DosText is a Public Domain program. Feel free to distribute
it as you see fit.
I hope you find DosText useful, but (DISCLAIMER) I am
in no way responsible for any damages that the use of DosText may
cause. Please be VERY careful when using this program, as it will
directly modify an executable. BACK UP THE .EXE BEFORE RUNNING!
I have tested this program, and have run into no errors, but this
does not mean that the program is bug-free.
DosText will modifies the "This program can not be run in a
DOS session" error you get when running a OS/2 program under DOS.
(It also will modify the PM variant of the error.) Currently, you
can only replace the same number of characters that were originally
there (44 for VIO and 48 for PM) If enough people indicate they
have a need for more, I may make this amount unlimited.
DosText has been tested onn OS/2 2.1 and 1.3 programs, both
VIO and PM. If the program comes back with the question "Unable to
determine type of program, do you want to continue anyway?", and
you say "Yes" and type in something new, it will more than likely
corrupt the file you're DosText'ing. If the text displayed on the
"Current Line" is NOT what it should be, it will probably corrupt
the file you're DosText'ing. (CONTROL-BREAK out of this situation)
Yeah, it sounds like this program is going to go out and start
chopping your EXE's, but it REALLY ( honest! :) ) shouldn't... Just
use a little caution and common sense when using it, and you
shouldn't have any problems.
If you have any questions, comments, ideas, etc, feel free to
contact me. I'm always looking for ways to improve my software!
IV. Other shareware/PD programs to look for:
o ChatterBox - Allows users to send one line messages to
each other across a LAN. Very nice for non-critical
messages. One of the first OS/2 1.3 program to use real
custom animated pushbuttons.
o DeleteDir - A simple full-screen program to delete a
directory and all files/directories that are children to
it.
o ChkPath - Will check the path's you set in your
config.sys, and let you know if you've got problems.
o PWh - Path'ed Where. Will search a path for a file. PWH
will tell you every place it hit's the file. Very useful
for checking what version of a program you using.
o SMPrint - Prints a text file on a HP printer, in
landscape mode.
o MDD - Multiple make directory. MDD will create a
multiple directories (i.e. if you wanted to make
C:\GREG\PROGRAM\SOURCE20\MDD\RELEASE, MDD could do it in
one shot.)
o WHO - Will display information about all users of a
LAN/Domain.
o QWHO - Displays all user ID's currently on a LAN/Domain.
o NetChat - This program allows many users to have Chat
sessions over the LAN. It allows each user to set up
Conference groups and security levels. Each Conference
can have as many users as you want chatting. This is
similar to CompuServer's CB, or a BBS's multi-node chat
area.
o NetMail - Improved net massaging (i.e. "Blue Boxes") This
program gives you better control of system level LAN
messages. You can enter message subjects, set priority
levels, and type in longer messages.
NetMail allows each user to set up their own message
groups, along with global message groups. Each user can
choose which groups to receive messages from, and what
groups to send messages to.
NetMail also let's you choose whether to get the message
in the traditional VIO BlueBox (but better looking!), a
PM Message Box, or to display no message but to retrieve
it at a latter time.
This program makes Net Massaging easier to use, and less
annoying to the recipients.
o VTree - Visual directory tree.
o EDCNFG - PM based program that will verify everything's
okay in your config.sys, keep track/retro changes into
multiple config's, and edit/setup a config.sys
o HPMLib - Library tracking system
o HPMCook - Cooking software
o HPMDiet - Dieting software
