QUTIL2 (OS/2) - 1.00
Documentation
Copyright 1992-1993, Thomas G. Harold, All Rights Reserved.
QUTIL2 is a collection of programs that mimic common *nix
utility programs as well as other small utilities.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I. Installation:
Installation of this package is as simple as copying the
executable files to a directory in your path statement.
II. Files:
The following is a list and a brief explanation of the
programs included in this package. See the individual *.DOC
files for a more extensive discussion of each program.
QBANNER text
------------
QBANNER mimics the "banner" command and prints the text
to standard output using a large 8x8 character font.
QCAL [[month] year]
-------------------
QCAL mimics the "cal" command and will print a miniature
calendar for the current month, for an entire year, or for a
specific month of a given year.
QDATE [-filename] [+"format"]
-----------------------------
QDATE is akin to the *nix "date" command and prints the
current date and time according to a specified format.
QREN [-f] filename newfile
--------------------------
QREN allows the renaming of files using either the current
date and time, or the date/time of the file. QREN can also
be used to rename directories.
QSLEEP seconds
--------------
QSLEEP imitates the "sleep" command which suspends execution
for a specifed number of seconds. QSLEEP is useful for pausing
batch files for certain amount of time.
QTEE [-a] files...
------------------
QTEE imitates the "tee" command which reads lines from the
standard input and copies the lines to a file or group of files
as well as printing the lines to standard output. The files are
normally overwritten but can be appended to using the "-a" option.
WAITTILL HH:MM
--------------
WAITTILL suspends execution until the time specified by HH:MM
(in military style format).
QWHICH execfile
---------------
QWHICH imitates the "which" command and searches the current
directory and every directory in the PATH statement for executable
files that match "execfile". Wildcards are allowed.

Usage of any of the programs within QUTIL2 is free to
individuals using it for personal/private use. Educational
institutions are also granted free usage. I do ask that if any
of the programs in the QUTIL2 package are to be used by an
educational institution that I be notified for informational
purposes. Use in a business environment or for business purposes
requires a site licence. (See SITELICN.DOC for current pricing
policy.)
