XFER is an utility meant for data transport by means of a 'null modem cable'.
It uses the XMODEM protocol (single file) and is capable to use speeds up to
57400 bps! The UART in the PC COM- port is adressed directly, so look out with
not-so-close compatibles...
==========================
CED - DOS Command Editor
Version 1.0D
==========================
Purpose
-------
CED (which stands for Command EDitor) provides the following
functions at the DOS prompt, or from within certain applications
programs:
-- Improved command line editing facility.
-- Recall of previously issued commands for re-entry.
-- Command synonyms, which may include "chaining" of a
series of commands.
-- Parameterization of synonym commands.
-- Recall of parameters for previously issued commands.
-- User-settable buffer sizes for all functions.
-- For programmers, a facility to add new "resident"
commands to the DOS shell.
System Requirements
-------------------
CED was written for the IBM PC/XT/AT and true compatibles.
CED requires DOS Version 2.00 or later. It increases the size of
resident DOS by about 16K bytes when installed. Most of this
space is, however, used for data storage, and the amount of
storage can be reduced. Thus, smaller versions of CED are
possible.
SETKEY
Changes keyboard typematic rate for the IBM AT only.
The default setting for the AT is equivalent to >SETKEY M2
The possible settings are A-Z, [, \, ], ^, _, ` and then 1-4.
If you just type SETKEY you will get a default of A1.
HDTEST was written to allow comprehensive Read/Write testing of hard
disks on IBM PCs, XTs, ATs, and "true" compatibles. Although many
programs, including IBM's diagnostics, allow "surface scanning" and
seek testing of hard disks, none that are available to the average
user test whether the whole disk can retain the data that is or will
be written to it. HDTEST's principal "claim to fame" is the ability
thoroughly to test the surface of a hard disk which contains data
while preserving the data (although data loss is unavoidable if a
cluster which is in use has become unreadable). HDTEST tests the disk
much more thoroughly than programs such as DFixer, Mace, and Norton's
DT. Mace and DT, like many public domain "disk test" programs, simply
read every cluster on the disk and report on any errors encountered.
DFixer does better, writing 4 test patterns to every free cluster and
checking that they can be read back correctly, but it makes no attempt
to test clusters that are already in use - the very ones which contain
your precious data!
HDTEST writes 20 different test patterns to every cluster on the disk
and checks that each pattern can be read back correctly, while
preserving the contents of the clusters that already contain data.
HDTEST can also (on most systems) detect errors which are minor enough
to be correctable (and corrected) by the disk controller's own "error-
correcting code" (ECC). These errors are normally totally invisible
to programs running under DOS and will not usually be picked up by
other disk test utilities. They may, however, be early signs of a
problem that will become significant later, and HDTEST consequently marks the
offending cluster as bad. As long as HDTEST can read the
data from a flaky cluster correctly once (and it tries quite hard) it
will be able to save the file of which that cluster is a part intact,
while marking the cluster so that DOS does not try to use it again.
SUPER MACS lets you redefine your keyboard, write the
current screen out to an ASCII file, print concurrently in DOS
3.0 or greater, and load and save files of keyboard macros from
within other applications. After it has been run, SUPER MACS
terminates and remains resident in memory. Then, simply by
pressing a couple of keys, you can call up the menu of commands
from within most any program.
(D)efine - Define a keyboard macro.
(L)oad - Load a disk file of keyboard macros.
(M)erge - Merge a file of macros.
(S)ave - Save current macros to a file.
(C)lear - Erase all current macros.
(W)riteScreen - Write the current screen to a file.
(P)rint - Print a file in DOS 3.0 or greater.
(Q)uit - Quit and return from SUPER MACS.
