DosPlus2.DOC
by
Bill Beogelein
DosPlus adds additional commands to the Amiga's CLI. Add the following files
to the `c' directory of your WorkBench disk and they will be available from
CLI at any time. The descriptions listed below are expressed in terms of
parameters `passed' and values `returned'. Square brackets `[]' mark
optional information, a vertical bar `|' represents any ONE of several
choices allowed. Execute commands from CLI ONLY by entering command name
and the parameter[s] as shown. Entering just the command will list the
`Usage' template giving additional guidelines.
1) LOCK 5) PRINT
2) UNLOCK 6) COL
3) AREACODE 7) PREF
4) TIMER 8) FIXED
The original author offers these programs as `ShareWare'. Feel free to
distribute them via user groups, BBS's, etc.

This support along with your suggestions will allow bug fixes, and updates
for this and future software.

1) Usage: LOCK filename [filename] ...
Pass any filename[s], protects from deletion.
Allows wildcard search of current directory,
`?' matches any single character.
Either `#?' or `*' matches any number of characters.
2) Usage: UNLOCK filename [filename] ...
Pass any filename[s], unprotects, permitting deletion
with CLI `delete' command.
Allows wildcard search of current directory,
`?' matches any single character.
Either `#?' or `*' matches any number of characters.
3) Usage: AREACODE ### | state [###... ST ...]
a) Pass United States, Canada, or Mexico area code,
returns geographic location.
b) Pass 2 letter state name, returns all area codes
used in that state.
Supports '?' wildcard to match any single character.
4) Usage: TIMER [n] (n=cents per minute)
a) Without a parameter, TIMER starts counting up
from 00:00:00 in format hh:mm:ss.
b) Entering optional amount in cents per minute of
on-line service charge or phone rates, counts time
and total dollar amount per minute.
Example: If on-line service charge cost 10 cents per
minute and phone call cost 3 cents per minute, entering
`TIMER 13' counts hours, minutes, seconds, and continual
running cost while online.
Clicking the `[o]' gadget resets time and cost to zero.
5) Usage: PRINT [-quiet] filename
Click gadgets for desired printer set-up, prints text
filename. Allows draft/compressed mode, emphasized mode,
subscript mode, line spacing, skip n lines over each
paper perforation. Your printer must support these
modes. RUN PRINT filename immediately returns
control to user while multitasking PRINTs file.
Using option -quiet prints filename using default
settings only. PRINT V2.0 and later allows user to
set defaults in ASCII form in file s:".PRINT.setup".
(See sample.)
6) Usage: COL 60 | 80
Pass either 60 or 80 for desired column display. Run

column size only.
7) Usage: PREF [-color] DEF | SHOW | LOAD | SAVE | [filename]
Resets preferences to DEFault, LOADs last saved, or
specified `filename' usually in drawer `sys:devs/'. This
allows your choice of several different `system-configuration'
files to be activated without running Preferences.
-c + option affects only color settings.
PREF DEF Reset preferences to default
PREF SHOW Shows current preference settings
PREF LOAD Reset preferences to last saved
PREF SAVE Saves preferences in sys:devs/System-Configuration
PREF -c DEF Reset only default colors

PREF SHOW mysetup Shows preferences in file named mysetup
PREF LOAD mysetup Reset preferences to data in file named mysetup
PREF SAVE mysetup Saves preferences in file named mysetup
PREF -c SHOW mysetup Shows color info in file named mysetup
PREF -c LOAD mysetup Reset color info to file named mysetup
PREF -c SAVE mysetup Saves color info in file named mysetup
8) Usage: FIXED infile outfile [32] [200]
Pass inbound and outbound filenames, deletes all binary
characters as defined by CLI C/Ed editor.
Corrects C/Ed's maximum number of characters per line
restriction.
Converts Carriage Returns to LineFeeds.
Optional ASCII value replaces all binary characters with
desired character.
Optional line length inserts line feeds every n
characters.
