The UNEEDIT collection of utils 12/8/88
Just a note: I AM NOT THE AUTHOR OF ANY OF THESE PROGRAMS!
I wrote the documentation for CPROMPT, but that was gotten out of
PC-WORLD Magazine. I kept the programs with more than 1 necessary file
in ARC form, so you can look over each individually.
Description of use:
-------------------
CALCQF calculates the optimum safe RAM refresh rate for your CPU, and
creates a version of PC-Magazine's Qfresh.com to adjust it.
CORETEST measures the speed and power of your HD, and compares it to
many brands (including CORE's, of course!).
CPROMPT (witch ANSI.SYS or some other ANSI device driver) gives you
a clock in the upper-right hand corner of the screen, and allows you
to colorize all screen text as you wish.
IAU changes the interleave of your HD without having to erase and
restore your HD. Of course, a backup for safety is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
If you have an IBM clone, you may have to run it with the "/compat"
option. Make sure you reboot without any disk cacheing software, or
anything else that might interfere with the HD while this program runs.
(I.e. don't call up Sidekick, PCTools, or any other TSRs)
MAPMEM lists what's loaded into memory, and how much it takes up,
as well as what's free.
PERSPEC.ANS is a shameless advertisement for PHILADELPHIA PERSPECTIVE,
where I'm a Co-Sysop.
RAMIT is for ATs or other 16 bit computers (AT&T 6300s, like mine,
too. Others are listed in the documentation) that might have an 8
bit HD controller (again, listed in the documentation). It loads
the controller information into memory (mine takes up only 5k),
speeding up the HD.
SPEED measures the speed of yuor CPU, and compares it to the PC
and AT speeds.
SYSID lists everything about your computer. 12 pages of DMAs, mouses,
extended/expanded memory, etc. If you want to know if you have it,
this will tell you.
If you find any more recent updates of these utilities, or any others
that you can't live without (I know many of us can't live without Norton
Utilites, or some such things, but PD or shareware only please!) please
call PHILADELPHIA PERSPECTIVE at (215) 677-5765, where I'm a Co-Sysop.
And if you're local, please call anyway, we want users!
