TITLE: ECHOO.ZIP
Keywords: DOS BATCH DISPLAY COLORS BOXES ERRORLEVEL HARDWARE
Abstract:
Batch file enhancer - place prompt text in color boxes, set background
& foreground color, display file contents, yes/no questions, pauses,
moving and typomatic text, clear screen, etc. Also sets errorlevels
based upon DOS version or various hardware components. A few other
niceties like ASCII and Color tables. FREE! No fee to me its free you
see. UNZIP, read README.1ST, run CHOO.BAT for demo. Author - Joshua
Wertheim, N.Y. N.Y. Hope you find it useful.
Unfortunately a few bugs were immediately discovered dealing with
EMS checking on non-EMS systems (system hung); XMS was inadvertantly
reporting VGA memory, and /DOSVER was generating an incorrect errorlevel
for DOS 3.3 (errorlevel was 60 or 61 when it should have been 33).
These have been fixed in the program dated 10/25/91 at 5:53pm.
