--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Disk No 667 The Writer's Toolkit v1 DS2 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Writer's Toolkit is a collection of 20 executable utility programs inspired by Kernighan and Pike's Software Tools. Most of the utilities are filters that process text files. These utilities include: converting lower case to upper case and upper case to lower case, encrypting and decrypting files etc. Each utility has a well written and concise documentation file. The doc files give examples for each utility. The most interesting program is MEMO. This program will display memos that have the same date as the system date. CALENDAR displays the calendar for any given month. You will need to have a CONFIG.SYS file that has the command "DEVICE=ANSI.SYS" in it in order for the calendar to be displayed correctly. CALENDAR works for dates between 1901 and 1989. The Writer's Toolkit is user-supported with a $15.95 registration contribution requested to support further development of the software. ????????
