Topics covered are throws, chokes, kicks, punching theory, fists, and a glossary of the different forms of martial arts. LIST FILES IN YOUR "CONTROL." BACKUP FILES Once DOS' Backup.Com creates a backup file, you never know what's inside !! Now, see quickly into the backup file. Create a listing of files contained within ! BACKUP.EXE uses any compression you want (Pkzip, Arc, Lharc, Zoo) to back up any directory or back-up your whole hard drive ! Automatically shrinks your directory, names it and puts it anywhere you want: a diskette or a back-up directory. Maximize those compression programs ! Let them do the work. ******************************* Allows splitting large zip files, merging them later, backing up onto multiple diskettes, formatting diskettes if necessary, and MORE ! ╓──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╖ ║ DAVE'S MOVE ║ ║ ║ ║ Clearly the fastest move utility !

Throw that DOS' Attrib.Exe away, it's replacement is finally here ! BYE.EXE totally erases a file. No file-recovery can bring it back. I tested Norton, PCTools and Mace, none of which even FOUND the deleted file ! ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ═══════════════════════════╩═════════════════════════════════════════════ Your Computer Is At Risk ! Downloading mysterious files is scary, so inspect them first with the INSPECTOR. It identifies if file is text, binary, executable, compressed and checks for viruses. A full report is then listed, FAST.
