Extra information:
I don't believe in extensive documentation. The program(s) must explain them
selves, but some extra information is needed:
*** Changing colors in DOE, DOCALC and DO T/X/L option:
If you want to change the default colors to something else you have to
find the following byte row in the .EXE file(s):
01 C6 06 ?? 00 06 C6 06 ?? 00 0E C6 06 ?? 00 0E
-- -- -- --
back1 back2 text1 text2
The four marked bytes define the colors used for color video cards.
Changing these bytes will have effect on the color mode of a CGA, EGA or VGA
card. They have no effect on a HGC/MDA card. You can choose from the
following colors:
Black = 00; Blue = 01;
Green = 02; Cyan = 03;
Red = 04; Magenta = 05;
Brown = 06; LightGray = 07;
DarkGray = 08; LightBlue = 09;
LightGreen = 0A; LightCyan = 0B;
LightRed = 0C; LightMagenta = 0D;
Yellow = 0E; White = 0F;
Note: color changes is not longer possibly in DOCALC. The program has been
compressed. If change is needed, please inform.
*** DOTEXT utility:
This is a program to change the textmode of the video adapter. For example
the instruction DOTEXT 259 will set a EGA or VGA adapter to the high
resolution mode. (43/50 line mode) This can be used in combination with
the other utilities DO DOE and DOL.
*** DOF utility.
This utility searches for files anywhere on disk and inside LZH,ZIP,PAK
en ARC archives. It also search inside the self extracting archive files of
the archives.
It is now tested on:
PAK10, PAK16,PAK20, PAK210 ,PK35 PK36,LH10E,LHARC113,ZOO201,
ZOO151, PKZ092 ,PKZ101, PKZ102, PKZ110.
Usage: DOF SEARCHSTRING [PARAMETERS] [] optional
Example: DOF *.DOC
When the parameter after DOF contains a ":" or a "\" the list mode will be
activated. The listmode can be used as a list routine for the contents of
archive file(s). For example the instruction LHARC L *.LZH is equivalent
with DOF C:*.LZH. The listmode handles the same commandos as the standard
DOS dir. Examples:
1) DOF C:*.LZH is equal to DOF CURRENTPATH\*.LZH
2) DOF C: DOF CURRENTPATH\*.*
3) DOF C:FILES DOF CURRENTPATH\FILES\*.*
4) DOF C:FILES\*.* DOF CURRENTPATH\FILES\*.*
(Examples are for C: drive)
The program can be used to make a total list of the contents of a disk.
Enter for this purpose: DOF *.* - f The - means only normal files, the f
means write report to file. The program will ask for a file name and start.
The searchstring turbo is equivalent with turbo.* When a file in a archive is
archived with its original path a + sign is added to the filename in the
report. To find files without a extension like README, enter "DOF README." The
dot is necessary to prevent the automatic added extension ".*"
To change the video mode to writing via the BIOS (instead of direct
in video memory, which is faster) patch the word 'dovideo' at the end of
the file dof.exe to something else (eg: ?ovideo). You will find the word tree
times. Change only the last one.
*** DOCOPY utility :
This program is an intelligent copy program which works in the following way:
Make a dir list of the source files. Show total source size in bytes. Copy
the files. If a file already exists and the file is older overwrite file.
If there is not enough space to overwrite older destination file then delete
older destination file. If destination file is from the same date or newer
then proceed with next file.(ignore) If there is not enough space try next
file till disk is full. If disk is full wait for next disk.
Check destination disks for double file(s). This means that when a file
is copied to destination disk one and is found again on disk two, the program
ask delete or update. Delete means delete the double destination file on
disk two, update means update the double file on disk two.
DOCOPY can be used to 1) Backup files in standard DOS format.
The program puts as much as possible on every disk
No selection or calculation is needed. Everything
works automatically.
2) Update fast backups of files. This goes fast because
only the changed files are updated.
*** NO-VGA utility :
This memory resident program looks to interrupt 10h. When register AH is equal
or below 13h the interrupt is passed but in all other cases an IRET is given.
The result is that my EGA-wonder and many other multimode video adapters/cards
with VGA capabilities will be detected by many programs like Turbo Pascal as a
normal EGA card. This is very useful when the monitor is not capable of
displaying VGA.
Hint: To save some memory place no-vga in AUTOEXEC.BAT.bat file before path
setting. This will reduce the environment string placed together with no-vga
in memory.
*** DO utility :
Several options are available. See opening menu DO. It is not necessary to
enter the second parameter. If the second parameter is empty then the program
will ask for the second parameter.
The most popular option H, change directory based on short directory name, can
be entered in a short or standard way. Example: DO PA or DO H PA . The
objective of this example is to change to the directory "Pascal". The H
instruction is not necessary if the second parameter is two or more characters
long. The instruction DO CAL is also possible. (Pas(cal))
To speed up the T and X option the program makes an image of the tree of the
C:,D:.. drive in the file \treeinfo.do. Except for the T and X option it is not
necessary to update the treeimage file \treeinfo.do. Searching through
directories goes live. The program searches from root till four directories
deep.
To delete other files then *.BAK files with the W=Wipe option use the standard
DOS "set" option to set the environment string "WIP&" to the search
string you want to delete every where on the disk. Example enter first at the
DOS prompt: SET WIP&=*.WS. After entering this DO W will delete all *.WS files
on your disk without acknowledge !! Be careful !!!. Enter SET WIP&= to reset
the environment to the default *.BAK option or just switch off the computer.
You can also place the set option in the autoexec.bat file.
*** DC utility :
Utility to change fast directory, based on a short directory name.
Example: to change to PASCAL enter DC PA or DC PASCAL. It is a little bit
faster then the DO H option, because the program is faster loaded. (5 Kbyte)
It has an extra option to change to a directory with an extension. This is not
a default option because it is a slower process. Enter for those directories
the search string with the dot included. Example : To change to the directory
TURBO.5 enter DC BO. or DC TURBO.5
*** DOE utility :
Utility to execute fast programs. It can handle now 150 directories. The left
window shows a tree presentation of the selected drive. When a directory is
selected with the enter key the left window shall show all executable files of
the selected directory. (.EXE .COM .BAT) When a executable file is selected the
status area in the top of the screen shall ask for extra parameter. For example
if the normal start up procedure in DOS is "TURBO FILE" , you have to enter
FILE. After entering this the program shall be started. If you have no
parameters, just enter nothing. When you finished with TURBO, you will come
back in DOE.
DOE has also the feature to change directory. Just select a directory in the
left window and press the space bar. This feature is compatible with the T
option in DO.
Directories with a extension are not displayed.
*** DOTIMER utility :
Simple program to show elapsed runtime. If you for example want to know the
searchtime of DO enter: DOTIMER DO F MYGIRL.SEX. You will see all waste time
and discover that your computer can't solve all your needs.
*** DOCALC utility :
The DO Scientific calculator. Calculates numbers between 3.4E-4932 and
1.1E+4932. Enter your formulas in DOCALC. Enter as much "( )" as needed.
Remember that the normal rules for calculations are valid:
First calculate power, then * and / , then + and -.
This means that 2+3*2=8 and 10/2*3=15, but 10/(2*3)=1.666667. Calculations in
hex are not possible. Calculations like 2--1=3 are supported. A example
ABCFORM.CDO for calculation of the zero points of a parabola is added.
There are English and Dutch help screens available. English is the default. To
switch direct to Dutch, enter in DOS: DOCALC NL. The maximum amount of lines
is restricted to one screen (MDA/HGC/CGA=24 EGAHI=42 VGAHI=49). A screen can
be saved and loaded again. If the filename * or no name is entered a file list
will been displayed. Do not type the standard file extension .CDO
There is a Dutch help file added: DOCALC.DOC
*** DOCOLOR utility :
Changes the back ground and text color. (text attribute) Original made for
DOCALC version 1 but not longer used for version DOCALC 2.0. Still useful
for some other programs like the editor TED.COM.
Usage: DOCOLOR COLOR
Example, yellow text and a blue background (text color 14 + background 16).
Usage in a BAT file : DOCOLOR 30
PROGRAM
CLS
DOCOLOR changes text attribute accordance table 1 and then clears the screen:
Table 1, Color or text-attr.

. . . 1 . . . . Blue component background color.
. . . . 1 . . . Intensity text.
. . . . . 1 . . Red component text.
. . . . . . 1 . Green component text.
. . . . . . . 1 Blue component text.
*** DOPASS utility
Program for simple protection against not allowed use of the PC. Simply place
the following instructions in the beginning of the autoexec.bat file:
ECHO OFF
DOPASS PASSWORD
The instruction echo off will prevent the echo of the second instruction.
Otherwise the password will be displayed fo a short time.
The program is intended to protect your PC against children and most PC users.
In case you forgot the password, boot the system with a DOS floppy
and look/modify the autoexec.bat file on the hard disk. Don't place the
instruction in the autoexec.bat of the bootable DOS floppy. If you forgot the
password you will need a other bootable DOS floppy to restart ! It is not
possible to stop the program with control-C or control-break.
*** DOLOG utility :
Simple time/date log program for use in batch files=.BAT Writes current
time/date to log file.
Usage: DOLOG INFO [LOGFILENAAM] []=optional ');
Info is a text message witch is with the current time/date written to the
log file. The default logfilenaam=DO.LOG.
For example if you want a log of the format program make a bat file like:
FORMAT2.bat = DOLOG START-FORMAT
C:\DOS\format.com %1
DOLOG STOP-FORMAT
After the execution of the program FORMAT2 the DO.LOG file will contain:
START-FORMAT Time : 91-11-19 22:03
STOP-FORMAT Time : 91-11-19 22:04
Every time the format2 program is executed the new start and stop time will
be added to DO.LOG. Instead "DOLOG start-format", the line
"DOLOG start-format format" can be used. The log shall will be send to the
file format.log.
A nice application is a instruction DOLOG START in the autoexec.bat file.
This will make a record the times the computer is used.
*** DOMOVE utility : No extra information available
*** DOM-10 package :
Conversion package for converting between .LZH .PAK .ARC .ZIP archives.
For example MAKELZH C: converts every archive on the C: drive to the LZH
format. The package contains specific documentation.
**** DOCATCH
Program designed for to catch text or other files from the screen. Useful
for text files made with text processors/editor with can't be converted to a
ASCII file. (often is that possible through printing to a file.) A possible
application is the converting of GW-basic files. The program DOcatch installs
itself resident (keyboard routine 16H) and captures the text line at the cursor.
When the text is scrolled with the down arrow, the text is captured. In the
menu, Alt-A the left and right margin can be adjusted.
Sometimes because of the slow screen build up (text program) it is necessary to
scroll slowly. Capture of text lines is only possible if the text lines are
visible on the screen.
**** DODOS
Example 1
Program designed for a friend a me, who wanted to print several files in a
network. He used the copy instruction instead of the print instruction.
For 10 files he had to enter:
Copy file1 LPT1
Copy file2 LPT1
Copy file2 LPT1
.... ..... ....
This takes a lot of time. With the DODOS program, it can be done with a few
instructions. First enter:
1) DODOS or 1) DODOS COPY ? LPT1
2) COPY ? LPT1
Skip then the question "directory + searchstring" by just a pressing enter.
Select then the files in the window (space bar) and just press again enter.
Example 2
To use DODOS as a Shell for LHARC (or PKZIP/PAK) enter:
1) DODOS or 1) DODOS LHARC A NAME &
2) LHARC A NAME &
NAME is the name of the archive to create.
Select then the files to add to the archive NAME and press enter.
Example 3
The program can also be used as a "Shell" to copy/delete files and for
example for changing a archive file from ARC to LZH format. See for this
the F1 help screen in the program. The batch file ARCLZH.BAT for changing
ARC to LZH format is added to the DO utilities. The use is as follows:
1) DODOS
2) ARCLZH !
3) *.* or *.ARC or \PASCAL\*.ARC or .....
Select then the files to convert and press enter.
