- PROGRAM PALETTE.EXE NOW BEING LOADED
- Copyright : Robert Ossowski 1992
-
- This program requires about 3K Bytes of memory and will remain
- installed until you enter its name again at the DOS command level.
- If no other program has replaced the int(9) interrupt handler since
- it was loaded it will then remove itself from memory. EGA/VGA must
- be the active video system for this program to run. When loaded the
- sixteen palette registers are initialized to the DOS default values.
-
- To run as a TSR, the call-up code may be entered as a command option
- or entered at program sign-on (i.e. PALETTE /09). Code entered must
- be two decimal digits. Press the HOT keys to call the program for
- setting new system color palette register values.
-
- Valid HOT key codes : * 05 = Ctrl & right Shift keys
- * 06 = Ctrl & left Shift keys
- * 09 = Alt & right Shift keys
- * 10 = Alt & left Shift keys (Default Code)
-
- You may run this program in the Non-TSR mode by entering the command
- option "/" with nothing following (i.e. PALETTE /).
-
- Program Functions: To set new color palette.
-
- Down arrow . = down one color Left arrow .. = left one color
- Up arrow ... = up one color Right arrow . = right one color
- Page down .. = down palette page Home ........ = get default palette
- Page up .... = up palette page End ......... = save palette change
- Esc ........ = restore previous palette
- Mouse motion = duplicates Arrow Keys
- Left button = "Esc" key Both buttons . = "Home" key
- Right button = "End" key

- * PROGRAMMER'S CALCULATOR *
-
-
- * CALC.EXE * A pop-up programmer's calculator with decimal, hex,
- octal, and binary base conversion, bit shifting, and logical operator
- functions. It has a 32-Bit number representation and supports two
- decimal place integer arithmetic calculations. Screen location may be
- changed using the arrow keys. Position is retained until the program
- is unloaded or moved again.
-
-
- This routine is a "TSR" (Terminate and Stay Resident) program. Once
- loaded, it can be called up by pressing the "HOT" keys. If it was
- already loaded, and you select to reload, it will attempt to unload
- itself from memory. It can only do this if it was the last "TSR" type
- program loaded. If it can't unload, it will just ignore any reload
- attempts. It occupies approximately 4.5K Bytes of memory. The "HOT"
- keys are selectable at program sign on or with the load command. To
- assign at load time, entering command option (i.e. CALC /8), assigns
- the "Alt" and "Esc" keys for callup.
- Valid codes as follows * 1 = right Shift & Esc keys *
- * 2 = left Shift & Esc keys *
- * 4 = Ctrl & Esc keys *
- * 8 = Alt & Esc keys (Default) *
-
- To run the calculator in the Non-TSR mode, enter the command option
- "/" with nothing following (ie. CALC /).
-
- Mixed-base calculations are supported, and the +,-,*, and / func-
- tions are conventional. Beware, though, of only integer mode calcu-
- lations. Your fractions disappear, except in fixed two place decimal.
-
-
-
- * CALC.EXE * Functions *
-
- * Arrows * Re-locatable pop-up screen position using arrow keys.
- * F1 * Pressing F1 successively cycles through the different
- base conversions of the number on the entry line.
- * F2 * This key toggles fixed two place decimal on and off.
- * F3 * Performs logical AND on current and next number entered.
- * F4 * Performs logical OR on current and next number entered.
- * F5 * Performs logical XOR on current and next number entered.
- * F6 * Performs logical NOT(invert) on the current entry.
- * F7 * Performs BIT shift left on current entry.
- * F8 * Performs BIT shift right on current entry.
- * F9 * Changes the sign of current entry.
- * F10 * Clears the entry line.
- * Shift-F10* Clears the calculator.

-
- * DOS COMMAND FUNCTIONS & EDIT *
-
-
- * DOSCOMM.EXE * This is a TSR type program. That is when run it will
- load itself in memory and stay there until it is unloaded.
-
-
- This program requires only 3.5K Bytes of memory and will remain
- loaded until you enter its name again or the system is re-booted.
- To load the program type in "DOSCOMM" at the DOS prompt or put this
- command into your autoexec.bat file.
-
-
- The program functions include the following :
-
- * Assign a command or a series of commands to the function keys.
-
-
- * Edit keys enabled on DOS command line as follows.
- Back Space, Insert, Delete, Home, End, Left Arrow, and Right Arrow
-
-
- * Storage and scroll through of last 15 commands entered using the
- up arrow and down arrow keys or mouse movement. Just scroll to the
- desired command and press "Enter" key or right mouse button. Since
- commands executed by function keys are always available they are
- not saved in the recall buffer.
-
- * Function keys F11 and F12 set new screen colors.
-
-
- * To edit the command list for keys F1 thru F10, enter "DOSCOMM /n"
- at the DOS prompt. The current list will be displayed for editing.
- The last character of a command is required to be a " ", space or a
- "#", pound. The " ", Tells DOS to wait for a command option entry.
- The "#", tells DOS to execute the command immediately. All string
- commands must end with a "#", except the last in string.

- ON-LINE DOS DOCUMENTATION AND PROGRAM HELP
-
-
- * PROGRAM DOSHELP.EXE * (DOSHELPM.EXE For Mono System)
-
- This is a "TSR" program that requires approximately 4K Bytes of
- memory and will remain installed until you enter its name again at the
- DOS command level. If no other program has replaced the DOS int(9)
- interrupt handler since it was loaded, it will then remove itself from
- memory. You should make an entry in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file so DOS will
- automatically load this program on system boot. To assign call-up keys
- at load time add the command option ( /code). The command (DOSHELP /3)
- assigns code three (Both Shift Keys).
-
- The program may be run from the DOS command line in a Non-TSR mode
- by entering the command option "/" with nothing following
- (ie. DOSHELP /). You will be presented with a list of available files
- for name entry.
-
- ALL Help files MUST be stored in the directory from which program
- DOSHELP.EXE will be loaded. Files created using DOSHELP.EXE will be
- stored in its originating directory.
-
- When called from within any text based application program, DOSHELP
- .EXE checks for a help file with the same filename as the application
- programs filename. If one exists it will be loaded, else you are asked
- if one should be created. While viewing a help file you may add new
- pages using the "Ctrl-A", or "Insert" keys or delete pages using the
- "Delete" key. The currently loaded file and current file page will
- be retained for subsequent call-ups while the current application is
- running. This allows adding an applications screen display to a help
- file, removing un-wanted pages, or creating your own help files.
-
- When called with the Alt key, and "HOT" keys pressed, it lists all
- the help files available and prompts for a new file name entry to
- display. Name entries are a maximum of eight characters as defined by
- DOS.
-
- The Default "HOT" Keys are Both Shift Keys. Others may be assigned
- as listed below. Pressing these keys, will call the program to view a
- previously selected help file, or load a new help file for viewing.
-
- * "HOT" Key Codes Available * Code 3 = both Shift keys (Default keys)
- * Code 5 = Ctrl and right Shift keys
- * Code 6 = Ctrl and left Shift keys
- * Code 7 = Ctrl and both Shift keys

-
- ON-LINE DOS DOCUMENTATION AND PROGRAM HELP
-
-
-
- Files MUST be in a screen dump format as created by this program
- or with EDIT.EXE, the text editor supplied in the RO-SOFT package. Two
- file formats are supported by this program. With (.CLP), and without
- (.HLP) color information. The files created by this program may be of
- either type.
-
- The ".HLP" file does not contain screen color information. Pages
- added or inserted in this file do not retain screen color. Each page
- added increases file size by 2K Bytes.
-
- The ".CLP" type file does contain screen color information. Pages
- added or inserted in this file will retain and display the original
- screen colors. Each page added to this file increases file size by 4K
- Bytes.
-
-
-
- DOSHELP.EXE : Functions as follows :
-
- * Supports both mono and color text help screens
- * "HOT" Keys calls program to display current, or new help file
- * "Alt" & "HOT" keys calls program to load new help file
- * Ctrl-A * Add current screen page to end of help file
- * Insert * Insert current screen page in help file
- * Delete * Delete current help file page
- * Dwn Arrow * Go forward one page in file
- * Up Arrow * Go back one page in file
- * Pg Dwn * Go forward one page in file
- * Pg Up * Go back one page in file

-
- * POPDIR.EXE * This program requires about 14K Bytes of memory, 5K for
- program, and 9K for data storage. It may be run as a TSR, or as a
- standard routine. In the standard mode you may select and execute any
- executable DOS function or list any non-executable file. The display
- window size is variable from 2 to 18 lines and can be relocated any
- where on screen. Display colors may be changed to any desired color.
- When the highlight bar and cursor are not present, press "Return" to
- to enter the select mode.
-
-
- Enter the call-up code at the end of the command to install as a pop-
- up directory routine. Then you may press the "HOT" keys from within
- any text based application to call the program for listing / viewing
- files or sub-dirs in any selected directory (i.e. POPDIR /5). In this
- mode only the file list function is active. If run as a TSR, it may be
- removed by entering its name again at the DOS command prompt. If no
- other program has replaced the DOS int(9) interrupt handler since it
- was loaded it will then remove itself from memory. Any invalid entry
- for code option will cause the program load to hesitate, requesting a
- valid code entry. If entry is invalid at this point, the default code
- is assigned.
-
- To run as a standard program with the execute function enabled, enter
- the command option "/" with nothing following the "/",(ie. POPDIR /).
