The YX-13.ZIP archive contains several small OS/2 command line utilities
which may be used with YEP to add novelty and functionality. Each program
has it's own small DOC file outlining it's usage, but here is a summary
of the programs included:
DATETIME - this program (previously called DATEFILE) will accept a
quoted string on the command line and replace the @d and
@t, if found, with the current date/time. This could be
used with YEP to import the exact current, local, date
and time into a SIG file, if wanted. (This program has
been updated and now accepts a huge number of
subtitutions on the commandline. Run it with /? to get a
complete list of options). Try the DT-TEST.CMD for
a little demo of some of the possibilities.
GRBQUOTE - this program may be used to output random sections
of a text file. It might be useful for maintaining a
file of quotations from books, or ascii art, to be
used in SIGs or whatever you can imagine. An example
of it's use is given in the default YEP.CFG file.
(the QUOTES file in YX-11.ZIP is an example quotation
file also used in the example - placed in root dir)
K - Need inspiration? Not sure what to write about in your
messages? Normally you would go out and lie in the
grass and gaze at the stars awaiting your muse, but
it's cloudy and all your grass died?? Fear not. Just
run this script and gaze away! Ok, it has nothing to
do with YEP, but what the hell. It's pretty. (-:
MOONDAYS - this program will simply report the current "age"
(or "phase") of the moon. In the default YEP.CFG
is an example custom header which uses it. (this
program has flaws. It had particular calcuation
problems during february 1996. A new program,
POM, has been put together; it is more accurate
and gives more data. See below).
PIGSAY - A simple Pig Latin filter. It's not very sophisticated.
POM - this is an adaptation of the unix POM (Phase of
Moon) program. It will report the physical
description of the moon in it's current state
and the percentage of full that it is.
REP-REXX - a text search/replace script. Searched for and replaces
text in text files. Used as an example for YEP blocks.
ROT13 - Simple ROT13 REXX script. Uses Standard input/output.
Can be used with YEP "block processing" to encode
ROT13 in your messages, if your text editor doesn't
support it.
SHAKES - this is a "shakespearean insult generator" and outputs
'shakespearean' sounding insults (using words from the
plays). Use your imagination with this one. (-;
SCOOTER - this has nothing to do with YEP, and in fact can't
be used with YEP. I was forced to include it by a
huge curly moose with voodoo powers! I obey, master.
YPENC - YEP Password Encyrpter. See the YPENC.DOC
