SORTF220.ARC 4546 07-01-87 Buerg's excellent SORT replacement v2.20
07-01-87 Now sorts on up to 16 key fields/very fast
In the docs for SORTF, Vern Buerg modestly states that the advantages of
SORTF vs. DOS's SORT filter is that the former can handle files larger than
63K and takes "less time." Let me be a bit more blunt: The DOS SORT
program is next to useless. It's a bicycle with training wheels compared
to Vern's Indy racing machine. SORTF can, if memory allows, sort a file as
large as 40,000 records (up to a 16 meg file) and it does so FAST!
Version 2.20 adds a much needed capability to this program -- the
ability to sort on multiple key fields. Up to 16 fields of variable
lengths can be specified. And the syntax is a cinch. All this in a
program that's 2,805 bytes (getting awful large there, Vern -- that's 57
more bytes than the last release!).
O.K. You have the message. SORTF has always been an invaluable
tool to me and the ability to sort on multiple keys is a very significant
revision. Note: I participated in testing of this program (that may make
me biased but also means I've had a chance to put the new features through
their paces and see how vaulable and easy-to-use they are). For counting
field positions and lengths for the sort, use Buerg's LIST with the ruler
on or Counting Cursor (CCUR21B.ARC).

CCUR21B.ARC 15936 06-30-87 Counting Cursor 2.1B/ruler w/TSR opt'n/excl'nt
U/L by Bob Weinstein. The docs do a good job of summarizing this excellent
program so let's start with an excerpt:
"CCUR places a movable cursor on a static screen display and lets your
fingers do the walking while the cursor does the counting. The counter can
be toggled on or off and initialized to zero or one anywhere on the screen,
giving you a quick count of the characters spanning two points.
Features of CCUR include a constantly-updated row/column coordinate
readout; the ability to jump to the top left, lower right, or center of the
display, as well as to the beginning or end of a line with a single
keystroke; the ability to skip forward or backward a specified number of
characters from the current point; the ability to write the displayed
widths to a file for external reference; and the ability to save the screen
image in a disk file. Version 2.1 (CCUR.COM) provides the capabilities of
CCUR in a memory-resident form and adds a time/date display to the help
screen."
CCUR has for a long time been the best program on this system (and
I know of nothing commercial that's better) for looking at a database-type
file and determining the positions and lengths of the fields. This is
enormously valuable if you want to import the file to another program or
sort it on particular keys (e.g. with Buerg's SORTF that now handles up to
16 keys of variable lengths). What was missing was the TSR option so you
could bring the program right up over your display of the file. Now, that
capability is here. Wonderful stuff. There's no uninstall, but the
program can be MARK/RELEASE'd. Truly a winner.
CSAP202A.ARC 37697 06-30-87 Williams' Sort & Pack dirs v2.02a/060987, w/C
U/L by Bob Weinstein. It's a bit hard to figure out from the docs what's
new in this version compared to 2.00. CSAP is a good program to sort your
directories for faster access. I own and use Norton's DirSort and am
comfortable with that, but if you don't .... Complete DataLight C source is
included in the archive.

======================
NARC11.ARC 40916 06-30-87 Mouse/menu-driven point/shoot unarc util v1.1
U/L by Bob Weinstein. I've converted this from a self-extracting arc to a
normal one, saving 10K in the process (ahem). NARC is a menu-driven arc
verbose dir, view, extract utility that works quite well. It undoubtedly
would be even easier to use with a mouse as it supports that device
(untried here). If you want to browse through a collection of arcs in a
subdir, looking them over and selectively reading and extracting files, you
may find this useful. See also LARK21 which is similar but shells to
PKXARC. NARC is self-contained and written in ASM, resulting in a small,
pretty fast util.
LED2.ARC 21175 06-30-87 Simple line editor esp for BBS sysops 4/27/87
U/L by Raymond Wood. This editor is pretty rudimentary but may be useful
for sysops in editing dir files or creating screens. It shows spaces
(including trailing blanks) so you can delete them if you wish (but with PE
II which I use removing spaces can be automatic).
STORM31C.ARC 34992 06-30-87 STORage Management util 3.10C/Clean up HDisk
U/L by Raymond Wood. STORM has been reviewed here before. It's a good
package for looking around your hard disk and cleaning things up a bit.
Update notes: Version 3.10C: 1. General code clean-up; 2. Exercise more
care on input buffer flushing.
INLINNEW.ARC 3258 06-30-87 Mod INLINE.PAS/ASM&PAS in 1 source input file
U/L by Stephen Falatko. "[D]ocuments an alteration ... [to David
Baldwin's] INLINE.PAS to alter the input file format for INLINE.PAS to
match that of the DeSmet C compiler. This allows placing the entire body
of a procedure in one source input file, and directly including the output
of INLINE into the final program. No changes have been made to the actual
instruction assember."
CAROUS.ARC 11315 06-30-87 Barry Simon's April'87 CPCUG Carousel article
CARUTIL.ARC 24390 06-30-87 Simon & Wilson's Carousel utilities, 06/15/87
U/L by Bob Weinstein. I don't have Carousel (a task switcher by SoftLogic
that can use EMS), but anything by the very talented duo of Simon & Wilson
is worth a look so grab these if you have the program.
KBCHK.ARC 873 06-30-87 Lattice C ASM src kbhit() func w/no STDIN;tal

SMCBIOS3.ARC 6293 06-30-87 BIOS INTs v3 for small-c w/C;Thomas A. Lundin

[06-29-87]
GPS.ARC 20707 06-29-87 Word Perfect 4.2 macros/multiple legal docs
U/L by Judy Levine. A pretty intricate set of WP 4.2 macros for use by
lawyers who prepare multiple, related documents which have the same
information to be merged in named fields (e.g. real estate closing papers
where "BUYER", "SELLER" "BROKER" etc. can be defined and repeated across a
set of documents). Even if you don't do that kind of work, the macros are
very clever and well-documented, making a good learning tool.
PERSYS.ARC 127428 06-29-87 Personnel Mngmnt Systm 1.0/store employee data
U/L by Judy Levine. A compiled database manager of employee information,
this one is very easy to use and seems to have the capabilities that most
companies would want. Data can be retrieved by name or social security
number and the program will also print mailing labels. On-line doc can be
printed.
RNGBAK12.ARC 32247 06-29-87 Ring Detect/DTR Control Utilities Ver. 1.2
U/L & written by Jeff Green. "RINGBACK is a utility to allow ringback
operation of a communications program which doesn't have that feature built
in. It isn't the total solution to data use of non-dedicated telephone
lines, but it may get you part way there. Written in TurboPascal 3.01A,
developed for use with Remote Access packages such as pcANYWHERE to allow
use of non-dedicated lines. Designed for the 8250/14450 series UART or
controllers that use the same address scheme, COM1/COM2 selectable.
Revisions 6/18/87: Revised SetDTR procedure to retain old setting,
changing only the DTR bit (bit 0) of the MCR. Prior versions may have
reset the entire MCR rather than just the DTR bit."

======================
PCOPY6.ARC 64025 06-29-87 Patriquin's excellent COPY/MOVE utility v6.0
U/L by Loren Olson. Norm's PCOPY is an excellent replacement for the DOS
COPY, XCOPY and REPLACE commands, with many more capabilities than all 3
put together. I've raved about PCOPY enough times here before that I won't
put you through it again. Suffice it to say, PCOPY is an excellent program
that I use frequently and has some selection criteria that are helpful to
me that just aren't available in any other program.
Version 6.0 has some new selection options, including 2 dealing with
duplicate filenames, batch file operation, and showing why a file was not
copied. There are some other nice, more or less cosmetic changes. There
is also a new capability to use environment SET commands to control options
but that is only available to registered users (along with a couple of the
other selection options that are not new).
NOTE: I stumbled on a bug in this version dealing with copying certain
files in no-windows or batch modes -- the program will hang midway through
larger files. I've already reported the problem to Norm and I'm sure we'll
see a fix soon.
TELCONV.ARC 1127 06-29-87 Aids editing Telix phone directory w/BAS
U/L & written by Tom Hanlin. Telix's phone dir is ascii so you can edit it
with your favorite, but if your editor strips out trailing blanks, Telix
will gag on the dir. This little BASIC program restores the dir to
appropriate Telix format.
SFUTIL.ARC 57181 06-29-87 3 utils manipulate HP LaserJ softfonts w/TPas
U/L by Francis Sullivan.
DSPACE14.ARC 12616 06-29-87 Bar-graph of directory space allocation v1.4
U/L by Neal Machtiger. It's a personal prejudice (like everything else in
this bulletin but it's useful to fess up to that from time to time) but ...
I'm not into pretty; I'm into fast and accurate (pretty is nice, too, in
addition). I don't find disk space usage by subdir provided in a bar graph
very useful. It's not detailed enough for my purposes. Compare the program
in 3CT.ARC that gives the same info -- not pretty, but detailed, accurate
and fast.
BCOPY2.ARC 27447 06-29-87 Show/copy files based on archive bit/reset 2.0
U/L by Neal Machtiger. A useful-looking backup/copy program, it operates
either from menus or the command line. BCOPY will do a recursive copy down
a subdir tree copying all (w/or w/out prompting) files with the archive bit
on and can reset the bits. Prompts when the floppy in A: is full.

CVTFON17.ARC 61025 06-29-87 CvtFon v1.7 comm program FON/DIR converter
Now handles the latest Qmodem and GT phone dir formats, and has some other
bug fixes and minor additions. This is *the* convert a phone dir from one
comm program to another utility.
PC-PR15.ARC 57652 06-29-87 Medlin's Payroll Manager, v.1.5 '87 tables
No update notes --- indeed, the doc is from version 1.4. Companion program
to Medlin's other accounting modules.
[06-28-87]
TCSEARCH.ARC 2159 06-28-87 Directory search routine in Turbo C, src only
U/L by Bob Weinstein. Sort of reminds me of when Turbo Pascal first came
out. First, lots of code frags like this one showed up. Later, full scale
applications started to appear. This is just a simple routine to search
through subdirs for files meeting a particular spec.
TURBCPAT.ARC 10864 06-28-87 Borland's 3 patches to Turbo C, thru 06/19/87
U/L by Bob Weinstein. Ah finally -- official patches for 3 of the bugs
that have cropped up in the first release of Turbo C, including the
floating division bug and others that were already here in other files (but
see STRSTR.ARC that has a fix not covered here). Includes a nifty
PATCH.COM program from Borland to automatically apply the patches (and that
has the smarts to make sure it's patching the right version of Turbo C).
It's a shame PATCH.COM is copyrighted as it would be useful for others
distributing debug fixes.
LISTM200.ARC 38750 06-28-87 ListMesg, RBBS read/print msgs v2.00;06/26/87
U/L by Bob Weinstein. RBBS? <grin>. Allows reading/printing the RBBS
message file from DOS.
NAVYTIME.ARC 25946 06-28-87 Call US Naval Obs/get time w/Turbo C source
U/L & written by Mike Rubenstein. This is the 3rd program that has shown
up to call the US Naval Observatory to get the correct time for your
computer. But, what's really interesting here is the inclusion of the
Turbo C source which has the basic (no malaprop intended) routines for
interrupt-driven output and polled input from COM1 and COM2.
ATCLK14.ARC 1126 06-28-87 Set AT's clock w/out having to use setup v1.4
U/L by Mike Focke. Resets the AT's CMOS clock without having to use IBM's
setup and w/out a reboot.

PRTSC90.ARC 2246 06-28-87 Turn PrtScreen sideways/ COM only / untested
U/L by Mike Focke. I just don't have a printer that's IBM compatible
enough to try this.
TODO13.ARC 32117 06-28-87 Simple, good program to keep TODO lists v1.3
U/L by Mark Rapp. Just a nice, handy little program to enter things you're
supposed to do (and their deadlines) and then to look them up again. Easy
to use and with enough capabilities that you may find it useful.
QBFE10.ARC 66808 06-28-87 QBasic Front End; Use own editor/invoke LINK
U/L by Jack Kilday. If you'd rather use your own editor than that built
into QBasic, or if you're compiling stand-alone programs, this front end is
worth a look.
[06-27-87]
GIZLIB10.ARC 86870 06-27-87 Misc QBasic 3.0 subroutines/field editor v1.0
A well-documented collection of routines for inclusion in your QuickBASIC
3.0 programs, including such capabilities as drawing boxes and windows,
string formatting, mem functions, system info, dealing with tabs and
blanks, etc. There's also a quite powerful looking field editor routine
for linkage with your programs. Good demo programs included showing how to
use the various capabilities. Source available to contributors.
SETX.ARC 15878 06-27-87 Enhanced SET commnd/interactive/free env w/ASM
There's nothing here that you couldn't do with DOS' own SET command, but
this makes it all a bit easier. Also, when run, this program tells you the
total environment size and the amount free, which can be useful if you're
starting to run out of room.
ZCOMMDOC.ARC 185103 06-27-87 \ Shareware subset of Pro-YAM/C.Forsberg
ZCOMMEXE.ARC 134977 06-27-87 / Multi-protocol support/term emulatns 6/20/87
ZCOMMHLP.ARC 93867 06-27-87 \ Powerful/complex/X/Y/Z/WXmodem/Kermit/more
No update notes, but I assume the changes track those that have been made
recently to DSZ and Pro-YAM, which are largely pretty technical and minor.
There is now an enhanced version of ZCOMM for registered users, with a few
additional capabilities (like a larger review buffer). As it stands, ZCOMM
is anything but crippleware. There are more capabilities in this program
than 99.9% of us would ever use (assuming we could figure them all out).

CPT_V220.ARC 26586 06-27-87 File tree copy utility, many options v2.2
DIR_V220.ARC 21885 06-27-87 Dir util/recursive tree lists/many optns v2.2
DLT_V220.ARC 22322 06-27-87 Delete tree/remove files & subdir v2.20
All 3 of these programs are quite good --- I just happen to have others
that I prefer for each of the tasks. They all share a common command
syntax with regard to selection criteria and the capabilities are quite
extensive. But, I'd rather use PCOPY or COPYTREE rather than CPT and PDEL
or FILER221 rather than DLT. The dir program is really a weak link and
seems to be here just to complete the set. This shouldn't sound as
negative as it does. As I said, these are good programs.
LP13.ARC 14769 06-27-87 Page-print util like Unix lpr/line #s, headers
Just a simple page-print util that happened to come over USENET and is
somewhat reminiscent of the similar Unix 'lpr' program, but there are much
more sophisticated programs of this type on the system.
TPUUDCDE.ARC 29662 06-27-87 Decode "uuencoded" files (encode, too) w/TPas
Because the Unix 'news' software doesn't handle binaries very gracefully,
the files are often "uuencoded" when transmitted over USENET. This arc
contains MS-DOS programs to decode and encode binary files in the standard
uuencode format. Turbo Pascal source included.
MLINK11.ARC 34301 06-27-87 External module for MegaLink transfers v1.1
No update notes. Still doesn't set a non-zero errorlevel on aborts so
useless for BBS applications.
QEDIT136.ARC 98253 06-27-87 Quick text EDITor, WS-Like,Multi-file v1.36a
06-27-87 Fully configurable, very fast/among the best!
U/L & written by Sammy Mitchell. As the description says, QEDIT is one of
the best text editors on this system. Extensively reviewed here before,
the changes in this release are:
- Updates finally consolidated to the manual.
- Several bug fixes, including:
1) incorrect handling EGA boards running in monochrome mode
2) incorrect handling of tabs
3) allow high order and foreign character sets to be entered
4) The find command inconsistent "beeping" has been fixed.
5) The program has been optimized with Turbo Power's Optimizer, making
it a full 9k smaller.

TC-DBF.ARC 21109 06-26-87 Turbo C functions for accessing dBASE files

he thought these routines were very good. What more need be said?
TRAV.ARC 34416 06-26-87 Traverse subtree executing list of cmds/MS-C
U/L & written by Bill Mayne. Contains several programs actually, including
one that will walk down a subdir tree executing a list of commands, another
that displays subdirs of the current dir, one that will remove your current
dir if empty (and move you to the parent dir), and finally a killfile
program that willtake multiple filename specs on the command line and
delete 'em all without confirmation (careful!). Complete MS-C 4.0 source
included.
ADVBAS34.ARC 119371 06-26-87 Hanlin's asm LIBrary v3.4 for QuickBASIC
U/L & written by Tom Hanlin. This is the last shareware version of Tom
Hanlin's excellent collection of functions for QuickBASIC programming.
There will, according to Tom, soon be a commercial successor called ProBas.
While I'm sorry to see ADVBAS leave the ranks of shareware, I have no
hesitation in wishing Tom the best in his new endeavor and in adding my
thanks for all of the hard work he has put into ADVBAS.
Update notes for this version:
A bug in GETSCREEN and PUTSCREEN dealing with monochrome adapters has
been fixed. Two programmer's aids have been added. These operate on
files in interpreted BASIC format-- every line with a line number.
COMBLINE will combine lines for maximum density. XREF will provide a
cross reference of variables or line numbers.
KERM229C.ARC 71646 06-26-87 MS-Kermit file xfer/term emul pgm. ver 2.29c
U/L by Francis Sullivan. This is a pre-release of what will become v2.30
of MS-Kermit. The arc contains the executable and update notes only.
Familiarity with MS-Kermit is assumed. Changes I noticed included support
for long packets (but not sliding windows), network support, errorlevels
for batch file usage, and better terminal emulations.

from v4.00 which was on this system. This is the series of benchmark test
programs that PC Mag uses to evaluate products for their reviews.
BLKBK331.ARC 102461 06-26-87 Addrss book/labels/dBase/MM/PC-File cmpat 3.31

sophisticated lookup program and new info about systems can also be added
(comments, etc.).

BOYAN-D2.ARC 192646 06-25-87 Justin Boyan's excellent comm program v.D-2
06-25-87 Full docs, many protocols, & more 06/87
U/L by Alan Samuels. BOYAN lacks terminal emulation (which happens to be a
problem for me) but it's an excellent program for BBS calling. Speed,
protocol support and user-interface (argh, jargon) are all very good and
there's a built-in file manager in BOYAN that has no equal in any other
comm program. There are quite a few new features in version D-2 (the third
release of this program), including:
--- Better routines to initialize the comm ports (apparently a
problem on some machines with D-1);
--- Transfer efficiency reporting;
--- Call logging;
--- Very clever support for external protocol transfer modules
(such as DSZ.EXE, PCKERMIT and the like) with the ability to set all
necessary parameters, including command line options to the program, in
Boyan's configuration section. Batch files are not used;
--- Default protocols associated with each dialing dir entry;
--- A new, user-definable macro that can automatically execute
after each loss of carrier;
--- Quite a few new macro and script commands.
NOTE: There's a bug in the way BOYAN D-2 handles ANSI color sequences that
causes it to blink many lines that don't have that attribute set. It's
VERY distracting and a bug I hope Justin Boyan will attend to soon. I also
can't get this version to accept a wildcard spec for a Zmodem send even
though the docs now say that's possible. And, finally, if you don't give
it the name of the file for a Zmodem download (and you shouldn't have to
and won't want to for a batch download), Boyan declares the transfer
unsuccessful when it was not. That's just cosmetic but ...

U/L by [??? -- lost the record] "PAMPHLET is a printing utility to help
keep your hardcopy printouts, listings, etc neatly and in a more managable
size. It lists a text file to the HP Laser Jet in the landscape mode and
places 2 pages side by side. These pages are not printed sequentially, but
in the order required to create a small manuscript or pamphlet."
DISKBUFF.ARC 21982 06-24-87 Calculate optimum buffers for config.sys

LAB10.ARC 66224 06-23-87 Little Address Book appt/NAD/DB v.1.0
U/L by Brian Miller. First release of a colorful, easy-to-use name and
address database system. The files are plain ascii (indeed, mailmerge
format) and the program itself seems clean and powerful enough. Not as
advanced at the moment as others like CARDEX, LITLBOOK or BLAKBOOK.
DISCACHE.ARC 8907 06-23-87 Base, LIM, AT disk cache - very fast,small
U/L by Mike Focke. This disk cache program can use conventional, extended
or expanded memory (or any combination thereof). It won't cache devices
that are loaded via drivers in CONFIG.SYS (which happens to be true of the
BBOX on this machine) so I only tried it in regular memory on an XT clone.
It seemed to work just fine and was quite fast.

TXT2COM&.ARC 8839 06-22-87 Convert TXT to full scrn COM w/color;KPGraham
U/L by Bob Weinstein. This is a winner -- the best of the various programs
in this genre that I have seen. Like others, TXT2COM converts an ascii
text file into a COM file (thus README.COM can be executed, rather than
typing README.TXT). But, TXT2COM has good scrolling capabilities (home,
end, page up/down, line up/down), allows colors and other attributes to be
set for the text to be displayed and even allows the COM file to be
exported back to a text file or sent directly to the printer. All this in
a well-documented, easy-to-use program. I wish anything I did that was
"quick and dirty" came out this well.

U/L by Scott Pazur. The major change is that LARK can now selectively call
on PKXARC to extract files in addition to piping them to LIST for viewing.
Update notes:
Version 2.0, released 7 JUN 87 -
- Maintain record pointer and scroll position when returning
to LARK after viewing a file.

DSZ0618.ARC 42505 06-19-87 Forsberg's X/Y/Zmodem transfer module 6/18/87
U/L by Mike Focke. There's good news and bad news about this version of
DSZ. The good news -- especially for Sysops like me who are running
multi-node systems -- is that DSZ now supports DOS 3.x file sharing. The
lack of SHARE support in the past has led to some rather clumsy collision
avoidance schemes on this and other boards and I thank Chuck for adding it.
DSZ also has a send buffer so that it won't go to disk so often when
sending a file. It's configurable and is set by adding pBxxxx to the
command line (.e.g pB4096 for a 4K buffer). The docs seem to say that the
buffer will work for receives as well but I see no evidence of that.
The not-so-good news is that this version of DSZ takes over 100K of
memory to run, whereas earlier versions took around 60K. If you're
shelling to DSZ from another program and get an "Abnormal program
termination" message, chances are you didn't have enough memory available.
I don't know why this new version of DSZ takes so much more memory. I can
only guess that it has to do with the fact that it is now compiled with
Turbo C. I hope at some point Chuck will figure out how to reduce the RAM
requirements. In the meantime, I've left DSZ0529.ARC on the board for
those of you who may wish to continue to use that version.
DSZ has become shareware with this release. If you use DSZ, I hope
you'll support it as it has made a very valuable contribution to the file
protocol arsenal available on this and other BBS systems.
FM32.ARC 30736 06-19-87 Fat Mngr v3.2/modify FAT/mark/unmark bad sect
U/L by Mike Focke. Functions include:
a. List all clusters on the target disk by type (bad,
occupied or unused), with corresponding logical sector
numbers.
b. Display the status of a cluster or sector, including
which file or subdirectory (if any) occupies it.
c. Enter numbers and display results in either decimal, hex,
or octal.
d. Make unused clusters bad or reserved, so DOS will not use
them.
e. Make bad or reserved clusters good, available for use
again.
f. List all changes made to the FAT during a session.
I happen to use the OWNER, CHAIN, MARK and LISTB to do much the same as the
above, but this seems fine as well.

excellent text search utility. Version 1.45 no longer requires delimiters
on the command line for the text to be found unless the target text
contains spaces or tabs, begins with a non-alphanumeric character or
contains a DOS redirection character. Thus, instead of FGREP "TEXT"
FILES.*, you can leave out the quotes. That's a change several of you on
this system suggested (and one I happen to like as well!). There is also a
new -L (line numbers) switch. Chris also indicates this version may be
25-30% faster than 1.40 (which was no slouch). One of the best of the
grep/find type programs on this system, and the one I personally use most
often.

OV143A.ARC 78436 06-17-87 \ OverView file maintenance (sweep) util (EXE)
OV143B.ARC 165888 06-17-87 / Excellent, powerful, HD manager v1.43 (SRC)
U/L by Fran Horvath. OVERVIEW 1.02 was already an excellent file
management/ sweep utility. From the update notes, 1.43 has managed to add
some significant improvements. Some of the new features:
* Find string has been added to the VIEW function.
* The ALT-F1 through ALT-F10 keys can be defined to execute any
DOS command. ALT-F1 through ALT-F10 are called User Defined
Keys (UDK).
* A Point-and-Go facility has been added which allows you to
define a DOS command to execute on given files with a specific
extension. When you try to eXecute a file of this type, the
corresponding DOS command is actually executed (presumably with
the current file name as a parameter to the command).
* Several "macros" have been established for DOS commands (OTHER
COMMAND, OTHER XECUTE, Point-and-Go commands, and User Defined
Key commands). The macros allow you to substitute items such
as the current file name, the current directory name, the
current drive, etc on the command line before it is executed.
* OverView now keeps a history of the last ten responses you gave
to its prompts. When you are being prompted for input (say for
a DOS command to be executed) you can use the up arrow key to
recall your previous responses.
The first archive contains the executables and documentation. The second
contains the complete MS-C 4.0 source. This is a shareware program that I
hope you will support if you decide to use it. Having the source available
for a program of this magnitude is awfully rare these days. This kind of
generous contribution to what's available on BBS systems will only continue
with your encouragement.

will sort from standard input to standard output, and so, may be used in
pipes or with redirection. Multiple key fields may be specified. Binary
files with fixed-length records may be sorted, provided only that keys are

TCOMM.ARC 29003 06-16-87 TurboCom Comm Toolbox v1.2/Turbo C tiny model

package, with very good documentation, supports fully interrupt-driven and
buffered communications support on COM1 through COM4. Version 1.2 also has
routines for interfacing with a Hayes or compatible modem. The BBS version
is for the "tiny" model only of the Turbo C compiler; support for other
models is available to registered users. The authors also speak of plans
to implement file transfer routines, but those, too, will go only to
registered users.
SD3.ARC 31473 06-16-87 Enhanced ChDir/can link to [P]CED w/A86 v3.0
U/L & written by Stephen Falatko. This is a major update to Stephen's
program that allows you to change directories without typing the full path.
Of particular note, the program can now become a resident extension of
either Chris Dunford's Command EDitor (CED) or it's enhanced, commercial
version, PCED. Attached to PCED, it takes roughly 3K of RAM and works just
fine. (If not installed in this manner, SD must be in your path and will
be loaded from disk each time it is invoked). SD will search from root or
a specified directory down the tree until it finds a subdir that matches
your spec. You do not need to type the entire path in you change dir
command or even the full name of the subdir. SD will also change drives

keystroke saver. A86 source is included, which will take some minor mods

MAXIRD25.ARC 127862 06-16-87 MAXI-READ v2.5 DELETED: 10 use trial version
PLEASE DO NOT UPLOAD THIS FILE. After 10 uses, it ceases to function
(although you could simply un-arc another copy and start all over). Even
more annoying, it creates a hidden file called IBNBIO.OOM in both the
directory in which you ran the program and in root. There is absolutely no
mention of this hidden file in the documentation.

TSRSRC25.ARC 50215 06-15-87 ASM/PAS source code for TSRCOM v2.5 utilities
U/L by Tom Drinkard. These constitute very minor fixes to Kokkonen's
excellent TSR management utilities. I must admit I'm still using 2.3 as
the recent changes having to do with temporarily disabling TSR's didn't
matter to me. If you're using 2.4, grab the updates. COM & DOC in the

this version can search inside archives. However, SUBA lacks the ability
to perform DOS commands on the files that are found and that's what I find
so valuable about SUB32.

"Xmodem send and receive is now available .... 43 Line Mode is now
supported on EGA equipped systems. Most BBS's can be accessed by turning
off Full Screen Edit. A limited auto-dial function has been implemented.
A Toggle for Echo On/Echo Off has been implemented. On Mono Screens the
Help Screen no longer erases the current screen. On Color Screens, all
three work screens are restored when returning from a Shell to DOS."

DSKCMD.ARC 182516 06-14-87 Desk Commando v1.30 4/28/87 DOS menus,
06-14-87 text editor, sweep, calc, defrag, cal/app
U/L by Loren Olson. This is an incredibly impressive program which I'm not
going to end up using at all. Now to try and explain why ....
First, a brief description of what this is. By the PC-SWEEP
(later COMMANDO) folks, DESK COMMANDO is a sweep utility, a rudimentary
editor (with word wrap), a calculator (several types, actually), an alarm
clock/reminder, an appointment scheduler, a rolodex program, an autodialer
and a screen blanker. All of the above can be used in TSR mode (swallowing
well over 128K of RAM) or not, at your option. When run in non-TSR mode,
this program also has a DOS menu function and -- here's the kicker -- a
complete set of disk utilities a la Norton or Mace including a disk
optimizer, file unerase, disk sort, and disk repair. Pretty impressive
collection, huh?
Now, why I'm not going to use it. I have individual programs I
like better to do each of Desk Commando's functions and there's no synergy
between them. To be plainer about it, what's the logical connection
between a disk optimizer and a rolodex program? That escapes me. To put
all of those functions in one program just doesn't add anything to each and
I can't see loading up this program and wading through its menus to get to
the various capabilities (which then in turn are loaded from an overlay
file on your disk). This is "integration" without purpose, as far as I can
tell.
Oh well, that being said, I do want to make clear that each of the
functions seems to work quite well (I couldn't get the auto-dialer to work
but I didn't try very hard -- it probably needs DTR high at the modem but I
didn't want to bother) , and if you don't have other programs with which
you're happy to do all of the above, give this one a try.
Note: The documentation is VERY limited, with more to registered users. No
big deal. The program is pretty much self-explanatory.
BATMEN41.ARC 131575 06-14-87 Batch Menu operating system v4.01 6/87

deal with the "printer configuration terminal string."

U/L by Bill Walsh.
Quoted without comment (though my tongue hurts from biting it): " GT
PowerComm 12.21 is a bug fix release. It is surprising to me how many bugs
have accumulated from the release of 12.20. There are very few feature
changes in this release: the SYSOP.BBS file has been added to the Host

has been added to the Read Messages sub-menu."
MLINK10.ARC 27251 06-14-87 External module for MegaLink transfers
U/L by Loren Olson. MegaLink is a protocol Paul Meiners has created for
GT. This external module allows you to add MegaLink to any other comm
program, much as you would Zmodem via DSZ.EXE. As best I can tell, it
doesn't set an errorlevel on an aborted transfer so it won't be of much use
in BBS DOORs, though it does monitor carrier. The docs, such as they are,
discuss neither of the above.

soft form feeds. [STDIN] can now be in lowercase. Switched compilers to
Turbo C and generated a .COM file. Improved error messages from very vague
to MSDOS specific messages. Errorlevels are now supported, non-zero on any
disk file failure. Improved documentation per user's request.
TPC14.ARC 38979 06-14-87 Convert Turbo Pascal to C v1.4 5/26/87

Additional support for pascal/MT+. The translator "shifts" into a
MT+ specific mode when it recognizes the 'MODULE' statement. The
'|' operator is recognized for bitwise OR. The '\', '?' and '~'
operators are all translated into a unary not (is this right,
Noam?). Read(ln) and Write(ln) now support the special case of "[]"
for the I/O routine. Long integer literals are translated from
'#nnn' to 'nnnL'.

SUB32.ARC 47609 06-13-87 Find & apply DOS commands to files v3.2 6/87
This program happens to come in handy for me right now. Assume someone
uploads GREAT21.ARC which is an update to GREAT20.ARC. O.K, now I need to
find and erase GREAT20. Well, I can use ANYWHERE with the SET AWDISK
option to search C, D, E and F for the file and then log to that drive,
change to the subdir and (finally) erase the file. Or, (eureeka!), I can
give the command SUB CDEF:\GREAT20.ARC /D and the program will search the 4
drives specified, including all subdirectories, and ask me whether I want
to copy, move, delete, etc. GREAT20.ARC when it finds it. (I could even
turn off the verify option but I'm not that brave). Needless to say, a
[P]CED synonym or BATch file is in order here and I'm using one that's just
SUB CDEF:\%1 /D. Wildcards are accepted, as are multiple filenames, and
you can even use search criteria involving file date, time and attributes.
All in all, a very useful program. Would that it were a bit smaller -- the
EXE is about 50K -- but such is life with a program written in Modula 2
(????). It's quite fast, at least on this AT.
FINDF.ARC 6946 06-13-87 File finder sets E'LVL,does CD to file, w/ASM

rather than telling you where a file is, it moves to that subdir instead.
For interactive use, I think I like PKFIND better which has [J]ump to the
subdir as an option, but this one is particularly useful for batch files
and also comes with source.
NARC.ARC 35713 06-13-87 Mouse/menu-driven point/shoot un-ARC util 1.0
U/L by James Austin. Not my cup of tea, as I prefer command line programs
when possible, but this looks to be a well-implemented arc extract util
that allows you to go from one arc file to another, reading or printing
doc files, and extracting at will. Supports "squash". I suppose if I had
a mouse (other than the one that frequents my kitchen ....). Someone's
gonna have to come up with a better reason to take my hands off the
keyboard than this util. Note: This is a first, "beta" release.

NYWORD22.ARC 200717 06-12-87 \ New York Word v2.2 powerful word processor
NYWPRT22.ARC 40020 06-12-87 / Registrat'n req'd for full doc & spell chckr
U/L and written by Marc Adler. It's very hard for someone who is already
addicted to one word processor to review another. There's also a learning
curve involved to become proficient and that's just beyond the time I have
to give to this task. With those caveats ...
NY Word v2.2 looks to be a major upgrade to Marc's already quite
powerful word processor. This is really the only full-fledged program of
this type on the system that has most of the features of the high-priced
commercial programs (even footnotes, tables of contents and indexing).
Major enhancements in 2.2 include a new system of pulldown menus to
help you out when you can't remember a command (there's also on-line help).
The menus are nicely done. They'd be even more helpful to me if they
followed PC-Outline's example of showing you the control or alt key command
at the same time they allowed you to execute the command from the menu
(thus, listing Alt-J next to the Justify Line option on the menu would help
me learn the faster command more quickly).
Other changes include support for many more printers and you can
convert PC Write printer def files for NYW. Proportional spacing and
microjustification are also supported. And, in general, the program feels
faster and cleaner. The docs indicate that a better memory allocation
scheme has been used and that saving of files is faster.
What's included is certainly sufficient to give you a fair shot at
using this program and seeing if you're comfortable with it. The
documentation that comes with the BBS version, while still rough, is a vast
improvement over what came with earlier versions. Registered users are
promised enhanced documentation, a spelling checker, a mail-merge program,
and other "utilities." The keyboard remap program, that allows you, for
example, to emulate the WordStar command structure, has not changed in this
version and is in NYWREMAP.ARC.
In sum, this is a powerful, full-featured word processor. If it
meets your needs, it's a helluva bargain at $45 + $2 shipping.

FLENGTH.ARC 28176 06-11-87 Calc field lengths from column positions
U/L by Bob Weinstein. "FLENGTH accepts as input pairs of column positions,
typically taken from a record layout, and calculates the length of the

the lengths to be written to a disk file."
GAPEND.ARC 30270 06-11-87 Group append ASCII files into 1 file;T.Lundin

(e.g., DIR *.DOC >DIRLIST). The directory list file can be edited to
produce several groups of larger files from many smaller individual files."
HD2FD.ARC 28815 06-11-87 Split big file onto multiple floppies;TLundin
U/L by Bob Weinstein. " HD2FD allows you to split a large hard disk file
onto multiple floppies. The program will prompt you to change floppies as
files are written. The size of the floppy disk files is user-specified at
run time. Both binary and ASCII text files can be split, with ASCII files
having an option to split at the nearest line terminator."
DCP.ARC 109409 06-10-87 PC to/fr Unix mail program MS-C 3 & ASM + EXE
I didn't have much luck getting this to work, but I don't claim any

UNIX system and send/receive Unix mail. The source code is included.
Documentation is not (it hasn't been left out -- there just isn't any,
other than what amounts to a README). Still, I was pretty sure I had it
set up properly. Be interested to hear if anyone has better luck with
this. There's been talk on USENET of enhanced versions to come. I hope
someone also spends a few minutes writing a how-to!

At a bare minimum, this program takes 80K. With its default settings, it
actally takes about 128K. Ouch. Assuming you have the RAM, what you get
is a TSR spreadsheet that can import from, but not export to, Lotus 1-2-3
.WKS files. Although the program was a little pokey on a standard PC XT,
it does have most of the functionality of the basic spreadsheet functions
of Lotus, and it's easy enough to learn. The BBS version comes without
full documentation (what's here is adequate), the on-line help (a bit more
annoying) or the INSTAMEM.COM program that "lets you vary the worksheet
size" (and thus, presumably, the RAM requirements).

What this does is put the directory of an archive up on your screen. You
can then select a file to read and it uses PKXARC to extract the file and
then pipes it to LIST for viewing. A little judicious mucking around with
the binary editor of your choice will allow you to have it call PKXARC and
LIST by the names you actually use on your system (in my case, XARC and L).

DIFFDD.ARC 10277 06-08-87 Doman's find diff bet 2 txt files,5/24/87
U/L by Pete Olympia. This is a very simple diff util without many of the
options that are in the Unix version or other PC workalikes. But, it's
pretty fast and small. Not sure whether this is really from Dan Doman as
no author's name is in the doc file (such as it is) or in the program.

WINDOW10.ARC 101034 06-08-87 Multi-level windows/screen utils for Turbo C
U/L by Kurt Schelin. " This utility creates incredibly quick multi-level
windows as library calls in Turbo-C programs for IBM PC/XT/AT compatibles.
They work on MDA, CGA, and EGA adapters in any column mode (40/80/etc.).
This utility uses the quick screen writing utilities, also in library form.
Users are encouraged to participate in the free Teamware concept with the
release of these functions. As of this release all of the functions are
available in WINDOW10.LIB. Once the library functions are commented they
will be released as teamware. The Q utilities were transformed from TURBO
PASCAL inline to external assembly using BORLAND's rules.asi macro
assembler header file."
The demo programs are very impressive, indeed, and the promise of the
future release of the source makes this a very interesting package and
worth a look.

FLASHBAK.ARC 115367 06-07-87 Backup Files to Floppies/Menu-driven
U/L by Mike Focke. This was apparently a commercial backup to tape program
that the company has decided to release to BBS systems. Alas, they
provided no documentation and you end up having to hunt around in the
on-line help to figure out what this program does. I found it all a bit
too complicated and lost interest.
QMOUSE10.ARC 6566 06-07-87 MS Mouse Menu for Qmodem SST w. Auto-Dial
U/L by Richard Saeks.
ENVEDRVW.ARC 7555 06-07-87 Review of environment editor programs/R.Moon
U/L & written by Ray Moon. Compares and contrasts 3 programs on this
system that allow you to edit your environment. Also, contains some nice
info about the DOS environment and some helpful tips.
PRTLBL41.ARC 31072 06-07-87 Print repetitive address labels v4.1
Courtesy of CPCUG Software Library. Not bad. Just prints the same label
over and over again. It can do three-across, etc. Output can also be sent
to disk for editing before sending to the printer.
MORTPLAN.ARC 91078 06-07-87 Mortgage planner 2.2 /compare loans/calc payts
Courtesy of CPCUG Software Library. Yet another mortgage calc program,
this one seems well done and takes you through the normal calculations to
see what a mortgage is really going to cost, compare it to other financing
alternatives, etc.

WAMPUM-C.ARC 122767 06-06-87 \ programming language 5/87 Excellent
U/L by Rich Schinnell. WAMPUM was already the best of the dBIII function
clones. The list of new features in v3.1B is makes it even more
impressive:
* Complete multi-user network support using any dBASE file
* NetBIOS-compatible record & file locking network support
* Creation and use of up to 7 B-Tree Indexes per .DBF file
* Global search & replace of 10 data elements in one pass
* Manipulation of any 5 related data bases in form letters
* Index key retrieval for production of single form letters
* Automatic posting of LASTUSER information in data base
* PASSWORD protection system for network environments
* Customized USER configurations for network environments
* Specification of particular fields for use in BROWSE mode
* Simplified file structure modification like dBASE III's
* Multi-drive support for storage of data bases & indexes
* Forced field confirmation with <ENTER>, if desired
* Enhanced documentation outlining many dBASE functions

PCDOC205.ARC 70657 06-06-87 \ Prints regular checks CRIPPLED \ DOC
U/L by Rich Schinnell. That's too bad. This was a good package but the
author has gone and crippled it. The BBS version is limited to 62 monthly
transactions, 30 payees, and 30 search codes. A short timer on this
system. I hope the author will reconsider.
SBICS310.ARC 56733 06-06-87 Small Business Inventory Control v3.10 4/87
U/L by Judy Levine. A fairly rudimentary inventory control system, it may
suffice for quite small businesses. Does all its work in memory, which
produces pretty good speed.

U/L by Judy Levine.
MAKE_LC.ARC 50485 06-06-87 PDMAKE for Lattice C, Atari & Unix 5/31/87
From USENET. There's another version of PDMAKE on this system for MS-C.
Here's one for Lattice but also supposedly compiles for Atari and Unix.

TOUCH_LC.ARC 4984 06-06-87 Lattice C source for "touch" (change date)
From USENET. From the same author as MAKE_LC, a simple 'touch' util to go
along with it.
FBAK20.ARC 4142 06-06-87 Copy files after spec date v2.0 E. Gans 11/86
Interesting. When you run this, the program internally stores the system
time/date and will, on the next run, only copy files created or modified on
or after that time. By no means a full-fledged backup utility, but may
prove useful in some applications.

U/L by Nevin Dubin.
3CT.ARC 8070 06-05-87 Count files, sizes, & totals in subdirs/Doman
U/L by Melvin Douglas. This one happens to give exactly the info I need --
how many files are in each subdirectory and the total size of those
files. It can start at root and traverse down or at a specified subdir.
Simple, but fast and clean.
VOL6N12.ARC 36070 06-05-87 PC Mag. 6/23/87 issue/REMINDER/SPECTRUM ASM
U/L by Thom Carlin. Spectrum is an EGA util. Reminder is a not-bad-at-all
combination alarm clock and reminder program. No docs for either. You'll
need the referenced PC Mag issue.

CSRTURBO.ARC 57370 06-05-87 C Spot Run library for Turbo C/LIB only
U/L by Craig Goodrich. Well, this is a little confusing. CSR_TC.ARC
contains a version of the CSPOTRUN routines ported to Turbo C by Mike
Strock. The original documentation and all of the associated files are
also included. CSRTURBO.ARC contains only the library file and a few notes
but is by Bob Pritchett, the author of CSPOTRUN. If you take this one,
you'll also need CSR20A.ARC.

REVW0587.ARC 45503 06-04-87 Bulletin 1's New File Comments May '87
Quite a few programs that had not been reviewed earlier have now been
included and other changes have been made. The reviews from May have also
been added to InfoDoor (Door 2 on this system).
PDEL2.ARC 30609 06-04-87 Patriquin's Delete util w/select criteria v2
There are selection criteria in this delete utility that just don't exist
in any other, such as delete all files with a date earlier than ..., or
with a size greater than ..., etc. PDEL also deletes directories (even
those with files), can obliterate files so there's no hope of unerasure and
much more. v2 adds color support for the CGA & EGA (uses ANSI.SYS), tells
you how much space is freed by the deletion(s) and total free space before
& after.
WATCHER.ARC 4828 06-04-87 Watchdog enhanced/monitor COM & LPT ports/ASM
U/L by Scott Pazur. For those running a timed event that accesses a
printer, this modified version of WatchDog will re-boot if the printer is
not ready.
GATEWAY.ARC 5719 06-04-87 CTTY driver for BBS use/ echo to local screen
A device driver that installs in CONFIG.SYS and does much the same as CTTY
COMx but also echos the output to the local screen at the same time.

PKFIND11.ARC 10258 06-04-87 File Finder Plus 1.1/Searches in ARCs/P. Katz
U/L by Gerald Price. This is v1.1 of Phil Katz's "whereis" type program
that searches for files. Like 1.0, the capability exists to search inside
of archives for matches. Go get a cup of coffee if you ask it to do that
on a large hard disk. The task is necessarily time consuming.
Fortunately, you can tell it to start at a certain subdirectory rather than
root if you know where the file may be located. Version 1.1 adds a nifty
new capability -- after finding a file that matches your search request,
PKFIND asks More? Yes, No, Jump? Jump means to stop the search and move
you to the directory in which the file was found. Very sensible as that's
often precisely what you want to do after finding a file. Nice program.
TC-PLOT.ARC 1424 06-04-87 Turbo-C plot routines demonstrates inline asm
U/L by Gerald Price. Simple plotting routines in TC showing how to do
inline ASM in that language.

PC-GL30.ARC 50501 06-03-87 \ Medlin's General Ledger v3.0
Jerry Medlin's accounting package won't put the Big 8 out of business, but
these are competent, capable programs. The accounts payable module is new.
The accounts receivable and general ledger modules are updates to programs
already on this system. The collection is rounded out by a payroll manager
that has not been changed (PC-PR14.ARC).
CSR_TC.ARC 192813 06-03-87 CSPOTRUN 2.0 modifed for Turbo C 1.0 small mem
U/L & created by Mike Strock. Mike has taken Bob Pritchett's CSPOTRUN
library, which is for MS-C, and ported it to Turbo C instead. Compiled and
compatible with the "small" memory model of TC.
TAKE1.ARC 7146 06-03-87 Take v1.0 - move files, make dest default dir
U/L by Scott Pazur. Interesting. C:\SUBDIR> TAKE *.ARC C:\ARCFILES will
not only move all the files to your destination dir but make it your
current dir as well, a novel twist on move utils. Too bad it won't allow
you to move to another device.
BT106.ARC 7137 06-03-87 Bootthru 1.06/bypass floppy drive at boot/ASM
U/L by Scott Pazur. This program allows you to boot from the hard disk even

NEW304.ARC 23062 06-03-87 v3.04 of A86 macro assmblr - update file only
U/L by Stephen Falatko. Some minor fixes to the A86 macro assembler, this
is the revised COM file and the update notes only.
DISSOLVE.ARC 1081 06-03-87 Dissolve (slowly clear screen) with ASM
U/L by Mike Miller. Yuk. Kept briefly for the ASM source. A mod to
MELT.COM by Colin Stearman to allow it to work on both mono and color
screens.
ENVED11.ARC 17835 06-03-87 DOS Environment Editor v1.1 (3/28/87) D. Raney
U/L by Mike Miller. We now have at least 3 different screen-oriented
environment editors on the system (see also EE2.ARC and ENVED.ARC which is
not by the same author as ENVED11). Someone want to do a comparison of the
three?
JOBHUNT.ARC 13435 06-03-87 Job Hunting Tracker - in dBASE II -- simple

has been modified again to resolve a compatibility problem with the KEDIT
editor.
ASC-CHAR.ARC 8742 06-03-87 3 large ASCII char sets to paste in screens
U/L by Jeffrey Heynen. Just some BIG letters that you can paste into your
ascii screens.
EE2.ARC 6064 06-03-87 Environment editor v2 Keith Graham 5/31/87
I created a bit of documentation for this one by using LIST to dump part of
the on-line help to a file (how were we to know that F1 brought up the
on-line help?). Anyway, it's an easy to use way to makes changes to
settings in your environment.
ARC521.COM 58368 06-03-87 SEA's ARChive util v5.21 4/22/87 minor changes
I was very tempted to create a real ARC out of this self-extracting COM
file in part because it contains a much older copy of ARCE than is
currently on the system. The changes vs ARC 5.20 don't look major except
for the ability to take indirection for the list of files to be arc'd.
SEA's ARC is the standard and it's quite efficient at producing small
archives (since 5.20, that is), but it's terribly slow compared to Buerg's
ARCA and Katz's PKARC.

[06-02-87]
AOLA105.ARC 74129 06-02-87 ANSI-LA graphc editr/cut/paste/image lib 1.05
U/L by Don Perry. One of the best of the ANSI screen editors, ANSI of LA
has some unique capabilities to save libraries of images that can be
retrieved and pasted into new screens. There is also an option when saving
files to "optimize" the number of ANSI esc seqs used so they'll display
faster (particularly useful for BBS sysops who insist on fancy color
graphics screens <grin>). The list of new features in v1.05 (released
2/14/87) is very long, and included support for BLoad/BSave files, better
block copies, a "BIG LETTERS" option, faster screen writes, and quite a few
more non-trivial fixes and improvements. Worth the update. This is
"commissionware" but the copy on this system is unserialized. Note:
Although this version worked fine on one machine here, it simply locked up
another every time it was loaded (big-red-switch-time). I don't use the
program so didn't spend the time to try to isolate what might be bothering
it. If you have 1.04, I'd suggest you hold onto it until you see if this
new version works for you.
QUBCALC2.ARC 98361 06-02-87 QubeCalc v2.01 3-dimens spreadsheet/limtd vers
U/L by Alan Samuels. A "3-dimensional" spreadsheet with a familiar
Lotus-style menu stucture. v2.01, but no indication as to what's new. BBS
version has abridged documentation, no on-line help and lacks the program
to import 1-2-3 files.

BENCH10C.ARC 16573 06-01-87 Benchmark tests done in TPas w/results/USENET
This is a very good series of screen, disk and memory benchmark tests
written in Turbo Pascal. The COM file(s) -- one regular and one for
machines with math co-processors -- aren't included. These files came over
the Unix network and binaries are rarely posted. I debated putting in
copies I compiled myself but decided against it. Results for many popular
computers are included, as well as for the IBM PS/2 Model 50 and 60. If
you compile and run these on a 4.77MhZ XT, go get a cup of coffee -- it
took over 10 minutes to complete on such a machine. The nice thing is that
it will run them all for you and leave the results sitting on your screen
when you come back.

DELDUP21.ARC 15457 06-01-87 Delete duplicate files w/in 2 dirs w/ASM Buerg
This is a first public release of a new program by Vern Buerg that is a
fast and powerful tool for dealing with duplicate files. DELDUPE compares
any 2 directories that you specify and will, at your option, delete
duplicates in the target dir. Command line options allow you to test what
will happen before actually telling the program to erase anything or to
query you about each file before deleting it. Other options allow deletion
of older or "similar" files instead of true duplicates (which are files of
exactly the same time, date and size). The full ASM source for the program
is included and it is heavily commented, making for a very useful learning
tool from one of the best ASM programmers out there.
Note: I participated in testing of this program.
ARCA127.ARC 12130 06-01-87 Latest ARC builder (5/30/87) V.Buerg/W.Chin
06-01-87 Corrects problem w/packing & adds copying
The last release of ARCA was in September '86, reflecting the stability and
reliability of this program. v1.27 deals with a problem that showed up
once in a blue moon with files that are "packed" and also adds a
no-compression copy routine to deal with files that would grow larger if
compressed.
Note: I participated in testing of this program.

06-01-87 of bad archives;ignores "Squashed" files
As with ARCA127, the changes are very minor and may not affect options that
you even use. From Vern's update notes:
3.0f, 5/31/87 - correct false 'disk full' error message when
using /p (piping) option
- correct failure to extract all files from a
garbled (/g) archive
