       ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

       This text  file contains a  list of all  YossiWare products, with
       not-too-brief overview  of each. The  products that are  included
       are either released, or in late beta stage.





       DVCOPY (Latest: 2.00;  Next: unknown)
       ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

       DVCopy is  a file copying  utility, that is  built to work  under
       DESQview.  It  combines  many  features  that  are  handy  to any
       DESQview User,  while some of  them are unique  revulotionary and
       exciting features, never seen in other programs.

       DVCopy's top  feature is its ability  to read/write floppy drives
       without causing a complete slow-down  on all other tasks. It does
       this in  several levels of protection,  so you can find  out what
       fits you best.

       Also,  DVCopy is,  unless disabled,  fully share  aware. It  will
       open  files at  the most  flexible, yet  safe way.  It will  also
       recognize when  a specific file is  locked, and will try  to open
       it a few times,  until it will skip it, and go  to the next file.
       When all  files are copied,  it will go  back to that  individual
       file, and retry to open it one more time.

       Registered versions of DVCopy  have another useful feature, which
       is 4DOS/NDOS  compatibility. On a registered  DVCopy, you can let
       DVCopy copy  the file's 4DOS/NDOS  description together with  the
       file  itself. Also,  you can  instruct DVCopy  to MOVE  files. It
       will use  fast-move when possible.  You may also  instruct DVCopy
       to display a  progress indicator, that lets you  know how much of
       the file was being copied yet.  In addition, DVCopy can be set to
       prompt, when the traget file is already found, and more.

       This combination  of features, together  with the fact  DVCopy is
       written  to be  small and  effective, and  is using  16-bit 80286
       Assembly, makes  it the best utility  for copying under DESQview,
       as well as for other multiuser or multitasking environments.





       SMASTER (Latest: 3.05;  Next: unknown)
       ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

       SMaster is  a deluxe files-lister for  RemoteAccess, SuperBBS and
       QuickBBS  based systems.  It supports  QFV (DISP)  and SuperBBS's
       extended description  lines, and will  process them correctly  on
       all  operations. SMaster  comes in  two versions  of executebles,
       8-bit XT  version, and 16-bit  80286 Assembly version,  optimized
       for  speed  and  size.  In  addition,  SMaster  is fully DESQview
       and  share aware,  and can  work  on  a MultiLine  BBS without  a
       problem.

       SMaster   can   create   AllFiles,   NewFiles,  MissingFiles  and
       OrphansList. Using  security-range coverage, you  can choose what
       areas to  list, and what  areas to drop  from lists. SMaster  can
       add a summary at the end  of your lists, with total files listed,
       bytes listed,  offlines etc. Local summary  (and header) for each
       and  every area  is supported  as well,  and can  be, optionally,
       turned on.

       Using  SMaster, you  can configure  the way  your lists will look
       like. You  can make them  colored with ANSI-Sequences,  with your
       favorite color  set. You can make  them ready-to-be-printed, with
       page-cuts, form-feeds, and optional headers.

       You  may  have  your  allfiles  alphabetically  sorted,  or  have
       SMaster  put a  default description   line on  all files  with no
       description. You  can set a  list of files,  to be excluded  from
       Oprhnas-list,   or    have   SMaster   remove    (or   add)   all
       download-counters attached to begining of description.

       All  this,  and  much  more,  makes  SMaster  the best choice for
       generating  files-lists  on  RemoteAccess,  SuperBBS  or QuickBBS
       systems, especially if using  any of DISP's well-known QFV-Series
       products.





       MULTICHAT (Latest: 1.00;  Next: 2.00)
       ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

       MultiChat  is a  split-screen multi-line  online chat  system for
       the RemoteAccess based BBS. It  works  as  a keyboard to keyboard
       chat, works very fast, and supports up to 4 nodes simultaneously.

       Using its powerful configuration,  you can define almost anything
       concerning  MultiChat. You  can set  it to  inform about incoming
       online messages, the moment they arrive, or have it ignore them.
       You can  give your users  unlimited time to  be on MultiChat,  or
       instruct MultiChat  to check their  time-limit, and quit  when it
       exceeds. You can  instruct MultiChat how many windows  to draw on
       the  screen, so  you won't  have wasted  space on  the screen. In
       addition, you can even set all colors MultiChat uses.

       For the  users themselves, MultiChat is  even more friendly. Each
       user  writes  in  a  separate  window,  and  many users can write
       simultaneously,  without having  any conflict.  All windows  have
       both  automatic word-wrapping,  and line  scrolling, which  makes
       writing much easier.

       In addition,  MultiChat offers many  other handy features.  Users
       can list all users that are  online, on all lines, no matter what
       they are  doing. The users can  also send online messages  to any
       user on  any line, as  well as receive  online messages that  are
       waiting.

       MultiChat  is  also  capable  of  letting  one  user "whisper" to
       another, while all other users will  not even be able to know the
       user whispered  anything, and of  course, without any  other user
       actually  see the  whisper. Users  are also  capable of  clearing
       their chat-window, redrawing the screen  (in case of noise on the
       line), being informed of the exact time left they have, and more.

       MultiChat can  be used on  cases when all  nodes are on  the same
       machine (using a  multitasker), when a LAN is  used, or when both
       methods are combined!





       OFL [ONLINE FILES LISTER] (Latest: 1.00; Next: unknown)
       ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

       OFL  is an  online files  lister. Unlike  all other  AllFiles and
       NewFiles files listers available  today, which work offline, once
       in  a period,  and build  a hard-coded  lists, customized  by the
       Sysops, OFL is very flexible.

       First, OFL  runs online, as  a door. It  creates the files  lists
       online, and therefore its lists are the most updated.

       OFL is very flexible with both  hardware and software. It is very
       well-behaved  under DESQview,  is built  to work  under MultiLine
       systems,  does  not  require  any  ANSI  or  AVATAR  driver,  and
       supports many of the software standards.

       OFL  will let  your users  choose what  areas to  list, using  an
       advanced user interface, comparing to  other doors. It will allow
       you to define  if local summary for each area  will be added, and
       if a global  summary for all areas listed will  be added. It will
       let you  to define if  the output files  will have colors  (using
       ANSI  sequences), and  can also   let the  user decide,  and even
       select what  colors to use.  The same goes  for the stripping  of
       download counters,  and formatting the output  files for printing
       on a printer (putting headers, FormFeeds etc).

       You can define  up to 5 types of archives,  that OFL will let the
       users  use in  order to  compress the  output files. In addition,
       OFL lets  you define what will  be the name of  the output files,
       and where exactly  they will be located. You  can instruct OFL to
       add a banner to your newfiles  and/or allfiles list. OFL can also
       put this, or a different banner  on the archived file itself! You
       may also  let it check the  time and download limit  of the user,
       and warn if not enough time/KB is left for downloading the file.

       OFL,  as  a  lister,  is  very  configurable  as  well.  You  can
       configure  the  strings  it  will  use,  for  stating  a  file is
       offline, for default description, and many others.

       All this,  and more. OFL  can be used  on multinode BBSes,  as it
       will  take all  precautions against  internode conflicts.  OFL is
       fully   SHARE   aware.   You    can   instruct   OFL   to   build
       DISP/FileDoor<tm> compatible tag files,  to make your user's life
       easier.





       AVTHELP (Latest: 0.10;  Next: Unkown)
       ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

       AVTHelp  is a  very simple  yet useful  program. All  it does  is
       verifying that  every ANS file has  a compatible AVT file.  If it
       find no  AVT, or an  AVT which is  older than the  ANS itself, it
       reports about it in a log file.

       This  is very  helpful when  changing screens,  and forgetting to
       convert the newly generated ANSI files to AVATAR.





       MAILCHECK (Latest: 1.00;  Next: 1.10)
       ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

       MailCheck is a small and simple program, meant for use during the
       daily mail-processing event.

       MailCheck will scan the Hudson message base (MSG*.BBS) and/or the
       Fido/Opus style (*.MSG) NetMail directory for new unread mail for
       a specific user  (You!), and report about  messages found in your
       mailer's log.

       It is useful  to all of us, who read  their log files, and expect
       to find there info about what  happened on the last days, as well
       as what mail is waiting.

       MailCheck  is  capable  of  writing  into  either  FrontDoor  (RA
       Compact) or OPUS (RA Extended) log types, thus
       seems like an  integrated part in your mail  system. MailCheck is
       also  capable  of  handling  RemoteAccess's  Message Base sharing
       scheme, and can  use your lastread pointer to  determine where to
       start scanning - thus scanning much faster!

       When  scanning   the  NetMail  directory,   MailCheck  recognizes
       messages that  were written on InterNet,  and passed into FidoNet
       via a UUCP gateway. Then, it  scans the message text, and reports
       in the log who wrote the message originally on InterNet.





       DPMITEST (Latest: 1.00;  Next: unknown)
       ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

       During some  work on using  the DPMI services,  I came up  with a
       simple   routine  (actually,   a  simple   interrupt  call)   for
       identifying DPMI versions and capabilities.

       DPMITEST  is  actually  this  routine,  which  will  let you know
       whether or not an DPMI host is  loaded on your machine. If one is
       found, it will  also display its version, the  ability to support
       32-bit programs,  and the processor  type (according to  the DPMI
       host).
