It may be run as a TSR, or as a standard routine. In standard mode, you may select and execute any executable DOS function. Display size is variable from 2, to 18 lines. 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. Enter an `#` char at the end of command option to install as Pop-Up. Then you may press the `HOT` keys to call the program for viewing a list of files or sub-dirs in any selected directory. (ie. POPDIR /5#) HOT key codes : 3 = Both shift keys 5 = Ctrl & right shift keys 6 = Ctrl & left shift keys (Default) 7 = Ctrl & both shift keys Program Controls: Up, Dwn, PgUp, PgDwn .. = Control List Files & Dirs «, », Home, End ....... = Edit Pathname Entry F9, F10 ............... = Decrease, Decrease Display Size Ctrl/PgUp, Ctrl/PgDwn . = Move Display Up or Down One Line Ctrl/Home, Ctrl/End ... = Move Display Left or Right F3, Both Mouse Buttons = Go Select File To Execute F5, F6, F7, F8 ........ = Set New Display Colors Esc, Right Mouse PB ... = Escape From Current Function$ DOSHELPM02DOSHELP.EXE02 ; ON-LINE DOS DOCUMENTATION AND PROGRAM HELP ■ DOSHELP.EXE ■ (DOSHELPM.EXE For Mono System) This is a "TSR" program that uses about 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 interrupt(9) 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 when you turn your system on.

It has 32-Bit number representation and supports two decimal place inte- ger arithmetic calculations. Screen location may be changed using the arrow keys. Position holds till 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 "Alt" key and the "Esc" key both together. If it was already loaded, and you select to reload, it will attemp to unload itself from memory. It can only do this if it was the last "TSR" 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 / functions are conventional. Beware though of only interger mode calculations. Your fractions dissappear, except in fixed two place decimal.$ ; DOS UTILITIES BY ROBERT OSSOWSKI ■ CALC.EXE ■ Functions as Follows : ■ 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.$ WHERE.EXE01; 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 this file. If more than one page is found, it awaits user input to go to next page. You may enter the filename at command level or the program will prompt for a name entry. The name should not contain a drive or directory 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 output 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$; MEMMAP.EXE01; DOS UTILITIES BY ROBERT OSSOWSKI ■ MEMMAP.EXE ■ This routine checks the DOS memory allocation chain for all allocated memory blocks giving a report listing names of what owns the block and the ammount of memory used. It Checks on the amount of memory installed, it's usage and availability. Report Includes : ■ DOS memory usage ■ All program environment blocks ■ Device drivers installed from CONFIG.SYS file (DOS 4.0+) ■ All programs currently loaded in memory ■ Amount of installed memory on the system ■ Amount of conventional DOS memory installed ■ Amount of conventional memory free for next program ■ Amount of installed extended memory ■ Amount of free extended memory ■ If EMS driver is loaded and how much memory it manages ■ Amount of free extended memory$; TREE.EXE01; DOS UTILITIES BY ROBERT OSSOWSKI ■ TREE.EXE ■ This routine lists or prints a disks directory, drawing a tree like presentation, giving the directory name, the number of files in each directory, and the number of bytes of data stored. The print option may be aborted at any time by pressing the ESC key. If run from the DOS prompt, you may enter the drive and option along with the command (ie. tree d:/p), or the program will prompt you for the input as follows : Enter New Drive ? Press ENTER To List Tree of Current Drive Entry May Contain drive: and /p For Print Option (ie. c:/p) Will Both List And Print Tree of Drive C: (ie. c:/p2) Will List and Print on LPT2$ DOSC01; DOS UTILITIES BY ROBERT OSSOWSKI ■ Go To DOS ■ This is an internal shell function that loads a new COMMAND processor and hands control to DOS. It Gives you the message to enter "EXIT" at DOS command prompt to return to the shell. You may perform any DOS functions and then return.$ EQUIP.EXE01; DOS UTILITIES BY ROBERT OSSOWSKI ■ EQUIP.EXE ■ This routine checks all hardware installed on system, reporting the type and usage if possible. Checks Made : ■ Processor and Co-Processor Type if Any ■ Primary and Secondary if any Video Types ■ Floppy Types ■ Hard Drives and Partitioning ■ Serial Ports and ussage if possible ■ Mouse Type if any ■ Modem Installed if any ■ Parallel Port ussage$ REPTCOMM.EXE01; DOS UTILITIES BY ROBERT OSSOWSKI ■ REPTCOMM.EXE ■ This routine allows entry of a command to be executed in all directories on a specified drive. It is usefull for clean up of misc. un-wanted files or as suggested on sigh-on, getting a printed list of all files on a drive. If not an Internal DOS command, the directory location of command file must be in the DOS search path as set in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. Sign on prompt is as follows: To Execute a Command in All Directories on a Drive Enter COMMAND ? .......................... Entry Format : [/command] For Current Drive [drive:/command] For New Drive Command Will Be Executed In All Directories On Specified Drive [ie. c:/ddir /p] To Print Listing Of All Files On Drive C Remember that directory of ddir must be in the DOS search path Press -Esc- To Exit !$ GETMENU MENU12; DOS UTILITIES BY ROBERT OSSOWSKI This routine "SHELLC.EXE" allows running a DOS system without ever having to see the DOS prompt. All selections may be made by using the keyboard or the mouse buttons. It's 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 as Binary or Text File ■ 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$ ; SHELL MENUING SYSTEM BY ROBERT OSSOWSKI ■ VIRUS DETECTION ■ Each Routine when loaded by DOS, first locates the disk file from which it originated, and runs a checksum on that file. If the results do not match it's stored value, a message is displayed indicating an integrity violation, and the routine terminates. ■ MEMORY MANAGEMENT ■ The SHELLC.EXE routine, is a very small 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 swapping, 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 any commands given, it re-loads SHELL.EXE. The memory overhead of SHELLC is less than 1K Bytes.$ ; SHELL MENUING SYSTEM BY ROBERT OSSOWSKI ■ USE LOG ■ This file, if initialized by the function key F10, receives entries from the SHELL when the SHELL is first loaded, when a command string is executed, when a command string is finished, and when the SHELL is terminated. The Command finished entry, contains a run-time calculation for that command string. This log accumulates entries until it is either re-initialized by function F10, or deleted by function Shift-F10. Example as Follows : Thr-Jun-20 at 11:03:16AM Use Log Initialized Thr-Jun-20 at 11:03:20AM Run C:\TASM\WORK\EDIT.EXE Thr-Jun-20 at 01:21:48PM Run Time 02:18:28 Thr-Jun-20 at 01:21:54PM Shell EXIT ■ 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 MENUNAME is the name of the menu to be loaded. Menu names are 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.$ CHNGMENU.EXE08; SHELL MENUING SYSTEM BY ROBERT OSSOWSKI ■ 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 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 automaticly by the shell. With the Number of entries up to six, they are set up in a single column. Over six are 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. ■ Maximum of Sixteen entries per menu page if any description 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.$ ; SHELL MENUING SYSTEM BY ROBERT OSSOWSKI ■ 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. ■ COMMAND STRING ■ This is the second line of a menu entry. It is the com- mand, or command string, associated with the previous discriptive entry. The command line may contain one or more 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.$ ; SHELL MENUING SYSTEM BY ROBERT OSSOWSKI ■ PASS WORD PROTECTION ■ A Password, beginning with a "#" character, may be added at the end of any command string. (ie. C:,CD\WP5,WP#PassWord) 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 functions, except Back-Space, are dissabled while you are entering a pass word. Once entered and stored, it's display will not be recogniziable. A pass word entry prompt can be by-passed by entering the following sequence. ".#.#.#.#.#.#" If no pass words have been entered, you will never see this prompt.$ ; 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 will be created, and the first menu line will be initialized as a menu exit line. This line may be changed as you wish. 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 : ■ Edit Functions Active In CHNGMENU.EXE : ■ Left «■ Go left one character ■ Right »■ Go right one character ■ Up « ■ Go up one screen line ■ Dwn « ■ Go down one screen line ■ Home ■ Go to beginning of line ■ End ■ Go to end of current line ■ Insert■ Toggle Char Insert On/Off ■ Delete ■ Delete a Char at cursor pos ■ Alt-L ■ Insert a new menu line ■ Alt-Y ■ Delete a menu line ■ F10 ■ Store changed menu file ■ Esc ■ Exit and not store changes$ ; SHELL MENUING SYSTEM BY ROBERT OSSOWSKI ■ CHNGMENU.EXE Sample Change Menu Display : Make or Change Entries For Menu : MENU.MEU Menu Header: SHELL MENUING SYSTEM BY ROBERT OSSOWSKI Menu Line : Get System Utilities Menu Command : GETMENU SHELMENU Menu Line : Get User Applications Menu Command : GETMENU APPLMENU.................................................

Choose the Change a Menu option, and customize this menu to your liking. Remember to leave the exit option on this menu so you can return to the system. It contains only one selection that was entered to run WordPerfect on on my system with the command string ( C:,CD\WP5,WP ). 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.$ DDIR.EXE01; DOS UTILITIES BY ROBERT OSSOWSKI DDIR.EXE : This routine lists and prints a disks directorys in double column format, pausing for user input at each page end unless the print option, /p was entered. If run from the DOS prompt, you may enter the drive and path as a command option (ie. ddir d:\newdir) All filenames listed or printed, are first sorted by name then by extent. If you have a color monitor, different extents will be displayed in different colors. If no command option is entered the program will prompt you for the drive, path, /p for print, /# for all directories on drive. Just pressing `RETURN`, gets current directory. Filenames may be entered in the PATH using DOS wildcard functions * and ?. Valid Entries as Follows : c:\Yourdir\*.com :List all .com files in c:\Yourdir c:\Yourdir /p :List & Print all files in c:\Yourdir d: :List files in current directory of d: d: /p /# :List & Print all files in all dirs on d: c:BR??????.* /# :List all files on c: starting with BR$; EXIT01; DOS UTILITIES BY ROBERT OSSOWSKI EXIT : This selection releases any memory allocation being used by the shell exits to DOS. The shell must then be re-loaded to run by entering the command "SHELL" at the DOS Prompt.$ UNDELETE.EXE01 ; DOS UTILITIES BY ROBERT OSSOWSKI UNDELETE.EXE : This utility inputs a filename for restoration if it has been inadvertently deleted. It searches all directories of the current drive for a matching name. If one is found it marks it undeleted and assigns succeeding FAT entries, starting with assigned file beginning, that are unallocated to this file. This may or may not make the file usable. If no files have been moved on the disk since the file was deleted, it should then be a usable file. Sign-On Prompt as Follows : If Name is not entered, all deleted files and directories on current or specified drive, will be displayed, to mark for recovery if desired. Probability of recovery is checked and listed as Good, Fair, Poor, or None. Enter Filename ? Entry Format To Recover Deleted Files For Specified File : d:\filename.ext (ie. c:\myfile.txt) To Select From List : `ENTER` (current drive) or `drive:` (new drive) All Directories On Disk Will Be Searched Press -Esc- To Exit ! If the file is restored it's full pathname will be listed.$ SORTDIR.EXE01; DOS UTILITIES BY ROBERT OSSOWSKI SORTDIR.EXE : This utility inputs a drive letter and directory name for sort first by FileName, the by File Extent. It loads and sorts the directory, clears out all deleted entries, then stores sorted directory on 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.EXE01; DOS UTILITIES (C)1991 BY RO-SOFT ■ 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 indicating so will be displayed. (ie. Boot Sector, Root Directory, File Alloc Table). At Completion of this sector by sector search, it will continue 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 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.$ DEFRAG.EXE01; DOS UTILITIES (C)1991 BY RO-SOFT ■ 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 disk 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.$ CHKFRAG.EXE01; DOS UTILITIES (C)1991 BY RO-SOFT ■ 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 dir- ectory, 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.$ GETMENU COLRMENU01COLORSET,501COLORSET,101; DOS UTILITIES BY ROBERT OSSOWSKI SETCOLOR : This is an internal function of the SHELL that allows you to set your desired screen, border, and highlite colors. It displays a palete 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.$ SCRNCLK.EXE02; 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 from within any application program. It displays in a 12 hour time format with AM/PM indication. It will display on window's screen, but cannot be called for relocation while system is in 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 on following page. row = 00 to 24, column = 00 to 69 Defaults are key code 9, row 24, column 69. CLK1.EXE : This is the same clock as SCRNCLK but 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.
