- Here's an updated list of my free programs as of June 29, 1993:

-
- PROGRAM: DIRX.EXE
- TITLE: Directory of eXecutables v1.10, 06/29/93
- ARCHIVE: DIRX110.ZIP
- Shell for detecting files compressed by several executable file compressors.
- Calls on user-selectable external programs to transparently compress and
- uncompress files from within the program. Currently supported are AXE,
- DIET, EXEPACK, ICE, LEXEM, LZEXE, PKLITE, SCRNCH, SHRINK and TINYPROG. New:
- Updated for PKLITE 1.15 compressed .COM files. Also, no longer messes with
- your DOS-level screen colors.
-
- PROGRAM: DIRXC.EXE
- TITLE: DirX Command-line lister v1.10, 06/29/93
- ARCHIVE: DIRXC110.ZIP
- Smaller, simpler version of DirX for when you just want a listing of
- compressed and uncompressed files. Listing is redirectable to printer or
- file. Mimicks DOS's DIR command, to an extent. No sorting is performed.
- New: Updated for PKLITE 1.15 compressed .COM files. Also, indicates
- compression types using full names (e.g. "pklite" and "diet") rather than
- cryptic abbreviations.
-
- PROGRAM: RV.EXE
- TITLE: RView v2.50, 03/20/93
- ARCHIVE: RV250.ZIP
- Customizable archive lister & utility. Currently supported are ARC, ARJ,
- HYP, LZH, LZS, PAK, SQZ, ZIP & ZOO. Displays ZIP- or LZH-style compression
- ratios. Various sort options. Converts self-extracting archives back to
- normal. Misc. other features. New: Supports Squeeze It 1.08.3 (dated
- 24-Jan-93) and Hyper 2.5.
-
- PROGRAM: RVS.EXE
- TITLE: RView Shell v1.11, 03/20/93
- ARCHIVE: RVS111.ZIP
- Shell for viewing and extracting the contents of several archive types.
- Calls on user-selectable external programs to extract and view. Currently
- supported are ARC, ARJ, HYP, LZH, LZS, PAK, SQZ, ZIP and ZOO. Displays
- either ZIP- or LZH-style compression ratios. Various sort options. New:
- Supports Squeeze It 1.08.3 (dated 24-Jan-93) and Hyper 2.5. Extracting with
- all files tagged is faster than previously.
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- My development copy of RVS extends the /V[ext] options specified in RVS.CFG
- to work outside of archives too. For example, when looking at a DOS
- directory, pressing <Enter> in a filename will invoke the appropriate viewer
- just as from within archives.
-
- PROGRAM: DBV.EXE
- TITLE: DBF View v1.22, 08/08/92
- ARCHIVE: DBV122.ZIP
- Simple viewer for taking quick looks inside dBASE-compatible .DBF files in
- record and browse modes. Does single-field, scan-across searches. File
- header info, including field definitions, can be displayed either in
- interpreted (human-readable) format, or as hex bytes. Editing of fields in
- both record and browse modes enabled by command-line switch. New: The /Fx
- switch sets different levels of filtering for .DBF files.
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- My development copy allows a simplified form of complex search. The
- original simple search is still supported, but from the pull-down menu, you
- could, for example, specify: name = "brown" and date = "1/1/93" and any
- matching records are found. A control-key command will continue the last
- search.
-
- PROGRAM: FIX.EXE
- TITLE: File Fix v3.04, 08/08/92
- ARCHIVE: FIX304.ZIP
- Binary editor, with record orientation, which allows searches for either
- text or hex strings. Default record size automatically set to maximum
- allowed by number of lines on screen. (Maximum record size is 576 bytes
- with a 50-line screen.) The program draws from a common library of routines
- shared with other programs I've written. Color or black-and-white mode
- automatically determined at program start-up. New: Typing of extended
- ASCII characters enabled (for non-American users with modified keyboards).
-
- PROGRAM: ZFV.EXE
- TITLE: ZIP Format View v1.11, 08/08/92
- ARCHIVE: ZFV111.ZIP
- Allows you to see how a ZIP file is laid out on disk. Uses windowing to
- step down to lower levels of detail. Displays header offsets and most field
- values, including their interpretation. Admittedly, this program isn't for
- everyone. For the curious and those with a need to know, however, this
- program displays technical data on ZIP files that I haven't seen in any
- other program. New: Switch to set level of filtering for ZIP files.
- Configuration file for default switches. Updated for the Super-fast Deflate
- compression algorithm.
-
- PROGRAM: CRC.EXE
- TITLE: Cyclic Redundancy Checker v1.20, 02/08/92
- ARCHIVE: CRC120.ZIP
- Displays 16- and 32-bit CRC's of files or directory contents. 16-bit CRC
- same as for ARC, LZH, LZS, PAK and ZOO files. 32-bit CRC same as for ARJ
- and ZIP. "CRC filespec" displays individual CRC's for the specified
- file(s). "CRC path" displays accumulated CRC's of all files contained in
- the specified directory. May be used to compare files/directories on
- physically separated machines, or to see if changes have occurred over time.
- New: The functions of both CRC v1.14 and CRCDIR v1.00 have been combined
- into a single program.
