This program is freeware and may be distributed freely, as long as all files
are included. I do retain all copyrights. It may not be disassembled or 
altered in any way without my expressed written permission.


Included Files
==============

IS.EXE              DOS Executable
IS2.EXE             OS/2 Executable
IS.TXT              This file
HISTORY.TXT         History of changes
FILE_ID.DIZ         BBS Description file
AVEXTRA.TXT         Other Intelec Software Programs
REGISTER.TXT        How to register our shareware
NEWKEYS.TXT         More info for our shareware programs

If all of the above files aren't included in the archive, you 
have an altered archive and no guarantees will be made about the
contents.


WHAT IT DOES
============

IS compares a files actual size against a given size, and returns
an errorlevel based on that comparison. This allows you to do batch
processing based on a file's size.


INSTALLATION
============

Extract the files to a directory, preferably one located in your path
(place the DOS EXE in your DOS path, and the OS/2 EXE in your OS2 path)
That's it!


USAGE
=====

To use the utility in a BAT/CMD file, the syntax is:

IS  filename size [-!]

filename = path\filename of the file to check
           the filename MUST come before the size.

size     = max. size of file before returning bad errorlevel (see errorlevels)
           size should be given in Kilobytes (1 = 1K)

-!       = if this optional parameter is given, it turns on debug mode
           and additional information will be displayed.

run the utility with no parameters for a help display.

ERRORLEVELS
===========

The utility returns one of three possible errorlevels:

0 - File was under the indicated size
1 - File doesn't exist
2 - File was over the indicated size

By testing the errorlevel, you can take actions according to it's size
(even whether or not it exists). See (Examples) 

LOGGING
=======

All output is sent to Standard Output and may be redirected to a file
which can be used to keep a log. See (Examples)

EXAMPLES
========

The following are several example batch file command lines and their
explanations. Note that errorlevels must be checked it descending
order for them to evaluate properly:

#1
    IS C:\INTELEC.REP 20
    IF ERRORLEVEL 2 GOTO TOOBIG

    Checks whether the file is larger than 20K and jumps to the label
    TOOBIG if it is.

#2  
    IS C:\SOMEFILE.ZIP 50
    IF ERRORLEVEL 2 GOTO LARGE
    IF ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO NOTTHERE
    IF ERRORLEVEL 0 GOTO SMALL

    Checks whether the file is larger than 50K. If it is, it jumps to
    the label LARGE. If the file doesn't exist, it jumps to another
    label. If it isn't, it jumps to a third label.

#3
    IS C:\FLAGS\ANOTHER.FLG 1
    IF ERRORLEVEL 1 NOT ERRORLEVEL 2 GOTO MISSING

    This example shows a what to test for the existance of a file
    (though IF EXIST works as well). Notice the stacjed method of
    using the errorlevel commands to catch a specific errorlevel.


 #4
    IS SOME.ZIP 10 -!>>c:\logs\is.log
    IF ERRORLEVEL 2 REN SOME.ZIP SOME.BIG

    This example checks that the file is less than 10K, turns 
    debugging mode on to display additional information, and
    redirects all output to a file.
