- All you always wanted to put in an environment variable and
- never dare to ask DOS for...
-
- XSET: The way to easily write efficient batch files.
-
-
- XSET allows you to put EVERYTHING you want in a variable of
- the current environment and use it as if you gave it the value with
- the standard DOS command 'SET'. You will be able to write very efficient
- batch files including string manipulation, calculation,...
-
- XSET is the more powerful environment variable manipulation
- program you never saw. It also has the easiest and most intuitive
- user interface it is possible to write (very closed to the DOS 'SET'
- command).
-
-
- XSET is fully compatible with MS-DOS 6.0, DR-DOS 6.0, NDOS & 4DOS 4.0.
-
-
- XSET has five major features:
- ════════════════════════════
-
- - XSET permits to catch the output of any command (internal or external)
- or program and put it into an environment variable.
-
- - XSET has several built-in commands to modify the output of a program
- or a string given on the command-line (extract a part of a string,...)
-
- - XSET has a built-in full floating-point calculation functionalitie:
- ───────────────────────────────
-
- You can make incremental loops, input a calculation string and
- output a number,...
-
- - XSET can manage variable contents of more than 128 characters
- (your path can now be as long as you want)
-
- - XSET has some other built-in commands to give you access to some
- system datas (date, time, ...)
-
- - XSET has built-in commands to clear all environment or restore a
- previously saved one.
-
-
- More than 45 commands to let you do all what you need.
-
-
- Remark: latest version of XSET is always available
- at SIMTEL-20 pd1:<msdos.batutl>xsetXXX.zip
- or at garbo.uwasa.fi:/pc/envutil/xsetXXX.zip
-
- (current version is 3.00)
