-
- 27. March 1994
-
- APPDEV.COM - (APPendDEVicedriver) is an utility that permits to append a
- device driver usually installed at boot time from within CONFIG.SYS also later
- on when actually needed. See also QSEL!
-
- ARRAYEXT - A collection of 60 procedures and functions that permit very fast
- manipulation of dimensioned variable arrays under Power BASIC version 2 and 3.
-
- BOOTREP - Small package with four programs that permit reading and re-
- writing of boot sector on diskettes in drive A and B. Usable to get rid of
- viruses that infect the boot sector on data diskettes (e.g. Form).
-
- BTBM - Block Text Base Manager. Free-format text data base. A block can
- be accessed either by entering the block number or its identifier. If none is
- known, you can enter one, two or three words or sentenses believed to be in
- the text block you are looking for. A small example data base about Dr. Isaac
- Asimovs science fiction novels comes with BTBM. There are two versions of
- BTBM: an english and a german one.
-
- CCDTOOLS - Large package permitting the conversion of images taken by an
- Astro-CCD-Camera 'Lynxx' by Spectra Source Instruments and 'ST-4' by SBIG.
- Tools to view and analyse images in a way not perceived by the original soft-
- ware writers for the cameras.
-
- DUMPANY - Dumps files and memory to screen, printer or report file. Dump
- values are in bytes and words as decimal, hex and binary. Parts of files and
- parts of memory can be copied to a binary file. Data from a file can be loaded
- into memory at the desired address. Individual bytes can be changed in memory.
- Any interrupt can execute after all iAPX8086-compatible CPU-registers are
- loaded and their values are returned after the execution of the interrupt.
-
- HEXER - translates any binary file to a Hex-Intel compatible file and
- vice-versa. Very useful for 7-bit datatransfers.
-
- HITMISS - Game. Don't get it if you haven't got some brains.
-
- HTBM - Hierarchical Text Base Manager. Free-format text data base with up
- to 10 nested levels. A text is accessed by typing one of the indicated
- keywords, if there is more on a lower level, the respective keywords are again
- listed. There are two versions of HTBM: an english and a german one.
-
- NGC Data base about 1,762 New Galactic Catalogue Objects with positions.
- Needs BTBM version 2.00 or higher.
-
- P0DUMP - Dumps onto screen PSP (Program Segment Prefix).
-
- QSEL.COM - (QuerySelectErrorLevel) is an utility that creates a command
- file with a name supplied by you (e.g. MYFILE.COM). If MYFILE is later run, it
- asks the question you entered when QSEL was run. If you answer Y (yes), the
- error level variable will be set to 23, if your answer is N (no), to 0. It is
- meant to run MYFILE from within a BATch file and make use of the error level
- returned with an IF clause. See also APPDEV!
-
- SENDHEX - small utility to send ascii-hex codes to a peripheral device.
-
- STARTIME - Calculates the local mean star time (sidereal time) for up to
- 12 places of your choice and can be used to adjust a star time clock.
-
- SKYPLOT - Plots the 88 constellations and the planets positions for any
- place and any time on a polar diagram, the local horizon can be included in
- the plot. Not only for amateur astronomers: everyone who has an interest in
- observing the nightsky might find it useful.
-
- TEXT2COM - Creates from a text file an executable COMmand file and en-
- crypts it at the same time. When the text file is later run, its contents are
- automatically decrypted and sent to the standard output device, that means it
- can be redirected as well.
-
- UNIVERSE - Database for HTBM about the earth, moon, planets, stars,
- nebulae, black holes, quasars, satellites. In short, a hierarchical organized
- encyclopaedia about everything a serious hobby astronomer wants to know. Some
- entries are in the english language, other in the german one. (3,388 entries.)
- And you won't believe it: UNIVERSE is also available as a Apple MacIntosh
- Hypercard Stack!
-
- ZIFORTH - FORTH compiler after the fig (Forth Interest Group) standard 79
- for MS-DOS. Interrupts are supported and the code can be made ROMable. Comes
- with source code (8086), map and debugging files for Turbo ASSEMBLER (Borland
- International) and MicroSoft ASSEMBLER 5.0. It is not actually my program, but
- I translated it from the original Z80 source code for CP/M to 8086 and MS-DOS.
