Introduction
___________________________________________________________
ExtraDOS is a compilation of tools useful to Microsoft DOS users. I
originally wrote the first version of ExtraDOS under MS-DOS because
I found a need for them and there were no commercially available products
which provided these functions. Some ExtraDOS tools were designed to
enhance programs already found in MS-DOS. Other tools were familiar to the
Unix world, but were not available in MS-DOS. In addition, ExtraDOS
compliments PC-Tools and Norton Utilities with added tools these
programs do not provide. ExtraDOS has grown and added many new programs
and features over the past 6 years and now includes over 50 utilities.
Over thirty of the ExtraDOS Toolbox utilities have been selected by Paul
Somerson, former Executive Editor of PC Magazine, for Bantam Books',
DOS Power Tools, 2nd Edition, Revised and Expanded for DOS 5.0.

ALLSUB - Perform a Task in All Subdirectories
___________________________________________________________
Description
Allsub allows you to run any command or program in the current
directory as well as in all subdirectories of the current directory. This is
useful for deleting groups of files or performing tasks with programs that
don't normally allow for subdirectories. As the command is performed in
each subdirectory ALLSUB will display the directory of execution.
Version
2.04 10/03/91
Command Format
ALLSUB [command]
[command] is any valid DOS command or program.
TECHNICAL SUPPORT
___________________________________________________________
Many times we get calls from people asking questions that can be solved
easily by checking through the manual before calling tech support. We
ask that you browse the manual and look for information pertaining to
your particular problem before calling. This can often save you time, as
we take a collection of our most common questions and try to address
them in this manual.
We offer alternative methods in addition to the conventional phone
support, such as a multi-line 24-hour BBS system. We also monitor most
technical conferences in the BBS Interlink and RelayNet networks as well
as many of the conferences on the CompuServe Information System.
You may send messages and questions via any of these services.
Currently our Tech Support office is staffed Monday through Friday from
9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time. There is a chance, however, that
someone is in the office outside of this time frame. If so, we will gladly
answer your questions outside the normal business hours.

_________________________________________________________
This collection of utilities started out as a small set of home grown tools
that I just could not stand to live without. Many times someone would
see me using them and ask for a copy. This was a big mistake. All of
the sudden I had to debug my code. Someone would call me up and
remind me of some problem with a utility that I had written or asked me
to just add this one little feature. Six years later the package has
evolved to its current state. Along the way I have had the help of many
people in testing and ideas for products. I would like to thank all of those
people who have of course registered these utilities as this is now a new
incentive for continuing to expand them. More specifically I'd like to
thank the following people:
Kathy Smith. For her never ending understanding and support of this
time consuming project.
Jay Wessel. Relentless Testing & suggestions. Jay's never ending
pursuit to find bugs and abnormalities in the programs is always
appreciated.
Mike Blaszczak. "Nifty James" shareware author who had some good
ideas of which we have expanded upon. Mike is responsible for the
original versions of CHIMES, EVAL and FILEFIND.
Mike Viens. Mike was the original author of the NAMEDIR and
FILEATTR programs. His original utilities where known as the
FANTASTIC utilities.
Mike Molloy. AREA was based on Mike's original FAC area code TSR.
Mike has updated the AREA program with many new features as well as
helping with the SHELL and INTERACTIVE Mode programs.

Bill McKee. Bill helped write and update many of the ExtraDOS utilities
including CLEANUP, BROWSE and SHELL.
Ross Wentworth. Ross has been a key help in developing the 4.0
release of this product including work on most of the TSR and Device
Driver programs. Ross has worked on ALARMCLK, BOOTLOCK, BOOTPAST,
BRKBOX, CHIMES, CLEANFL, CURLOCK, CURSOR, CUTPASTE, DELAY, FILEINFO,
SCROLLBK, TURBOBAT, USEMEM.
PC Magazine. PC Magazine has inspired some of these utilities with
good ideas published in the technical articles seen in every issue. Some
of our utilities taken an idea of a program that they have published and
built a very usable utility from it.
