildcard file specs when the command ordinarily wouldn't take
wildcards (e.g. the DOS TYPE command). But, the program has a great many
more sophisticated uses that are detailed in the excellent doc file. The
second program, XAPPLY, is a natural complement and adds the capability to
have a command executed throughout a subdirectory tree (similar to other
programs on this system). Both programs come with complete C (Aztec)
source.
PCMAG_V1.ARC 73184 02-27-87 PC Mag Utility Disk Vol. 1 w/user manual
U/L by Steve Sanders. Quite a few of these programs from PC Mag are (or
were) elsewhere on the system, but here they all are collected together
with one doc file covering them all. Source for the programs not included.
DL1B.ARC 21647 02-27-87 Dirk Lesko's Clipper (Aut '86) LIB v1b
U/L by Eric Rosner. A collection of functions for the Autumn '86 version
of Clipper.
HPSTUFF.ARC 30770 02-27-87 HPLaserJet/PC Paintbrush + xfer util & filter
U/L and written by Rip Toren. Contains: HPFILTER, a TSR to produce line
drawing characters on a HP LJ without any FONT cartridges; HPXFER, a
program that will send part of any ascii file to the printer; and CPAINT,
which will read a PC Paintbrush file and convert if for LJ use (in
conjunction with the other 2 utils here).
ANSI-RIP.ARC 2285 02-27-87 Remove ANSI codes from text files/BAS/DOC 1/87
U/L by Andree Filipov. A BASIC program to strip ANSI escape sequences from
a file.
BARMENU.ARC 3258 02-27-87 LOTUS-like BAR menus for QuickBasic 2.0
U/L by Bill Wood.
PCTJ0187.ARC 34502 02-27-87 IBM PC Tech Journal routines - Jan 87

Brief descriptions and reviews of new files added to the system during
February, 1987:
QBDATES.ARC 9530 02-27-87 ASM Date conv routines for QuickBasic 2.0
U/L by Bill Wood. Contains 2 assembler routines: DATE2INT - Validate &
convert a string date to a sequential integer; INT2DATE - Convert a
sequential integer back to a string date.
VI.ARC 21839 02-27-87 UNIX-like VI-editor for DOS/COM only 3.1p 9/86
U/L by Bill Wood. A subset of the Unix text editor with no doc file, so it
assumes you know 'vi.' Even then you'll have to do some trial and error to
figure out what commands are supported. God knows why you'd want to use
this unless your use of 'vi' is so frequent it has become second nature --
there are much better programmer's editors than this for DOS.
CDISK326.ARC 105645 02-27-87 CATDISK v3.26 disk catalog system/Hillier
U/L by John Jenkins. Use the DOOR to read CATDISK.HST for the update notes
-- there are just too many changes to list here, mostly in the nature of
bug fixes. Major changes are support for archives with "squash"ed files
and the elimination of 2 separate programs for different size catalogs --
you now allocate sufficient memory via the configuration program. A very
good disk catalog program that handles both libraries and archives and has
decent reporting capabilities and good speed.
ODASST2A.ARC 154154 02-27-87 Organization Diagnosis Expert System 2.0 1of3
ODASST2B.ARC 76774 02-27-87 Organization Diagnosis Expert System 2.0 2of3
ODASST2C.ARC 18611 02-27-87 Organization Diagnosis Expert System 2.0 3of3
U/L by David Geerinck. I guess I need to go back and get another degree of
some kind or other as I can barely make out from the doc what this program
is supposed to do. The doc poses the question "What is Organization
Diagnosis" and says: "To put it simply [sic], it is finding out what
aspects or dimensions of an organization can be changed to improve its
effectivity or productivity." Ah, now I've got it -- well, no, maybe not.
Anyway, if you can get past the jargon, the program looks professionally
implemented. Version 2.0 claims to be much faster than version 1 which was
on this system and to add a few "minor enhancements" (which I would
describe if I understood them). Sorry, folks -- I just can't review this
one. Is there an Organizational Diagnostician in the house?
TELIX212.ARC 173176 02-27-87 Telix v2.12 2/24/87: Small, fast, capable
02-27-87 comm program; new comm routines, multi-task OK
U/L by Jack Kilday, who reports that this version works under DoubleDOS,
whereas version 2.10 did not. Colin's update notes mention only that the
communications driver in 2.10 did not work in about 5% of the machines
encountered and that is what he fixed (plus a "few" other reported bugs,
with no more detail than that). Thus, if it works under DDOS now, I guess
that's a happy accident. Note: Under some multi-taskers, you'll still need
to configure Telix for BIOS screen write mode to prevent bleed through.

TBREM.ARC 6639 02-27-87 Trailing blank remover w/Fortran source
U/L by Bob Thrun.
[02-26-87]
SD54.ARC 31872 02-26-87 Sorted dir v5.4/color, fast, EGA/J.Stetson
U/L by Stan Levine. A "major rewrite" of Stetson's excellent sorted dir
program, v5.4 (2/1/87) has many new command lines options and support for
the 43 line mode of the EGA. On-line help is now available when you give
the command SD /? and you'll need it -- the number of command line options
can be a bit overwhelming. However, there's an excellent doc file and this
is a very capable program with some unique options. This ARC contains the
IBM-PC version only. There are also versions for the Zenith Z-100 and
"generic" MS-DOS systems but those are not included here.
WORDWORK.ARC 518374 02-26-87 Word Worker: New Testament dbms v1.00a 3/86
U/L by David Geerinck. I should have used this program to figure out which
of the 10 commandments I violated with the blasphemy I committed when I
first saw this one on the upload dir. Holy *&^%, this one is large! And,
would you believe, this >500K arc has a less than 2K README file that
constitutes its only documentation (unless you register), although there is
some on-line help. Anyway, here it is folks, "WORDWORKER: THE ACCELERATED
NEW TESTAMENT." I hope God has blessed any of you who want this file with a
2400 baud modem as it's just too large to download at any slower speed (and
even at 2400 you're going to be in trouble if you have only the default
time allocation on this system). So, if time allows and this interests
you, pray for a clean line and go to it. This one is going to electronic
heaven soon so grab it if you want it -- I just can't afford 1/2 meg on
this system for a file as specialized as this.
RANBO.ARC 35470 02-26-87 Set colors in Qbasic/Bascom v2

author has been excellent about that in the past).

EMAIL100.ARC 118792 02-25-87 Electronic Mail System 1.0.0 Craig Shallahamer
U/L by Ken Brown. An electronic-mail only BBS system (no file transfers).
The claim to fame is that messages can be sent to all employees in a
department, locatiion, etc. based on an employee numbering scheme that
is used when you add each new user to the user's file. A shareware program
where updates and the Turbo Pascal source will only be sent to registered
users.
ASC2WORD.ARC 10724 02-25-87 Converts ASCII Text to Microsoft Word
U/L by Ronald Schwartz.
OWNER151.ARC 11411 02-25-87 Identify file owning cluster ver 1.51
U/L by Mike Miller. OWNER is a wonderful little program that tells you
what file owns a cluster on your disk that you specify. This is version
1.51 with no indication as to what changed since 1.50, so I assume it's a
minor bug fix. 1/14/87 version, with complete ASM source.
BW-ONLY.ARC 2975 02-25-87 Run color pgms on your mono monitor
U/L by Mike Miller.
TPTOOLS1.ARC 21889 02-25-87 T-PASCAL tools found useful by Bill Madison
U/L and mostly written by Bill Madison. A collection of Turbo Pascal
routines written by Bill Madison, author of STORM 3.10 and BPRINT.
MH022187.ARC 143933 02-25-87 Don Mankin's MiniHost BBS system 02/21/87
U/L by Joseph Collins. Check MINIHOST.NEW via the DOOR to see what little
critters have been fixed in this version.
[02-24-87]
MOVIEDB.ARC 137918 02-24-87 VCR moviese database & simple lookup '85
U/L by Mike Rubenstein. Edition 1, 4/14/85, of a database containing info
on nearly 2000 movies, with fairly simple lookup procedures. So, VCR
freaks ....
GTLOG62.ARC 91124 02-24-87 GT Power Comm utl v6.2, James Davis
U/L by Loren Olson. A companion program to GT Power Comm with some powerful
logging and reporting features.
EDWIN15C.ARC 112915 02-24-87 Kokkonen's Fast WS-like editor v1.5C/Excellent
U/L by Bill Walsh. Alas, no update notes to describe how this version
differs from 1.5B. EDWIN is an excellent text/programmer's editor with
some rudimentary word processing features thrown in for good measure.
LCBIOS1.ARC 32483 02-24-87 Lattice "C" BIOS functions w/ASM source

ARC520.COM 55296 02-24-87 SEA's ARC util 5.20/very efficient but SLOW
U/L by Jeff Corey. A self-extracting archive that, when run, will give you
ARC 5.20, a doc file and a copy of Vern Buerg's ARCE (no different than the
ARCE already on this system but without the doc file). ARC 5.2 is dated
10/86 but Thom Henderson has apparently been sitting on this one --- it was
just released. I hate to say it but Thom should have continued to sit on
it. Although the compression efficiency of the program has been improved
dramatically (done by improving the "crunch"ing of files), the speed is
still awful when compared to either Vern Buerg's or Phil Katz's arc utils.
I can't imagine why you'd want to use this one instead.
[02-23-87]
UFASTWR.ARC 25858 02-23-87 Fast Turbo Pas Screen Writes (Graph/Windows)
U/L by Chuck Cooper.
THREECOM.ARC 5101 02-23-87 FASTOFF, FFEED, NOREPEAT/PC Mag/ASM/COM
U/L by Dean Wood.
LQFONT.ARC 132837 02-23-87 Font editor/loader for Epson LQ printers
U/L by Tom Frank. A character editor, a program to upload fonts to the
Epson LQ series of printers, and 7 sample fonts. CGA required.
HDTABL.ARC 12933 02-23-87 Print HD config table from controller ROM
U/L by Tom Frank. Claims to read the BIOS ROM on your hard disk controller
and display info about the hard disk parameters that are supported. It
didn't produce sensible results on the one machine I used it on, but that
one does have a weird controller.
DEXPERT.ARC 12078 02-23-87 "Expert" system simulation in dBaseIII+
U/L by Booby Mangoba. " This little system is one that can multiply like
rabbits and, if used to its greatest capacity, can have amazing power. It
is simply a way of creating a dBASE III Plus database file for storing
texts which can be used as training manuals or as an "expert" system for
problem solving and general reference."
SCANCODE.ARC 6567 02-23-87 Scan code for keyboard entry (with c source)
U/L by Bobby Mangoba.
GENCVT.ARC 83027 02-23-87 Convrt Genifer code for Clipper/BAS/EXE/DOC
U/L by Bobby Mangoba. Takes the code from Genifer (a dBaseIII applications
generator) and converts it so that it may be compiled under Clipper.

GT1200-1.ARC 129104 02-23-87 \ Paul Meiners' GT PowerComm v12.00
GT1200-2.ARC 125688 02-23-87 / Versatile, frequently revised, comm prgm
U/L by Mike Focke. The major change in this version of GT is a much
expanded host mode, complete with a message system. Indeed, Paul Meiners
seems on the verge of turning this program into a BBS system. Check the
READ.ME file for more details and other update info. NOTE: GT1200-3.ARC
was uploaded, but contained DSZ and PCKERMIT. As both of those programs
were already on the system (indeed, a newer version of PCKERMIT is here)
and as DSZ is updated VERY frequently, I've erased the 3rd archive and
suggest you look on the dirs for the current versions of the file transfer
modules themselves.
[02-22-87]
GUDLUK40.ARC 77344 02-22-87 Side-by-side file view/compare/4.0 EGA support
U/L and written by John Dove. 2/16/87 version of John's excellent multiple
file view-and-compare program, the major change is support for the various
modes of an EGA. Drat! No EGA here. 43 line mode is a very sensible
addition to this program as it will allow you to view more of the text from
the 2 files you are comparing.
WATE.ARC 15699 02-22-87 ASM routines from Waite Gp Primer-page 1-305
U/L by Joe Markovich. " These programs were typed from "The Waite Group
ASSEMBLY LANGUAGE PRIMER for the IBM PC & XT" by Robert Laflore. Included
are the programs up to and including page 305."
DB504.ARC 49152 02-22-87 Mailing list database, fix probs from DB503
U/L and written by Steve Sanders. The use of EXE2COM to convert one of the
programs in v5.03 to a COM file apparently led to some problems, so Steve
has sent along this update which is EXE's only.
BASAID50.ARC 112367 02-22-87 BasicAid v5.0, BASIC pgmmrs toolkit, 02/21/87
U/L by Bob Weinstein. A major update to a venerable tool for BASIC
programmers, alas this version is now somewhat crippled to encourage
registration. There is a limit on the number of references that the
program can maintain (supposedly, any "small-to-medium" sized programs can
be handled, whatever that means), the xref disk file option is disabled,
and "protected" basic programs can't be processed. In addition to being
crippled, here are the other changes: "BASICAID has been rewritten in
QUICK BASIC 2.00. To support both monochrome and CGA monitors, the user
interface has been changed to use an enhanced version of BASWIND window
routines. These WINDOW routines hopefully provide a common interface
across monitor types. BASICAID takes advantage of pop up, pop over, pop
list and general window type formats. The QUICK BASIC screen format has
been followed."

U/L and written by David Ziegler.
XEQ.ARC 5431 02-22-87 COM file library & executor/Saves HD space
U/L by Jack Kilday. Got lots of little COM files cluttering up your disk?
Well, you can collect them "inside" of XEQ and then execute them with the
command XEQ COMMAND. Cute. Maybe even useful!
SHERIFF.ARC 63478 02-22-87 Hard drive and applications security system
U/L by Chip Whiteside. This looks to be a pretty good hard disk and
applications security system (password based) but I lost interest early
when the doc told me that the program needed to keep folks from breaking
out of your AUTOEXEC file and thus by-passing the system was only sent to
registered users.
FBUCK316.ARC 172409 02-22-87 FastBucks Ver. 3.16 Home Finance Program
U/L by Larry Bevil. Two new utilities are included with this version of
"Fast Bucks," yet another, good, checkbook program: A mouse driver for the
MS mouse; and a program to rebuild and re-index damaged data files.
[02-21-87]
FILLFLOP.ARC 14098 02-21-87 Optimize floppy usage, copy frm HD, w/C src
U/L by Jack Kilday. By Dave Rand, an interesting effort to try to minimize
the amount of space you waste when copying files from one device to
another. Typically, this would involve copying files from a hard disk to a
floppy where the files you want to copy are too big for one floppy. FILL
attempts to get as many files as it can on each floppy before prompting you
to insert a new one. I've seen a couple of reports of incompatibility with
some clones -- no problems here.

FILSCRUB.ARC 18786 02-20-87 Table driven search & replace util v1.0
"FILSCRUB is a table driven search and replace utility. You make up a
table of text or characters to search for and what to replace those
characters with. FILSCRUB will look through your input file for every
occurrence of the first search entry. Each time it is found it will be
replaced with the first replace entry. When the end of the input file is

K9X450.ARC 225688 02-20-87 Sal Minero's "Underdog" comm prgm v4.50 2/87
U/L by Loren Olson. This one will be on the system for a VERY short time
for 2 reasons: (1) Unless you access Sal Minero's BBS, for which this comm
program has some special features, there are other programs on this system
which I think are much better; (2) This one is admittedly heavily based on
Philip Burn's PibTerm 3.2.5, for which Phil released the source code.
Phil's freely available code has been used to create a comm program for
which money is requested and the modified source has not been released. To
put it mildly, I'm somewhat dubious of that practice.

MORE.ARC 3046 02-19-87 ASM source for MORE command a la MS-DOS
U/L and written by Tom Hanlin. Faster and smaller than the DOS MORE
command, this archive contains source only. As Tom Hanlin points out, the
code is interesting but both the DOS original and this replacement won't
take you away from using Vern Buerg's LIST instead. The unique features of
the code are:
"First, it shows how to remove the meanless and irritating error message
"Warning: no stack segment" produced by the linker. Secondly, it shows
how to take information from the standard input while still having access
to the keyboard, whether or not input has been redirected."

MRLABEL.ARC 67587 02-18-87 "Mr. Label" multi feature label maker v1.0
U/L by Melvin Douglas. A very powerful looking label-maker program.
Features include:
* Print selective record information from most major databases.
* Create professional mass mailing applications:
Channel database records into printing formats that you design.
Print promotional messages on mailers as they're addressed.
* Design reports with up to 12 columns of data.
* Address envelopes; individually or continuous feed. Print the
return address and destination address in one operation.
* Print in any type font supported by your equipment.
Do underlining and variable line spacing.
* Avoid typing repetitive lines - remembers fixed text.
* Center text automatically.
* Make multiple copies.
* Print letterheads, price tags, ID badges, file folder labels,
name tags, inventory slips.
* Design mailing labels - any size; position text however you want
and even vary type fonts between lines.
* Design printing formats and save them to disk.
This program can be configured for most any printer and detailed
instructions in the quite good manual are included.

WORDPLAN.ARC 146323 02-18-87 Lotus 1-2-3 Report writer/A.00.00/multi-file
U/L by Melvin Douglas. "WordPlan is the first "Living Document Processor"
for Lotus 1-2-3 and other applications. WordPlan can read mutiple Lotus
1-2-3 files and produce custom reports and documents. Unlike other
products which require the user to cut and paste Lotus 1-2-3 values into
their documents whenever values change, with WordPlan you only do it once.
When values change in a Lotus 1-2-3 worksheet WordPlan is able to update
all the numbers and reformat the document." The program also has its own
modeling language with math and financial functions, plus its own script
language for the design of interactive applications. There is an on-line
manual that can be printed out or directed to a file (it ends up being 82K
so sending it to a file and LISTing it first sounds like a good idea,
huh?). All in all, this looks to be a powerful program. I can't compare
it to its commercial competitors as I don't have those. (I do wish this
one wouldn't remind you quite so often that it's shareware and that you're
expected to contribute).
PIC204C.ARC 112804 02-18-87 Edit Lotus 1-2-3 PIC (graph) files v2.04
U/L by Chuck Cooper. Who can argue with a program when the first line of
the doc is as follows: "This is a handy-dandy program for fixing up your
Lotus 1-2-3 or Symphony graphs." I mean, if it's handy-dandy, can it be
far from being super-duper? Seriously, this looks like a rather powerful
tool for editing PIC (graph) files made by Lotus products, with good
documentation on both the program itself and the structure of the relevant
Lotus files. This is version 2.04, 1/27/87 and the many changes are
described in the PIC-EDIT.NEW file (use the DOOR to read it if you wish).

series has been around for awhile, these are untested by me (y'all don't
expect me to do a complete backup, low-level format, fdisk, format then
restore just to test these, do ya? Especially, when I did just that about
2 weeks ago using IBM's Advanced Diagnostics to take care of a creeping

TC801.ARC 154014 02-17-87 Meiners' TurboCalc spreadsheet/editor 8.01
U/L by Loren Olson. Edited update notes from the READ.ME file:
2-05-87 Version 8.01: A couple of bug fixes and:
-------
1. It is now possible to select the "key" column for a sort ....
2. An option was added to the Alt-J command, so that a jump-to-cell can
now be done either by cell address or by cell content.
01-10-87 Version 8.00:
--------
1. Range Names. Now you can name a range or individual cell so that
you need not remember the cell address.
2. Macros. Turbo CALC now supports macros, styled in the tradition of
the more expensive commercial spreadsheets. There are 30 macro keys
....
3. The erase command has been expanded so that it is possible to erase
just a part of the worksheet, as well as being able to erase the entire
worksheet.

U/L by Vernon Huang. " TurboFractals is a REAL FAST Mandelbrot-Plotting
package. What is Mandelbrot? The Mandelbrot set is a group of those
numbers in the imaginary number plane which will never attain a size
greater than 2 no matter how many times you perform the iteration z=z^2+z
on them. What TurboFractals does is determine how many iterations it takes
for a point to fail. Then it assigns a color to that pixel related to the
number of iterations. If no failure occurs after 1000 iterations, then
that point is assumed to be in the set, and the pixel is made red. Our
resolution is 640x320, the CGA standard."

E88-V402.ARC 46294 02-17-87 E88 v4.02 text/programmer's editor (bug fix)
U/L by Mark Rapp. This system went from 4.00 to 4.01 to 4.02 in a VERY
short time, and the only "new feature" noted in the doc is that extended
lines will be added together and printed as if one, long line (but that's
identified in both 4.01 and 4.02 as a "new" feature -- ahem). However,
there is a fix in 4.02 that's important, at least to me, albeit
undocumented: 4.0-.01 were putting a very strange EOF marker in, instead of
the normal DOS character. That seems to be fixed in this version. I
assume there may have been other bugs fixed, but who knows?
======================
NOTE: E88 is now "commissionware." I've zapped the serial number, as I
have been doing, and will continue to do, on all such schemes when I catch
them. If any author wishes I would rather not carry his/her program(s) at
all under such circumstances, please just let me know and they'll be
erased.
======================
FIXLST30.ARC 23022 02-17-87 Remove initial FF from MS .LST/.REF & more
U/L and written by Ray Moon. "This program will remove the formfeeds from
the beginning of the .LST or .REF file produced by Microsoft or IBM Macro
Assemblers, the .LST file produced by Micorsoft C compiler, or any file
that has the .LST file format as defined below. Then the program will add
a terminal formfeed to each file. DOS wildcards are valid in any filename,
and this program will attempt to modify all files that match. This makes
these files easier to print without wasting a page." The program operates
in either menu-driven or command line mode. The wildcard option is new in
v3.0, as are some other nice changes. Complete ASM source for the program
is included.

PROPRO10.ARC 7233 02-16-87 Design your own IBM proprinter fonts v1.0

the user to easily send control codes to the Proprinter and also to create
unique fonts. In addition to being saved in binary form, these fonts may
be stored a decimal format for direct examination. The binary format is
ideal for use with WordPerfect and other word processors, since you to
simply retrieve the file in the middle of a WP document and download the
font. The binary files may also be used to download fonts directly from
Propro itself."

SEARCH1.ARC 19303 02-15-87 Search dirs for files/strings ASM/PCM Vol6#3
U/L by Dean Wood. A "whereis" type program that also has the capability to
find files that contain a string you specify. This ARC has the complete
set of files (ASM,COM,BAS and DOC). I suspect Dean must have typed in the
doc himself from PC Mag's article as there was no such file on their BBS.
Indeed, I think Dean also typed in the ASM as it was lacking the comments.
I've substituted a complete copy of the source from PC Mag's Interactive
Reader Service.
CHECK.ARC 9050 02-15-87 BAT param test util ASM/COM PC Mag (Vol6,No3)
This one will do you absolutely no good unless (1) You are very good at
deciphering a program's capabilities from its ASM source; or (2) You have
the referenced PC Mag article. There's no doc. Apparently, PC Mag's
decision to allow free distribution of their programs was accompanied by a
decision not to produce capsule doc files anymore -- or, at least, so a
note of their BBS leads me to believe. Hmmm .... Anyway, if you have the
article, you'll see this is a useful tool for adding power to batch files
by increasing your ability to test for errorlevels and the like and branch
accordingly.

ADJRAM31.ARC 61166 02-15-87 ADJustable RAM Disk Program v3.1/C & ASM src
U/L by John Stanton. A very good, adjustable ram disk program, where you
can change the size of the ram disk without rebooting and, in some
circumstances, without losing the data that is on it. This one also
supports expanded memory, but as the author candidly admits, uses so many
EMS handles as to be impractical. For most purposes, I think you'll find
the program in RDISK2.ARC will meet your needs and is smaller and easier to
use. But, this is also a fine program and includes complete source code.
WHICH.ARC 6936 02-15-87 Which version of pgm will run? COM & src.

It's one 'feature' is really a very useful item; pressing F5 will draw a

tired of writing says & gets but don't need fancy tricks give this a try.
The shareware request is not too high either."

DFSDATA.ARC 20893 02-14-87 Disk/File/System info programs/EXE only

careful Sysops apoplexy. There's no documentation and a dump of the files
produced no author's name or other identifying info. Putting on my
thickest asbestos gloves, I tried these with some care and found they did
produce some useful information about your disk and the files on it (type
of FAT, clusters occupied by files, etc.) and the equipment installed on
your system. Still, while I believe these to be safe and have no reason to
think they're pirated, they'll be here a short time. This kind of file
just shouldn't be encouraged.

U/L by James Bach.
SFIND.ARC 5247 02-14-87 Fast whereis-type util/Searches arcs, too
U/L by James Bach. I'm going to take these 2 files together as they
happened to come in within 24 hours and perform much the same task. Both
are "whereis" programs that have the additional option of searching inside
archives for a file. So, if you know "DONTLOSE.ME!" is somewhere in a mass
of archives but, notwithstanding it's name, you don't remember where,
either of these programs will bail you out. As for which of these programs
is faster, I didn't benchmark, but PKFIND allows a path specification for
the search, while SFIND always searches the entire drive. Given that
searching through arcs is a laborious, disk intensive task, the path spec
option gives PKFIND a clear leg up.
NOTE: PKFIND was uploaded as a 16K, self-extracting COM file. With
apologies to Phil Katz, I've run it to extract the files and rebuilt it as
a regular archive. I fully understand why Phil's arc utils are distributed
as self-unpacking COM files (to resolve the Catch-22 of how do you unarc
your first arc utility?), but there's no reason to do that with this util
when it makes the file 6K larger, prevents reading the doc in a DOOR, and
requires explanation. O.K.?

I have absolutely no idea how this version differs from 2.1 (reviewed 2/6/87).
There's nothing in the documentation that tells what's new and the programs
don't seem any different when run. Presumably, it's minor bug fixes. The
dates of the files also don't make sense. They are all dated 5/15/86, yet
they were just sent by the author to Rich Schinnell, CPCUG software
librarian, and the sign-on copyright is 1987. Got me. If you just
downloaded 2.1, you can probably pass this one by. If you don't have the
earlier version, read the review of it below and see if this very good

current dir; SETGLOB -- sets global environment from a batch file running
under a secondary command processor; SETNOW -- sets env parms DATE and TIME

how much memory your other TSR's are using. I also don't know what's new
in this version as there's no doc (nor was there one for 3.0). Dump the
.COM file and you'll see there are a few command line options.
DS230.ARC 99120 02-13-87 Directory Scanner v2.30 - DOS shell/backup
A very powerful, but somewhat intimidating, combination sweep-type util and
backup program. The major change in this version (2.30, 2/1/87) is the
addition of context sensitive on-line help, and that's an excellent
addition to this program. There are other, less significant changes
described in the DS_READ.ME file.
BPRT111A.ARC 20216 02-13-87 Print files w/2 preceeding banner pp for ID
U/L and written by Bill Madison. Those of you who use multi-user computers
are familiar with the banner that is put before each document that is
printed. Because many users can be sending files to the spooler and
sharing one printer, it helps identify what's what. Well, here's the same
idea, tailored for a single-user micro. The banner gives the name of the
file, the dir in which it was located, and the date/time that it was
printed. 2 banner pages are printed so that the banner will be visible no
matter how your pages are folded (the paper companies will love this
program -- tree conservationists will not). Makes use of the DOS PRINT
spooler if it's installed.

STRM310B.ARC 38267 02-12-87 STORage Management util 3.10B/Clean up HDisk
U/L and written by Bill Madison. A useful multi-purpose utility for doing
a little housecleaning on your hard disk. Functions include: (1) Global
deletion starting from any dir on the drive (with the option to view a file
before deleting it); (2) A whereis type program; (3) A fast display of your
file tree structure; (4) A storage summary, listing each dir with bytes for
that dir plus % of disk's total bytes; (5) A sorted dir listing; and (6) A
find duplicate files function. Requires ANSI.SYS or equivalent. Well-done
and easy to use.

BYE-PC.ARC 65953 02-12-87 Remote console demo/IBM-PC/XT/AT/Hayes 1.02
U/L by Steve Sanders. My, my, sure does bring back memories. On RCP/M
systems, you didn't get menus, etc. The phone was answered by a program
called BYE and promptly dumped you to the operating system. Well, we
weren't stupid. The operating system had been modified so that none of the
dangerous commands were available (unless you knew the secret password).
This is a "demo" package of similar programs ported to DOS. Included are
the BYE program itself, a SHELL program to provide security, a simple
XMODEM program, STAT (dir) program and even a CHAT facility. As best I
understand from the very brief documentation, it's a demo only in the sense
that registered users get the source code (MS-C and ASM) which is not
included here. A few notes: 2400 baud is not supported (yet?). I
couldn't get the BYE program to work at all. It says a Hayes 1200 is
needed and I was testing with a Courier 2400, but it's command-set
compatible so I don't know why that would be the problem (I had also
initialized the comm port for 1200 baud operation). Anyway, it was a dud
here. Hope you have better luck.

full-featured DOS implementations of their Unix counterparts. The

ADVC10.ARC 13542 02-10-87 v1.0 of routine library for (Microsoft) C
U/L and written by Tom Hanlin. Everyone who has worked with C knows there
are some basic (sorry, pun not intended) functions that are not included.
You end up having to write them yourself, often in assembler. This is Tom
Hanlin's first release of a nice group of routines for C programming. Most
of you will recognize Tom as the author of the ADVBAS routines, the
indispensable collection of functions for compiled basic programs. Well,
Tom bought himself a C compiler (Microsoft C, no less) and has started the
process of building a similar library for C.
The included routines fall in 4 categories: (1) Equipment (e.g., how many
serial ports or how much EMS memory free); (2) Input (e.g., lots of mouse
routines); (3) Strings (e.g., soundex matches and case conversion); and (4)
Video (e.g., clear to the end of line or scroll an area of the screen).
Most of the routines access the hardware at a fairly low level and will be
compiler dependent (MS-C 4.0). However, the strings routines are pretty
generic, and even the other routines can probably be ported.
All in all, a very useful collection, and this is a first release! If the
history of ADVBAS is any guide, this is a collection to keep an eye on.

BOYAN-D1.ARC 183416 02-09-87 Justin Boyan's excellent comm program v.D-1
02-09-87 Full documentation, Ymodem-G & more 020987
This is the second public release of Justin Boyan's communications program
and some substantial changes have been made. First, this release is
accompanied by FULL documentation. In release C-1, Justin had omitted
documentation of the script language to encourage registrations. That was
met with some displeasure here and elsewhere, and I'm glad he has changed
his mind.
BOYAN is a full-featured, powerful and quite fast comm package. Protocol
support is very good. In addition to Xmodem, CRC and single-file Ymodem,
this release adds Ymodem-G, the full-flow version of Ymodem designed for
modems with internal error correction. In addition, BOYAN supports Kermit
and Zmodem by executing PC-Kermit and DSZ respectively. Unfortunately, the
DSZ implementation is faulty. Zmodem is inherently a batch protocol. Even
for a single file receive, DSZ gets the filename and other info from the
sender. BOYAN interferes with this by always passing a filename to DSZ (if
you leave that field blank, it passes a "." to it, which is a complete
disaster). In addition, passing the filename to DSZ prevents Zmodem batch
receives. And, BOYAN won't allow you to pass a wildcard or multiple
filename string to DSZ for sends, so it cripples DSZ's ability to do Zmodem
batch uploads. All in all, not too good, and hopefully that will be fixed
in the next release.
But, the good news is that transfer speeds for other protocols have
improved noticeably and BOYAN's regular Ymodem is quite fast. And, the
other unique features of BOYAN remain. BOYAN can read the filename you
wish to send or receive from the command you give to the remote system,
thus saving you from entering it twice. And, the redial queue is very
clever. BOYAN automatically adds to the queue any number you dial that is
busy, so when you invoke a redial, they're all there ready to go (or you
can edit the queue if you wish).

BOYAN-D1.ARC (Continued)
The "macro" (script) language that is now documented looks quite powerful
indeed. The program also has context-sensitive on-line help. The command
structure is easy-to-learn and sensible. There's a very clever sweep-type
util built right into the program, and access to any DOS command is as easy
as can be (indeed, you're better off invoking DSZ through the DOS shell
capability given the problems with BOYAN's built-in method).
All in all, an excellent package. There's no terminal emulation here (ansi
graphics are supported), so if you need that capability, this isn't your
program. But, for BBS calling and the like, this program should prove
quite popular. It's a very impressive programming effort by a young, but
obviously highly-talented and hard-working, programmer.
LASER102.ARC 62464 02-09-87 HP LaserJet+ Option Selection System v1.02
This looks to be an exceptionally powerful setup program for the HP LJ+,
taking advantage of all the many capabilities of that printer (there are
days I could consider larceny for a laser printer as I watch and listen to
my old letter-quality pound along). The program uses pull-down menus which
are a bit slow, but your settings can also be saved to a file for immediate
command-line execution. v1.02, 1/87.
BT105.ARC 7288 02-09-87 Boot hard disk w/floppy in A: drive/ASM 1.05
U/L and written by Bill Gibson. Very nicely done. Like the program in
INVIS.ARC, BootThru will modify the boot record of a floppy so that your
system will boot off the hard disk even if you have a diskette in your
floppy drive. The program is small and fast, and seems to work
just dandy. Complete ASM source included. v1.05, 2/9/87.

02-08-87 program/now w Ymodem batch and SeaLink
Colin Sampaleanu has done a major update on his already quite good comm
program. There are too many changes to list them all (use the DOOR to read
TELIX210.NEW), but some highlights:
--- Protocol support has been enhanced, with the addition of
SeaLINK (Thom Henderson's version of windowed xmodem), Modem7 batch (used
to be popular in CP/M days) and Ymodem Batch. The latter implementation is
partial with file date/time stamping not supported, but it is still
compatible with more complete Ymodem Batch implementations.
--- A la Boyan, Telix now attempts to read the name of the file you
are up or downloading off the screen from the command you gave to the BBS
so you won't also have to tell Telix the filename. Cute (when it works).
--- Host mode has been enhanced, with primitive security levels
based on passwords.
--- The redial command brings up a list of the numbers to be
queued, and the list can be edited.
--- The separate configuration program has been eliminated and
those functions incorporated into the program itself.
There are also quite a few bug fixes, and this version seems quite stable.
There are still some minor annoyances and slip-ups (dentists will be
pleased to see that Alt-V allows them to do DDS (sic) Commands --- the
first modem program to do root canals!), but Telix is a very powerful, fast
package, and one of the few around that takes up little space on your disk
and runs in less than 128K of RAM.

EDIT345.ARC 25288 02-07-87 Very small, capable, full screen edit v3.45
This is an update to the file in ED221.ARC. Perhaps most important, this
powerful little editor has finally shown up with documentation by the
author that reveals how to actually make use of all of its capabilities.
It really is quite impressive. While the command structure is a bit
awkward, all the normal copy, move, search and replace, etc. commands are
here, and it even has word-wrap! All in a 12K COM file (written in ASM,
source not included) that requires about 20K of RAM to run and uses all
remaining memory to hold the file. Thus, 360K of free mem theoretically
allows you to edit about a 340K file. Not too shabby, and this is still a
developmental version of the editor. This is one I'm using myself in a
small DOS partition on this system to edit the DIRxx files, so as you come
across new versions, folks, an upload would be warmly appreciated. Indeed,
this version is dated 07/23/86 making me suspect there's a more current
version floating around somewhere.

MNGX21C.ARC 154601 02-06-87 \ other professionals w/15 or less employees
Obtained from Rich Schinnell, CPCUG software librarian, who was sent the
program by the author. This is truly a very impressive piece of shareware.
It is similar in some respects to TIM10 (reviewed 02-03-87) but remedies
most of the shortcomings I noted regarding that program. MANAGEX is a
full-featured timekeeping, billing and (somewhat more rudimentary)
bookkeeping system. To quote a bit from the doc:
ManageX is an office management tool designed specifically for
small service-oriented firms. It will track time worked on profes-
sional matters and calculate the amount owed by each client. It will
also keep up with receipts and disbursements, and it will maintain
such accounts as you wish, allowing you to carry out simple bookkeep-
ing functions. Perhaps most importantly, it will automatically com-
pile service, disbursement, and receipt transactions for each client
into monthly bills.
* * *
ManageX can handle any combination of the following:
15 employees (partners and others);
4000 clients;
4000 accounts;
4000 service/fee entries per month;
4000 disbursements per month;
4000 receipt/adjustment entries per month; and
4000 account transactions per month.
As distributed, the program is geared for a small law office (keep in mind
the limitation of 15 employees -- this is obviously not a package that's
going to be of any use to Covington and Burling!). However, it can be
readily modified for any similar business that bills for time and expenses.
The program is quite easy to use, the documentation is clear and
comprehensive (and, believe it or not, this 172K doc file is an abbreviated
version of the docs), and the performance even on an XT is respectable.
There is some delay while various overlay and chain files load as you go
from module to module, an almost unavoidable problem with a program written
in Turbo Pascal, as this is. Most important, the program is extremely
flexible, so that you can customize it to your own business.

MNGX21?.ARC (Continued)
My only gripe is similar to one I made about TIM10. The program is just
too big to be used by individual employees to record their time spent on
matters. As a result, they'll end up keeping paper time slips which
someone with then have to enter into the MANAGEX system. A separate,
time-slip entry only program to go along with the rest of this package
would increase its value enormously (even better if it could optionally be
run as a TSR so a time slip could be popped-up on the screen without having
to exit from another application).
With that limitation, and a rather high shareware price ($125 minimum is
the requested payment -- the commercial TimeSlips program by North Edge
Software is $99.95 and received a rave review from InfoWorld), the program
is still worth a look. The documentation is in MNGX21A.ARC and I would
urge you to download and read that first before coming back for the rest.
The version of the programs in these archives is not at all crippled, but
there is mention of plans to supply an enhanced version with additional

EXE.ARC 13329 02-06-87 Dr. Dobb's version of Microsoft EXEMOD.EXE
U/L by Ken Brown. Based on code from DDJ, a small util that allows you to
view and modify the header on an EXE file. C source included.
PWRWN11.ARC 56889 02-06-87 "Power Windows" v1.1/Windows for Turbo Pascal
U/L by Stephen Falatko. " The Power Windows package is a set of procedures
and functions for use with Borland International's Turbo Pascal that allow
programmers to easily incorporate windowing into their own programs. For
those with Turbo Pascal, no extra coding is required; all you have to do is
include three files into your own source, and it's as if Turbo Pascal has
defined a whole new set of procedures for you."

QDR28.ARC 5488 02-06-87 Buerg's Quick Diskette Reformatter 2.8 020587
An update to Vern Buerg's excellent disk format program. Changes:
Version 2.7, 2/4/87
- update boot sector with device constant when using /f to
format, should correct problems with 3.5 inch dsqd drive
- correct initialization of fat (not marking bad clusters)
when using /f
Version 2.8, 2/5/87
- correct marking of fat for side 2
- improve format verification, set retries to 2
- add operator action request for drive not ready or if disk
is write protected
This version now properly formats a perfectly dismal floppy I keep around
for torturing such programs, finding and marking the same bad sectors as
the DOS format command. Still, what I love about QDR is the fast,
re-format of previously formatted disks, and that's what I'll use it for
most.
D.ARC 4230 02-06-87 Tracks changing files in subdirs/WC/020387
An update to Ward Christensen's little program so that it keeps its data in
a separate *.DAT file, rather than within a modified version of the COM
file itself. You also have the option of doing it the old way with a debug
change.
MINOTAUR.ARC 204792 02-06-87 BBS system w/DOS access/Xmodem CRC v2.0d
U/L by Bill Walsh. Sorry -- I'm not going to set-up a BBS system just for
the sake of reviewing it in this bulletin. I scanned the docs and noticed
that Minotaur lacks Ymodem, and promptly lost interest. Comments by others
who do fiddle with this one very welcome.
TRACE1.ARC 51762 02-06-87 Interrupt TRACEr v1.21 01/26/87 w/ASM Krueger

ZENO12.ARC 8657 02-06-87 ZENO - speed up screen I/O 1/28/87 v1.2 w/ASM
U/L by Bill Gibson. And the mods to this excellent screen speeder-upper
continue. The latest changes:
Changes by Chris Blum - CompuServe 76625,1041 1/28/87
Added code to support TTY mode output ( AH = 0EH ). Needed because
some clone BIOSs ( mine is DTK/ERSO ), do not update cursor position
through BIOS call in this mode. Without the changes, ZENO loses its
place in the display memory and the display goes out to lunch with some
BIOS configurations. I tried to follow the technique and spirit of the
existing code as much as possible. Updated version number ( now 1.2 ).
[02-05-87]
PCW271C.ARC 63857 02-05-87 Quicksoft's PC-Write 2.71 Utilities Disk
02-05-87 These files are changed for 2.71 release
U/L by Rob Cecchino. This archive contains only the new utility files for
release 2.71 of PC-Write. All of the other files were the same, and have
been put in PCW271B.ARC, and that arc has been dated 10/03/86. For more
information about PC-Write, see bulletin 3 on this system.
LIST569C.ARC 14061 01-24-87 Last "small" (6K RAM) version of Buerg's LIST
I've slipped this one on the system with the date of the arc, rather than
the date placed here, to avoid confusion among those who only do [N]ew
searches and skip this bulletin. LIST 6.1A is the current version of LIST
and is the one most of you will want to use. But, 6.1A, with all its many
features, now requires a minimum of 64K of RAM in which to run. LIST 5.69
requires about 6K RAM and is thus useful in small, multi-tasking
partitions, etc. Vern was kind enough to add the file-sharing capabilities
of 6.1A to the "small" version of LIST. That's the only change since
5.69B, but it happens to be a blessing for me as I often use the small
version of LIST in a tiny maintenance partition on this computer even while
both nodes of the board are active. With file sharing implemented, I can
look at ANY file without fear of a SHARE violation. Many thanks, Vern.

ADVBAS30.ARC 94170 02-05-87 v3.0 of routine library for BASIC compilers
U/L and written by Tom Hanlin. This "Second Anniversary Edition" of Tom
Hanlin's excellent routines for compiled basic actually arrived a month
early. Tom must have given up sleeping altogether (we won't speculate on
what else folks give up who produce excellent programs like this in their
"spare" time). If you program in compiled basic, you owe yourself a look
at this collection (and Tom a contribution if you use it). Here's what's
new in the latest:
Many of the existing ADVBAS routines have been further optimized.
MMCHECK will now return the number of mouse buttons available as well
as a mouse status check. GETKBD and SETKBD allow you to get/set the
states of the keyboard toggles: insert, caps lock, num lock, and
scroll lock. GETCRT tells you whether the display is color or
monochrome. CLRKBD clears any pending characters from the keyboard
buffer. DELAY18TH and DELAY allow you to delay for a given time
interval, independent of machine type. CALCATTR calculates the
color/attribute for routines such as XQPRINT. Unlike the BASIC
formula it replaces, it allows use of the "blink" attribute. SHIFTL
and SHIFTR let you perform binary shifts on integers. It is now
possible to have low-res graphics on any monitor, using the SETPOINT,
RESETPOINT and TESTPOINT routines. These give you 80 column by 50
row graphics in text mode. Finally, MAKEWINDOW has been converted
from BASIC to a normal ADVBAS routine (in assembly language) for
extra speed and convenience.

UNICORN.ARC 173044 02-04-87 Graphics LIB for Lattice C 3 012587 v3.1
U/L by Ron Shillington. A very substantial update to what looks to be an
excellent collection of graphics and sound routines for the Lattice C 3.0
compiler. The documentation has been significantly improved and many new
functions have been added to the libraries themselves, plus there are
several new demo programs. Almost (not quite) makes me wish I had that
compiler. Note: There are IBM and Tandy 1000 versions of the routines in
the archive.

MSTRKY16.ARC 73026 02-04-87 Norton-like utilities, including an UNERASE
02-04-87 that works! on DOS 3.x hard disks over 20 meg
02-04-87 Formerly DISKTOOL, now MASTER KEY v1.6a 1/87
U/L by Mike Focke. I raved about this program back when v1.5 was placed on
this system (see review of 10/12/86). It has almost all of the features of
commercial programs like the Norton Utilities or PC-Tools, and a few unique
capabilities of its own. Most important, it has an unerase capability that
works even on hard disks larger than 20 megs that have been formatted with
DOS 3.x (i.e., disks with 16 bits per FAT entry). To my knowledge, it's
the only program available on BBS systems that is capable of doing so.
And, it's quite easy to use, with excellent documentation.
Here's what's new in version 1.6a (01/01/87 release):
Added the ability to search for text while editing a file or the
disk. Standardized how Home, End, F10, and Esc are defined and
operate. Made it nearly impossible for you to lose changes made to
a sector by pressing the wrong key accidentally (it now asks you if
you want to save the changes). Code improvement and vast changes
were made in several critical areas which made the program more
reliable, smaller, and quicker.
PCBFIL28.ARC 74937 02-04-87 PCBoard Dir Maintenance/ PCB 10&11 / v2.8
U/L and written by John Wulff. Whoops! -- caught a little bug:
February 03, 1987 Version 2.8
1. Fixes a slight problem that developed when trying to save a
DEF file depending upon the combination of parameters
selected. NOW PCBFile DOES NOT reset any options or
parameters set after start-up.

MOUSES.ARC 31847 02-03-87 Collection of MicroSoft Mouse Drivers
U/L by Bill Wood. Only in the world of computers would the plural of
"mouse" end up being "mouses." I'm not sure that these drivers are useful
if you have v6.0 of the MS Mouse given the changes, but then again, as I
have no MICE! here, I can't evaluate these at all.

TIM10.ARC 235974 02-03-87 Schiff's time & expenses billing system 2/87
"TIME IS MONEY" is a time and expense billing system written in dBIII+
(source not included) and compiled with QuickSilver. The program also
includes VIDPOP, the mem-res module for speeding up screen writes (which
are, indeed, quite fast, at the cost of over 25K of RAM). The program is
very professionally implemented and quite flexible, with good reporting
capabilities, including tracking by project or client, amounts
received/outstanding, etc. Most popular printers are supported for
printing out reports, invoices and the like, and you can also enter custom
printer codes for almost any other. There's no manual per se, but the 25
page on-line documentation is adequate for this relatively easy to use
program.
Two shortcomings: (1) I didn't notice any easy way for tracking time by
employee. That can be relevant to billing if you charge different rates
for different employees, and also is critical for internal reports. There
may be a work-around for this if you set up your categories cleverly. (2)
This is not something you're going to want to load everytime you do a
little work for a client that you want to record. It's just too large and
cumbersome for that. Presumably, you'd have employees keeping paper time
slips which would then be entered into this system.
Notwithstanding the above, it's a good program and worth a look if your
business involves charging for time and expenses. The program is
shareware, and this version is not at all crippled. From a message left on
Pete Olympia's board by the author, the source is apparently available for
purchase (no price specified).

Daniel Lawrence continues to provide excellent support for this editor and
there are major enhancements in this latest release (1/21/87, 3.8B). The
README file in the arc can be viewed here via the DOOR for full info. The
most significant change is the new extention language:
"MicroEMACS is now equipped with a fully functional extention language in
which to write macros. These macros can be saved, recalled and bound to
keystrokes, thus allowing a high degree of customization."
Other changes include path searching for startup and help files, a better
on-line help system, file encryption, a restrictive mode to prevent users
from exiting to DOS, better word-wrap, and more.
Everyone interested in this program should download the DOC arc as it
contains info common to all the versions and the startup and help files
used by all. You can then choose the executable you need from those
listed. And finally, the complete source is in the last archive.

LPTX501.ARC 24823 02-03-87 Another LPTX version/try if earlier ones fail
U/L by Paul Kopit. Getting DOS to redirect printer output to disk ain't
easy. LPTX300 worked great under DOS 2.x, but is -- how shall we say it --
ah, flaky, under DOS 3.x. LPTX400 tried another approach which helped, but
in very limited circumstances and often failed where 3.00 would succeed.
Well, here's yet another. Add it to your arsenal, don't erase the earlier
versions, and you may find one of them works for your particular
application. Also, keep RPRN and LPT2DSK around and try those as well (and
I sure hope your computer has a reset switch). LPTX501 contains the
complete ASM source, as do the earlier versions which will be retained on
this system.

FORM264.ARC 97971 02-02-87 Form-Gen v2.64 /Draw Business Forms
Very minor changes to a good business forms generator package. Last
reviewed: 10/27/86. Changes:
- The help system has been expanded to include a quick reference to

- The printer now moves to the beginning of the next page after

- A small gap left in a joint when drawing a double line down from
horizontal single line has been fixed.

LDRES.ARC 6676 02-01-87 Help turn a .COM file into a TSR/Gans 1.0 1/87
A loader program by Eric Gans than can help programmers turn their COM
files into terminate and stay-resident (pop-up) programs. I've seen this
program described on other systems as "Turn any COM file into a TSR."
Wrong. Gans' documentation describes the modifications to a program that
must be made before LDRES has a shot at making it a TSR. If you don't make
those mods, all you're going to do is end up reaching for the big red
switch.
FC2000.ARC 68050 02-01-87 Fred's Checkbook (manager) v2.000 1/1/87

loaded this one up just to see what it looks like -- it looks pretty.
Beyond that, I don't see any exceptional capabilities here -- the standard
capabilities to balance your checkbook and do some limited accounting based
on categories you establish. Essentially no doc, but one is hardly
necessary.
CTUTOR-1.ARC 135736 02-01-87 \ Coronado Enterprises C Tutorial \ Text
CTUTOR-2.ARC 114381 02-01-87 / Introduction to C programming / Source
U/L by Steve Hite. Question: What is the advantage of having a C tutorial
like this on disk rather than publishing it in a book? You're probably
going to end up wanting to print out the first arc anyway (which, in
essence, consists of chapters in a book) rather than reading it on line.
Well, I suppose one advantage here is that the price is right. And, the
second arc contains quite good source code examples and you won't have to
type those in by hand. Bottom line for me is that I have seen books on
programming in C that are much better than this tutorial, but this one's
not bad and you can try-before-you-buy (it's shareware).

E88-V4.ARC 46191 02-01-87 Emery Wooten's fast text editor; v4.00
U/L by Gerhard Barth. An update to a very good, VERY small, programmer's
editor. While nowhere near as full-featured as QEDIT or EDWIN, for
example, E88 is also nowhere near as large or memory hungry. Changes for
this release include a much more sensible way of finding the setup files,
optional tab compression, improved search routines, better mnemonics for

program. Changes are:
3.2 Fixed minor typos.
Fixed problem with long paths causing the program to blow up.
Fixed config, so that when returning from config, rewrites bottom lines
in new colors.
Added a [Z]oom indicator on bottom to show how to Zoom and to show
what was zoomed.
3.3 Maintenance Release to replace 3.2, which may have had a garbled
overlay file included.
