All selections may be made by using the keyboard or the mouse buttons. Their memory usage is less than 1K Bytes, to launch any application. Features include : ■ Virus Detection in all included utilities ■ Almost No memory overhead ■ Automatic screen layout of menus ■ Up to thirty-two entries per menu page ■ Menu line description up to sixty-five characters ■ Command string up to sixty-five characters ■ Use Log may be generated or not as needed ■ A Binary Use Log that cannot be edited ■ Password Protection available on any menu line ■ Run DOS .BAT files ■ Formatted or direct edit menu changing and creation ■ No limit on number of menu pages ■ Permanent screen color selection by user ■ Compact menu files ■ VIRUS DETECTION ■ Each Routine, when loaded by DOS, first locates the disk file from which it originated, then runs a checksum on that file. If the results do not match it's stored value, a message is dis- played indicating an integrity violation, and the routine terminates. ■ MEMORY MANAGEMENT ■ The SHELLC.EXE routine, is a very compact DOS execute function. When loaded, it first runs SHELL.EXE, which is the main body of the menu system. This routine handles all the menu swap- ping, and selection entry. When a command string is selected, it passes the string to SHELLC.EXE and terminates, freeing up all memory that it occupied. When SHELLC completes execution of the commands given, it re-loads SHELL.EXE. The memory overhead of SHELLC is less than 1K Bytes. Page 6 SHELL MENUING SYSTEM BY ROBERT OSSOWSKI ■ USE LOG ■ There are two types of log files available. A Crtl-F10 will initiate a text log, and an Alt-F10 will initiate a binary log file. The binary log is only ledgable by the internal shell functions, and gives use report security for auditing purposes. The list and print functions of the shell handle both types. If initialized, by the F10 function, the log receives entries when the SHELL is loaded by DOS, when a command string is executed, when a command string is finished, and when the SHELL is terminated. The Command finished, and SHELL terminate entries, contain run-time calculations. This log will accumulate entries until it is deleted, using the Shift-F10 function. Example as Follows : Thr-Jun-20 at 11:03:16AM Use Log Initialized 11:03:20AM Run C:\TASM\WORK\EDIT.EXE 01:21:48PM Run Time 02:18:28 01:21:54PM Shell EXIT Run Time 02:18:38 ■ MENU PAGES ■ Each menu page resides in a seperate menu file, with a name discripting that page. The menu page consists of a menu title line, and up to thirty-two two line menu entries. Each menu page must contain at least one entry that loads a new menu, giving a path through the system. There may be as many menu pages as you need. ■ AUTOMATIC LAYOUT ■ The menu listing screen layout, is handled auto- maticly, by the shell. With a Number of entries up to six, they are set up in a single column. Over six will be aligned in two columns, if none of the descriptions are longer than thirty-two characters. The following limitations apply : ■ A Maximum of Thirty-Two entries per menu, when maximum description length does not exceed thirty-two characters. ■ A Maximum of Sixteen entries per menu page, if any description is longer than Thirty-Two characters. ■ MENU TITLE LINE ■ This is the first entry in the menu file. It will be displayed above the menu list on the screen. You may put anything on this line you wish. ■ MENU LINE ■ Each menu line consists of two parts. The first part is the text to be displayed describing this menu selection. These entries may be of variable length, but no longer than seventy-six characters. They are any meaningful discription of the command to follow. Each entry must be on a line by itself, with no seperators between lines. Blank lines are not allowed. Page 7 SHELL MENUING SYSTEM BY ROBERT OSSOWSKI ■ COMMAND STRING ■ This is the second line of a menu entry. It is the command, or command string, associated with the previous discriptive entry. The command line may contain one or several valid DOS commands, each seperated by a comma. This also where a password may be entered. The password must be at the end of the command string, and must begin with a "#" character, which is not a part of the password. The max- imum length for this entry, including any password, is set at sixty- five characters. These command strings are read in by the SHELL, to execute a function (ie. C:,CD\WP5,WP). This command string tells DOS to Set Drive C: current, Change to Directory \WP5, Load and execute a file named WP, (ie Load and Run Word Perfect). If any command options are needed, they may be added to the command WP, as in normal DOS command entry. ■ PASS WORD PROTECTION ■ A Password, beginning with a "#" character, may be added at the end of any command string. This pass word may be any keyboard characters, up to twenty-five long. It will be displayed on screen, only as you are initially entering it. All line edit func- tions, except Back-Space, are dissabled while you are entering a pass- word. Once entered and stored, it's display will not be recogniziable. A password entry prompt can be by-passed by entering the following sequence. ".#.#.#.#.#.#". If no passwords have been entered, you will never see the password input prompt. Entry Format as Follows : ■ "C:,CD\WP5,WP#MyPass" ■ This Command String contains Three valid DOS commands, and a password. Command #1 : "C:" : Set Drive C to Be Current Drive Command #2 : "CD\WP5" : Change Directory To C:\WP5 Command #3 : "WP" : Run Program WP.EXE Password : "MyPass" : Case Sensitive Password To Execute ■ LOAD NEW MENU ■ This is an internal shell function, "GETMENU", that loads the menu entered as it's command option. All menus must contain at least one entry with this command, "GETMENU MENUNAME", where MENU- NAME is the name of the menu to be loaded. Menu names are a Maximum Length of eight characters, as defined by DOS for a filename. Any menu may contain a menu line to load any other menu available on the system. ■ SETCOLOR ■ This is an internal function of the SHELL that allows you to set your desired screen, border, and highlite colors. It displays a palette of sixteen colors, 0 thru 15. You may select to change the character color (Foreground) or the Background color (Screen). As the selection is made, the new color is displayed only on the select line until you select "Esc". The new color will then be displayed on whole screen and, you are returned to the color select menu. Once you get the desired colors and exit, this new color scheme is stored in the code segment on disk so that the next time the SHELL is loaded it will display in these colors. Be aware that changing the color palettes will affect other program screen display. The standard default palettes are zero for the low eight colors and fifteen for the high eight colors. When you EXIT the shell the system palettes are set to these standards. Page 8 SHELL MENUING SYSTEM BY ROBERT OSSOWSKI ■ Add or Change A Menu ■ These functions are normally handled by the routine "CHNGMENU.EXE". This routine displays a list of the current system menus, and prompts for a menu name entry. To create a new menu, just enter a name that is not on the list. The new menu file will be created, and the first menu line will be initialized as an exit line. This line may be changed as you wish, but an exit line to another menu must be maintained, for system navigation. To change a current menu, just enter it's displayed name. It will be loaded and displayed in a formatted edit window. ■ This routine supplies the following editing support ■ ■ Left Arrow ■ Go left one character ■ Right Arrow ■ Go right one character ■ Up Arrow ■ Go up one screen line ■ Down Arrow ■ Go down one screen line ■ Home ■ Go to beginning of line ■ End ■ Go to end of current line ■ Insert ■ Toggle Character Insert/OverWrite ■ Delete ■ Delete a Character at cursor position ■ Alt-L ■ Insert a new two line menu entry ■ Alt-Y ■ Delete Current two line menu entry ■ F10 ■ Store changed menu file ■ Esc ■ Exit and not store changes Page 9 SHELL MENUING SYSTEM BY ROBERT OSSOWSKI ■ MENU.MEU ■ This is a master menu, set up with selections for the pre-initialized system menu pages. As with any other menu, it may be changed as you wish. There may be as many master menu pages as you need. ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ █ █ █ █ █ SHELL MENUING SYSTEM BY ROBERT OSSOWSKI █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ Get System Utilities Menu █ █ Get User Applications Menu █ █ Get DOS Utilities Menu █ █ Get Game Recreation Menu █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ «┘ Enter or Left Mouse PB = Select / F1 or Right PB = Help █ ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ ■ CHNGMENU.EXE ■ The following is the edit display that you would see upon selecting the change menu function for this menu.

This command string tells DOS to Set Drive C: to be the current default drive, Go to Directory \WP5, load and execute a file named WP, (ie. Load and Run Word Perfect). If any options are needed, they may be added to the command WP as in normal DOS command entry with space seporator. Page 12 ON-LINE DOS DOCUMENTATION AND PROGRAM HELP ■ PROGRAM DOSHELP.EXE ■ (DOSHELPM.EXE For Mono System) This is a "TSR" program that requires approximately 4K Bytes of memory, and will remain installed untill you enter it's name again at the DOS command level. If no other program has replaced the DOS int(9) interrupt handler since it was loaded, it will then remove itself from memory. You should make an entry in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file so DOS will automatically load this program on system boot. The Default "HOT" Keys are Both Shift Keys. Others may be assigned as listed on the sign-on screen. Pressing these keys, will call the program to view a help file of the currently running program, if one exists in the programs directory. If the file does not exist, it asks if one should be created, and will store the current page of program display in this file. The currently loaded file, and file page will be retained for next call-up, when you exit display, as long as the same program is running. ■ "HOT" Key Codes Available ■ Code 3 = Both Shift Keys (Default Keys) ■ Code 5 = Ctrl and Right Shift Keys ■ Code 6 = Ctrl and Left Shift Keys ■ Code 7 = Ctrl and Both Shift Keys When called with the Alt key, and "HOT" keys pressed, it lists all the help files available, and prompts for a new file name entry to display. Name entries are a maximum of eight characters as defined by DOS. Files Must be in a Screen Dump Format as created by this program or with EZ-TEXT, the text editor supplied with this package. Two file formats are supported by this program. With (.CLP), and without (.HLP) color information. The files created by this program may be of either type. Help files must be, and created files are automatically, stored in the original directory path of the program DOSHELP.EXE. The ".HLP" file does not contain screen color information. Pages added or inserted in this file do not retain screen color. Each page added increases file size by 2K Bytes. The ".CLP" type file does contain screen color information. Pages added, or inserted in this file, will retain and display the original screen colors. Each page added to this file increases file size by 4K Bytes.

It may be run as a TSR, or as a standard routine. In the standard mode, you may select and execute any executable DOS function, or list any non-executable file. The display window size, is variable from 2 to 18 lines, and can be relocated any where on screen. Display colors may be changed to any desired color. Enter a `#` char at the end of the command option to install as a Pop- Up Directory routine. Then you may press the `HOT` keys from within any text based application, to call the program for viewing a list of files or sub-dirs in any selected directory, (ie. POPDIR /5#). In this mode only the file list function is active. If run as a TSR, it may be removed, by entering its name again at the DOS command prompt. If no other program has replaced the DOS int(9) interrupt handler since it was loaded, it will then remove itself from memory. ■ HOT Key Codes Available ■ 3 = Both shift keys ■ 5 = Ctrl & right shift keys ■ 6 = Ctrl & left shift keys (Default) ■ 7 = Ctrl & both shift keys ■ Active Program Controls ■ Up/Down Arrow ......... = Move Up/Down One Line in Window Page Up/Down .......... = Move Up/Down One Window Page Left/Right Arrow ...... = Edit PathName, or Move in Window Home/End .............. = Edit Pathname Entry F9, F10 ............... = Decrease/Increase Window Size Ctrl/PgUp, Ctrl/PgDwn . = Move Window Up/Down One Screen Line Ctrl/Home, Ctrl/End ... = Move Window Left/Right One Screen Line F3, Both Mouse Buttons = Go Select File To List/Execute F5, F6, F7, F8 ........ = Set New Window Colors Esc, Right Mouse PB ... = Escape From Current Function Page 15 DOS UTILITIES BY ROBERT OSSOWSKI PROGRAMMERS CALCULATOR ■ CALC.EXE ■ A Pop-Up programmers Calculator with Decimal,Hex,Octal, & Binary base conversion, Bit shifting, and Logical operator, functions. It has a 32-Bit number representation, and supports two decimal place integer arithmetic calculations. Screen location may be changed using the arrow keys. Position is retained untill the program is unloaded, or moved again. This routine is a "TSR", (Terminate and Stay Resident), program. Once Loaded, it can be called up by pressing the "HOT" keys. If it was already loaded, and you select to reload, it will attemp to unload it- self from memory. It can only do this if it was the last, "TSR" type, program loaded. If it can't unload, it will just ignor any reload attempts. It occupies approximately 4.5K Bytes of memory. Mixed-base calculations are supported, and the +,-,*, and / func- tions are conventional. Beware though, of only interger mode calcu- lations. Your fractions dissappear, except in fixed two place decimal. ■ CALC.EXE ■ Functions ■ ■ Arrows ■ Relocatable pop-up screen position using arrow keys. ■ F1 ■ Pressing F1 successively cycles through the different base conversions of the number on the entry line. ■ F2 ■ This Key toggles Fixed two place decimal on and off. ■ F3 ■ Performs logical AND on current and next number entered. ■ F4 ■ Performs logical OR on current and next number entered. ■ F5 ■ Performs logical XOR on current and next number entered. ■ F6 ■ Performs logical NOT(Invert) on the current entry. ■ F7 ■ Performs BIT Shift Left on current entry. ■ F8 ■ Performs BIT Shift Right on current entry. ■ F9 ■ Changes the Sign of current entry. ■ F10 ■ Clears the entry line. ■ Shift-F10■ Clears the calculator. Page 16 DOS UTILITIES BY ROBERT OSSOWSKI ■ WHERE.EXE ■ This routine inputs a filename, searches all directories on all drives on the system, and reports all locations of found files. If more than one screen page is found, it awaits user input to go to the next page. You may enter the filename at the command level, or the program will prompt for a name entry. The name should not contain a drive or di- rectory entry, as all drives, and all directories are searched. Only File Name, and extent are needed. Any KNOWN letters of the name, and wild card characters may be used. The "?" may be substituted for any unknown character. The "*" indicates ALL. Entering /p at the end of command will cause the search results to be printed. Entries may be as follows : ■ *.dat /p ■ Will find, list, & print all files with .DAT extension ■ dat.* ■ Will find & list all files with name DAT ■ dat?????.* ■ Will find & list all files beginning with DAT ■ da???.* ■ will find & list all files with a name five letters long starting with DA ■ WHERE.EXE ■ This is a Sample Listing Supplied by This Routine Searching For File : WHERE.EXE A:\WHERE.EXE B:\WHERE.EXE C:\DOS\WHERE.EXE C:\TASM\DEMO\WHERE.EXE C:\TASM\WORK\WHERE.EXE C:\TEST\WHERE.EXE D:\DOS4\WHERE.EXE E:\TEST\WHERE.EXE E:\DOSHELP\WHERE.EXE$ Page 17 DOS UTILITIES BY ROBERT OSSOWSKI ■ MEMMAP.EXE ■ This routine checks the DOS memory allocation chain for all allocated memory blocks, giving a report listing the names of what owns each block, and the ammount of memory used.

It searches all directories of the current drive for a matching an entered filename. If file is found, it marks it undeleted and assigns succeeding unallocated FAT entries, starting with assigned file beginning cluster, to this file. This may, or may not, make the file usable. If no files have been moved on the disk, since this file was deleted, it should then be a usable file. If a Name is not entered, all deleted files and directories on current or specified drive, will be displayed, to mark for recovery as you see fit. The Probability of recovery is checked, and listed as Good, Fair, Poor, or None. Sign-On Prompt is as Follows : Enter Filename ?

It loads and sorts the directory, clears out all deleted entries, then stores sorted the directory on the disk. The Global character * may be used to have all the directories on drive sorted. Program Sign-On Prompt as Follows : Enter DIR Name ? Entry Format : d:\dirname (ie. c:\mydir) d:* For All Dirs On Drive d:\ For Just Root Dir Directorys Will Be Sorted and Compacted ■ DISKSCAN.EXE ■ This routine will check the readability of an entire disk partition. It first checks the file allocation table for any disk clusters marked as bad, and reports any found, then it starts at sector zero, reading the disk in 64K byte blocks. If a read error is detected, it will report the error type returned by DOS, and begin checking that area, one sector at a time. At Any sector returning an error, the file allocation table is checked for the recorded status, and a message is displayed, (ie. Flaged as Bad, Un-Allocated, or In- Use by File). If the Sector is in a Reserved Area, a message indicat- ing so will be displayed,(ie. Boot Sector, Root Directory, File Alloc Table). At Completion of this sector by sector search, it will cont- inue search in 64K blocks, to the end of disk partition. No attempt is made, by this routine, to correct any errors found. It`s only function is to give the error report. Command options may be entered at run time, or the program will prompt you for an input. Options : drive:/P(n), where drive is the assigned disk letter, /P (Output Errors to Printer), (n) =1 or2 for Lpt1 or Lpt2. ■ CHKFRAG.EXE ■ This routine checks on disk data storage fragmentation. The present version works on all files in directories no more than five levels deep from the root directory. It will search for a specified directory, or will evaluate them sequentially, as they are found in the root directory. This depends on your optional input, (ie. disk:\* for all dirs, or disk:\dirname\dirname for a specified directory). Entries over 1,024 in a single sub-directory, will be ignored. All file data sepperations are located, and the disk cluster jumps are listed in hexadecimal notation. This will rapidly give you a good idea of how badly you need to run a defragmentation program. The more broken up your files are, the slower your system runs, and the lesser chance of file recovery you have. The only function of this routine, is to report the results found. It makes no effort to change any disk information. Page 23 DOS UTILITIES (C)1991 BY RO-SOFT MAKE YOUR COMPUTING EAZY ■ DEFRAG.EXE ■ This routine will correct fragmented data files on your disks allowing most applications to run much faster on your system. The present version works on all files in directories,no more than five dir levels deep from the root directory. Entries over 1,024 in a single sub-directory, will be ignored. Maximum hard disk partition is limited to approximately 130M Bytes. Command options may include, a new drive letter, and / or a /P (ie. d:/p). The /P option will invoke a disk data compression cycle,previous to the file defrag cycle. This option should be selected if your disk is fairly full, or has large fragmented files. The routine first runs a check on the disk fragmentation, and displays the total fragments found. It then prompts for continuation with a Y/N prompt. The directories on the drive are sequentially evaluated, and fragmented files are moved to a new location. At the completion of each directory, if you entered the /P option, and if any files were moved, a data compact cycle is initiated. This frees up blocks of sequential clusters for relocating more fragmentated files. Pressing the `Esc` key at any time will interrupt the cycle. If interrupted, the present cycle is completed, but no more file movement will take place. At the end of this cycle, the program will exit, and may be run again at any time to continue the process. ■ CHKROOT.EXE ■ This routine checks all allocation units on specified disk partition for root directory entries, and verifies if a valid entry is in the root directory. It gives a report on all the entries found. (ie. The disk sector number, the allocation unit number, the amount of storage allocated to this entry, and messages for all the descrepencies found). It first locates a valid entry in the disk data area. Then the root directory is searched for a matching entry. it validates the entries allocation number, directory attribute, and checks name for invalid characters. The file allocation table is then checked for validity and allocation length. If running CHKDSK reports many lost clusters, run this routine before running CHKDSK /f. If this routine reports errors, running CHKDSK /f could do a destruct on your directories. No attempt is made by this routine to correct any errors found. It`s only function is to give the error report. Run FIXROOT.EXE to correct errors. Command options may be entered at run time, or the program will prompt you for input. Options : drive:/P(n) where drive is the as- signed disk letter, /P (Output Errors to Printer), (n) =1 or2 for Lpt1 or Lpt2. Page 24 DOS UTILITIES BY ROBERT OSSOWSKI ■ SCRNCLK.EXE ■ This is a movable clock display for contineous time monitor. It has four assignable call-up codes for re-location, and alarm setting, from within any application program. It displays in a 12 hour time format with AM/PM indicator. It will display on window's screen, but cannot be called for relocation while the system is in a graphics mode. You may set an alarm time, and message to be displayed during the alarm time which is set for thirty seconds. This Time and message is stored for subsequent program loads, so tomorrow you will get the same alarm and message. To terminate alarm press program HOT keys. The call-up code, and original screen location may be entered as a command option when loading. Option format is : /keycode,row,column See key codes below. row = 00 to 24, column = 00 to 69. Defaults are key code 9, row 24, column 69. ■ CLK1.EXE ■ This is a compact clock display, and accepts location parameters only as command option, and has no call up or alarm. This routine only requires about 700 Bytes of memory, Option entry is as follows : /row,column where row = 00 to 24 and column = 00 t0 69. Both Clocks may be unloaded at any time by re-entering their name at the DOS command level. SIGN ON SCREEN PROGRAM SCRNCLK.EXE NOW BEING LOADED Copyright : Robert Ossowski 1991 This program requires just over 3K Bytes of memory, and will remain installed until you enter its name again at the DOS command level.
