JOBS (v3.20sa) by Robert C. Tellefson REGISTRATION ($10.00)
JOBS - Job Organization and Backup System
JOBS is an acronym for JOB Organization and Backup System. It is a
hard disk manager, DOS shell, utility set, menu manager, and more. It
runs on IBM PC/XT/AT and compatible computers.
Perhaps our most difficult task has been to explain what JOBS is. It
doesn't fall neatly into a single category. Maybe it is best
described as a housekeeper.
As a housekeeper, JOBS performs those tasks that are performed outside
of application programs. We consider PCs to be machines specifically
designed to run applications, ie., word processing, accounting,
planning, drafting, design, etc. Housekeeping tasks are those that
are necessary but incidental. Housekeeping tasks include:
1. DOS related operations, such as directory creation/removal,
file copy, erase, rename, etc.
2. Execution of application programs.
3. Installation and removal of programs and utilities.
4. Backup or archiving of data created by applications.
5. Miscellaneous functions to display, organize, and manage
application data; ie., tools used to print, search, sort,
compare, etc.
6. The ability to automate or customize frequently performed
operations.
The shareware version of JOBS (JOBS-SW) is a subset of JOBS+, which
adds support for hard disk backup and restore, a menu manager, EASY
menus to simplify access to JOBS' extensive command set, and a set of
macros that make short work of many of the most common housekeeping
tasks.
Here is a list highlighting what the Shareware version of JOBS can do.
