Internet e-mail is the preferred method of contact for all other users as well. America On-Line, CompuServe, and Prodigy all offer Internet e-mail access so get with it! Since these programs are typically "freeware" (with the exception of people trying to make money from them instead of me), they generate maybe $100/year in revenue for me. As such, my ability to afford wonderful customer support is somewhat restricted. Please do not leave messages saying "Call me long distance". Also, please be specific about what problems you encounter and include command-line inputs as well as any control or INI files that you're using. The "production" releases of these programs are posted directly by me (Bruce Guthrie, the author) on the Simtel ftp site at ftp.coast.net. More information about locations at this site is provided later. People are encouraged to upload them to bulletin board systems but I do not upload them to BBS's myself.

BRUCE602.DOC 2 Revised: 02/18/96 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Introduction This documentation provides some overview information on a number of utilities. All programs described herein were written by Bruce Guthrie. Most are distributed with a Wayne Software copyright. Others were written for the U.S. Department of Commerce. All are free for use provided relevant documentation is kept with the programs, no changes are made to the programs or documentation, and they are not bundled with commercial programs or charged for separately. CHANGE, CONVERT, FILUPDAT, ISAMFIND/ISAMMAKE, READ, and READY are excluded from the commercial-packaging restriction. These programs are owned by the U.S. Department of Commerce and may be re-distributed without restriction. People who need to bundle AV, BFIND, COPSINCE, DATES, DIRCOMP, DIRTOTAL, FILL, FIXTEXT, FORTUNE, HTMSTRIP, PAGINATE, READINIT, or TXTABLE in commercial packages other than shareware/freeware collections must pay a $50 registration fee to "Wayne Software" at the following address. READMAKE-created files are also subject to this limitation. I don't expect to make any money from these utilities but I don't want others to sell them instead. This collection of utilities were compiled using Microsoft's Visual BASIC for DOS 1.0 compiler. Thomas G. Hanlin III's excellent PBClone routines, release 2.3, provided additional functionality. Since Tom has dropped support for his PBClone routines, some things will are simply not possible for me to do so don't push! The basic routines should be able to be maintained indefinitely as long as DOS continues to exist; we'll see. I keep thinking that I should be doing Windows programming but it's hard to get psyched up for that when you think of Windows as a computer virus. Documentation provided in appropriate ZIP files: * routine.DOC: Each utility is separately described in a like-named *.DOC file. * FILE_ID.DIZ: Standard Description In Zip file. * BRUCEymm.DOC: This file serves to summarize all of the various utilities. The "ymm" indicates the release date in year/month format. "601" means 1996, first month (Jan 1996). * BRUCEINI.DOC: Most of the routines have defaults that can altered by using initialization files (inifiles). These are referenced in the regular documentation and further described here. (One thing about *.INI files; if you don't have one, it's in your interests to specify the "/-I" parameter. Otherwise, the program searches your entire DOS path looking for the file.) * BRUCEHEX.DOC: Many of the routines allow you to enter parameters as either hexadecimal or decimal strings. This is referenced in the regular documentation and further described here. All program documentation was created using a text editor (PE2). The PAGINATE command (see below) was used to justify the text and create titles, page breaks, and (where provided) indexes. Beta testers and suggestions are always appreciated. Contact me at bguthrie@nmaa.org Note that all beta releases are done via e-mail so if your gateway can't handle some pretty big mail attachments, you definitely do NOT want to be a beta tester for me! Modifications that are not of mainstream use can be contracted for. BRUCE602.DOC 3 Revised: 02/18/96 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The programs themselves The utilities are uploaded with a ZIP name that includes the year and month of the release in a "ymm" format ("602" is the February 1996 version). The files are posted directly by the author to two places. The following Web site has the current versions of *all* programs: http://hjs.geol.uib.no/guthrie/ Thanks to Hans Schrader for the Web site! Major releases are also posted on the Simtel archives at ftp.coast.net (Web to http://www.coast.net/SimTel site.) Users are encouraged to post the files on bulletin boards and such but, again, the author directly posts only to these sites. If you're using a version of the programs that's more than a year old, it's almost always the case that there's a newer version. Please check for an update. If you can receive binary attachments, contact me at bguthrie@nmaa.org for free updates. Alternatively, send $10 made out to "Wayne Software" to the Wayne Software address above and I'll send you everything on diskette. (If you need anything other than 3.5" high density, specify that too please.) The versions of each program posted on SimTel are documented below along with the directory information for this site. The *current* versions of *all* programs are posted on the Web site in Norway. This listing is current as of the February 1996 (602) release. SimTel/msdos/arcutil/ av602.zip Archive View: Free ZIP etc directory viewer AV.EXE: Archive directory viewer. Presents list of files in archive (ZIP, ARC, etc) and lets you sort as desired. Also allows resetting of the file date based on the archive's contents. SimTel/msdos/textutil/ bfind511.zip Boolean FIND command (BFIND BEGIN & END) BFIND.EXE: Allows Boolean-type FIND requests. For example, find any line with one string AND another one, or any line with one string OR another. Also allows wildcarded input file names. SimTel/msdos/textutil/ chang510.zip Change strings in text files CHANGE.EXE: Processes change commands in files. Files can be of any size and type (e.g. binary or text) and are processed quickly. Up to thirty change commands can be processed in a single pass. Also provides ability to remove trailing spaces from text files. SimTel/msdos/spredsht/ convr601.zip Convert dBase, ASCII-delim, fixed, 1-2-3 CONVERT.EXE: Converts between data formats: FROM dBase, ASCII-delimited (typically commas between fields and quotes around strings), and fixed field TO Lotus WKS, ASCII-delimited, dBase, and fixed field. BRUCE602.DOC 4 Revised: 02/18/96 SimTel/msdos/dirutil/ cops601.zip Copies files modified since given date COPSINCE.EXE: Copies all files modified since a given date. Primarily used for making sure you have a back-up of files and also to copy updated programs to another place. Lets you define your own groupings of files if desired. SimTel/msdos/batutil/ dates601.zip Warns you in advance of birthdays etc DATES.EXE: Program that warns you in advance when an event like a birthday, anniversary, or holiday is coming up. The idea is to give you advance warning so you can send a card or get out of town in time. SimTel/msdos/dirutil/ dirco601.zip Updates files based on source directory DIRCOMP.EXE: Similar in some ways to DOS's REPLACE command but adds ability to delete extra files in the destination subdirectory, copy hidden and system files, and prepare a report showing inconsistencies. Is frequently used by network administrators to update workstation files. SimTel/msdos/dirutil/ dirto602.zip Directory lister and totaller DIRTOTAL.EXE: Prepares report showing files in subdirectory or drive. Allows restricting search based on date, size, attributes, etc. Works on networked and CD-ROM drives. Produces more formalized report than some utilities do. Also allows you to look for duplicate file names. SimTel/msdos/diskutil/ fill602.zip Stuffs as many files as possible on disk FILL.EXE: Program designed to move files off to floppy diskettes, taking the biggest files first and skipping those that won't fit. Also provides option of splitting large files up, creating a status report, and other features. SimTel/msdos/dirutil/ filup601.zip Copy updated files based on a control list FILUPDAT.EXE: Program which compares a selected list of files in a source path against those in another path and copies those that have been updated. Similar to DOS' REPLACE command but works from a stored list of files (controlled updates) and can handle any number of directories. SimTel/msdos/textutil/ fixtx602.zip Translate text file characters en masse FIXTEXT.EXE: Program which applies a user-definable character-translation table to a text file. Can allow you to convert graphics characters to their text equivalents, lowercase letters to uppercase letter, etc. Can also be used to translate DOS text files to Mac or Unix text files and vice versa. Can also expand tabs, remove trailing spaces, and remove backspaces. BRUCE602.DOC 5 Revised: 02/18/96 SimTel/msdos/batutil/ fortn510.zip Fine-tunes DOS FOR command w/options FORTUNE.EXE: A tuner-upper for the DOS FOR command. Generates a batch file which does all those wildcard things you wished FOR could do (like "FORTUNE IN (*.BAS) DO RENAME %A %2*.*" to remove parts of file names). Lets you do all sorts of things including distinguishing file name roots from their extensions as well as incrementing file names by specified values. SimTel/msdos/textutil/ htmst602.zip Reprocesses HTML pages for humans to read HTMSTRIP.EXE: Goes through downloaded pages from the Web and removes embedded HTML commands. Reflows paragraphs and tries to make it basically readable. SimTel/msdos/textutil/ isamf509.zip Full-text searching help desk documents ISAMFIND.EXE and ISAMMAKE.EXE: Programs that work in conjunction to provide full-text searching of text files. This is useful for helpdesk applications and other functions where you want to search for files and retrieve the "best" document that matches your search criteria. SimTel/msdos/textutil/ pagin601.zip Paginates text (indexes, sorts, tables) PAGINATE.EXE: Reformats text files with embedded formatting codes. Handles things like titles, footers, indexes, alignment, justification, multicolumn listings, etc. Also provides support for embedding tabular data in ASCII-delimited or dBase formats which can be embedded and/or sorted in your reports. SimTel/msdos/textutil/ read602.zip Free viewer, also make any text self-viewing READ.EXE, READY.EXE, READINIT.EXE, and READMAKE.EXE: Text file browsing utilities. READ--Supports marking, copying text, reading Unix and Mac text files, etc. Handles files of 16,000 lines or less (approx 800,000 bytes). READY--truncates or wraps lines over 255 characters in length but handles files of an unlimited number of lines. READMAKE--Takes an ASCII-text file and makes it self-viewable (using a READ clone). SimTel/msdos/textutil/ txtab602.zip Generates text tables TXTABLE.EXE: Program to generate text tables. Input file can be either: ┌───────────────────┬──────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ One line per cell │ Reasonably easy to switch columns around │ ├───────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ Pseudo-HTML code │ Why bother learning *two* ways of making tables? │ └───────────────────┴──────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ Includes quickie utility that dumps WordPerfect file into something this can read so you can try to convert WordPerfect tables to text. BRUCE602.DOC 6 Revised: 02/18/96 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Revision history Detailed revision histories for the programs are only maintained for the last three releases. After that, you get the major revision summaries only for the next three releases or so. In any case, if your version of any of these programs is more than a year old, your version is definitely obsolete. Hop onto the Web or e-mail me or something and get the new version! -------------- (full detail; revisions made 1 to 3 months ago) Release 96/02: AV: Added help screen (F1) and the ability to Ctrl-PgUp or Ctrl-PgDn through up to 500 archives. Require Y/N input if press Escape or Quit now. Added colors to the /? help panel. [Replaces av509.zip] DIRTOTAL: Added sorting by file extension. [Replaces dirto510.zip] FILL: Added an estimation of the number of diskettes left to go (shows up whenever you're prompted to insert the next diskette). [Replaces fill601.zip] FIXTEXT: Fixed a problem with switching to/from CR-LF-CR/LF. Sigh. Never make changes right before you release something... Also fixed a bug in /TEXT vs /-TEXT. Added /EOF and /-EOF. [Replaces fixtx601.zip] HTMSTRIP: Tables are now handled by the program. The table-handling code from the TXTABLE program was ported over. Added parameters: /BORDER=c and /BUFF=n. Dropped parameters: /TABLES, /-TABLES, and /TAB=n. [Replaces htmst601.zip] READ and READMAKE: Fixed an error that showed up if you used *.INI files. [Replaces read601.zip] READY: Added /FILTER=filename parameter (needed to read some more native word processing files and got tired of seeing π and ╙ instead of double quotes in someone's Mac file. Added /TEXT option to stop the program from loading anything it considered text only (it examines the first thousand bytes for non-ASCII characters). [Replaces read601.zip] TXTABLE: Internally, was significantly recoded in order for the code to portable to the HTMSTRIP command. Added the ability to support imbedded pseudo-HTML code as well in addition to the original input format. The former allows you to have more than one table in the input file. [Replaces txtab601.zip] Release 96/01: All routines: There are advantages to a month of snow and vacations. On the one hand, it gives you time to test out things and consider those changes you've been thinking about for so long. It also gives you plenty of time to hop on the Web and get new ideas and such. As a result, some of this month's releases include some major changes and enhancements. There's even a new routine or two. On the other hand, the number of people available to actually test these changes drops considerably (especially when much of the goverment was on furlough). Let's hope for the best! In the meantime, my Internet provider has actually got e-mail working so I'm happy. The bguthrie@nmaa.org address can be used for any of these routines. BRUCE602.DOC 7 Revised: 02/18/96 I've only been using this site for a week or so but, again, I'm hoping for the best! All routines: I got bored putting the same sections in every piece of documentation I write. The section on INI files has been expanded and moved into a separate file called BRUCEINI.DOC which is included in the appropriate ZIP files. Also, for the routines that support hexadecimal and decimal equivalent strings, the hexadecimal/decimal table has been moved into a separate file called BRUCEHEX.DOC which is also included in the appropriate ZIP files. This doesn't reduce the size of the ZIP at all (increases it actually) but it should reduce space if you use more than one of my programs. All routines: Finally dropped support for the CONFIGWS.EXE settings from all routines. CONVERT: Added cell filters (only write out the record based on the value of one or more cells in the record). This is especially useful with files like the SimTel archive file listing (ftp.coast.net, subdirectory SimTel/filedocs, filename simindex.zip) since it allows you to, for example, only get those files that were added since 951001. (Remember, the field-definition file for this file is included in the CONVERT archive.) Modified program to allow assignments to be made to created variables within a record. Fixed a bug with /GAP=n specification (didn't work unless you asked for an OUTDEF specification). Added the ability to read Unix or Mac text files. Switched default from /TO WKS to /TO FIXED. [Replaces convr512.zip] COPSINCE: Mostly documentation update. Some of what was specified there was wrong and didn't match what the routine could do now. Parameters are described a bit better now. [Replaces cops509.zip] DATES: Added /?&H parameter. DIRCOMP: Fixed a bug with /ALL (didn't copy if files were identical). Changed the default to write no report ("/-F") and added a "/F" option. Reformatted the output to the screen quite a bit. Fixed up colors again (some how, I deleted all of the code I added last time on this) and added "/-COLOR" option since I really hate white on blue (sorry!). Added a number of parameters that are the reverse of what's up there (e.g. /UPDATE and /-UPDATE) so INI files would work better and the screen display would make more sense. Changed file counters to double integer instead of single so you can use it on systems with like 2 million files instead of just 15,000-ish. (Don't ask.) [Replaces dirco512.zip] FILL: Minor change to make /LAST apply to /SPLIT disks as well. [Replaces fill512.zip] FILUPDAT: Added support for *.INI files. Allowed ctlfile to be passed in with /Cctlfile parm so it could appear in the *.INI file. [Replaces filup510.zip] FIXTEXT: Added a /BINARY option which lets you strip binary codes from things like native WordPerfect files. If anyone comes up with a useful character-translation table for this, please let me know! Didn't realize it during testing but "/TO CRLF" type requests had to be in uppercase to work; changed that. Also added a queue that keeps track of which files have already been processed so if you're using wildcards with /REPLACE, you won't get the same file processed multiple times. [Replaces fixtx512.zip] BRUCE602.DOC 8 Revised: 02/18/96 HTMSTRIP: Decided to simplify the programming considerably by removing support for the PAGINATE command. All parameters that were specific to PAGINATE have been dropped. Dropped support for /-WRAP option (who'd want that anyway?). Made /WIDTH a synonym for /LENGTH; changed documentation to make /LENGTH the standard wording. Switched default to /-SYMBOLS and /-WARNINGS. More debugging in <PRE>...</PRE> blocks. Now handles <DD> and <OPTION> HTML commands. Changed the way the warning and other on-screen messages were displayed; should be a bit clearer now. Titles of pages are now centered. Allowed for &...; replacements using the more relaxed rules that seem prevalent today in Web pages (" " is the standard but both " " and "&32;" are being used). Added a few replacements that I couldn't find documented anywhere; where else are people getting these from? Tables come out better now but they're certainly not perfect. Eventually, HTMSTRIP will handle the HTML 3.0 tables directly and the TXTABLE program (which is introduced this time) is a first shot at figuring out how to handle them. (TXTABLE doesn't directly handle HTML documents but there's an undocumented /TEST parameter in HTMSTRIP which generates an output file that TXTABLE reads and another undocumented /HTML parameter in TXTABLE which processes them; the combination shows you how I might be handling them in the future.) I processed over a thousand Web pages with this command in January alone; it's amazing how many variations (and errors) there are in these things! [Replaces htmst512.zip] PAGINATE: Coded to make WIDTH a synonym for LENGTH; changed documentation to make LENGTH the standard wording. Added ERRORLEVEL return codes. [Replaces pagin512.zip] READ, READMAKE: Changed program so F3/F9 would find next line with string, not necessarily the next occurence of the string itself. Tabs are now expanded on display. This causes the maximum line length to shift periodically but that's life. F3/F9 now work consistently when you change documents with Ctrl-PgUp and Ctrl-PgDn. Added /?&H parameter. [Replaces read509.zip] READINIT: Fixed a bug with passing in parms into the routine. Added /?&H parameter. [part of read601.zip] READY: Allowed the program to handle files with lines of 132 or 255 characters. Added parameters /80, /132, and /255 to let you specify which one to use but otherwise the program reads the first 6000 bytes of the file and determines the maximum line length from there. Results in a bigger temporary file of course. Added the various horizontal scrolling key options--Right Arrow, Left Arrow, Tab, Shift-Tab, Ctrl-Right, Ctrl-Left. Modified /INDENT=n parameter to allow you to specify an indent string indicator with the ability to include decimal and hexadecimal codes. Fixed up a bug with /INDENT=0. Allowed you to indent the first line of a continued line instead of the subsequent lines by passing in /INDENT=-n. Added /?&H to show you the hexadecimal and decimal values. Added support for binary files including native format word processing files; new options for this include: /BINARY, /FILTER, /EOL=str. This allows you to read something like a Microsoft Word for Windows document and write it out as a text file; requires a lot of manual work to create something usuable from the result but it's something. Default switched to /WRAP. Added /?&H parameter. [part of read601.zip] TXTABLE: New program. I'm not really sure what will become of this program. Originally, it was designed as a way of processing WordPerfect tables which no one seems to be able to write out correctly when you do the TextOut function. I also figured it would help in terms of figuring out how to handle HTML 3.0 BRUCE602.DOC 9 Revised: 02/18/96 tables in the HTMSTRIP command. The ZIP includes a (hopefully temporary) program called XWPTABLE.EXE which retrieves cells from WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS files and writes them out in a format that TXTABLE can read and process. [New program; replaces nothing] Release 95/12: All routines: This release is dedicated to the comic strip "Calvin and Hobbes" which is about to disappear from 2,400 newspapers across the world. I'm not alone in knowing that I'll miss that strip, the only really bright spot in comics these days. (Being a nerd, I also enjoy "Dilbert" but that strip never brings out the wonder of life, just the basic horrors of the work place.) Now I'll never know the horrors that someone like Calvin will face on his first date. (Can you imagine how he would have perceived of something like a bra strap?) It was also nice to know someone who was socially less fit than I was even while his cohort was so damned suave. Some routines may not work with Windows95's new directory format. I'm not crazy enough to have installed the 1.0 version of an operating system so I don't know but you might keep it in mind. CONVERT: Now allows you to read fixed-fixed files which contain lines which do not end with CR/LF. These are typical of files created on a mainframe or copied from a tape. The routine SPLITREC was previously included with the routine to get around this but that's being dropped with this release. Now allow the input and output file types to be the same; useful if you want to just reformat some existing data. New parameters: /SCAN=n (allows you to specify the number of records to scan for maximum field widths if /FROM ASCII and /-INDEF are specified) and /GAP=n (adds n-characters to each output field if /-INDEF and /TO FIXED are specified so columns will be spaced out a little). Added a field-definition file (SIMIBM.DEF) for the SimTel file archives. Cleaned up the output field-definition file a little. Changed the field-definition file to make the decimal count and output length optional. DIRCOMP: Now allow for up to 10 file exclusions. FILL: Added a message for "last disk of /MULTI set" if you're writing to the last of a multi-disk set. Also /LAST and /-LAST option indicator to control whether it shows up or not. FIXTEXT: Added automatic detection of input text format (lines end with CR/LF, CR alone, or LF alone). Makes the program ideal for automatically converting all files in a given subdirectory from, say, Unix text files to DOS text files. This became necessary as I started downloading more files from the Web. Dropped a number of parameters related to this: /CRLF, /CR, and /LF. Fixed-length input files now require /n parameter instead of both /-LINE and /WIDTH=n parameters. Fixed-length output files now require /TO n parameter instead of both /TO -LINE and /WIDTH=n parameters. Dropped /WIDTH=n parameter. Now allow the output files to be created in another subdirectory, allowing you to convert a whole bunch of files from something one place and create them to another subdirectory. Changed default to be not to produce a *.BAD file (/-F). HTMSTRIP: Decided HTMSTRIP did a decent enough job handling the files that the second PAGINATE pass was no longer necessary so /-PAG (don't use PAGINATE) is now the default. Split HTMSTRIP out from the PAGINATE ZIP for the same reason. Added parameters: /SPACES, /-SPACES, /TAB=n, /WARNINGS, /-WARNINGS, /RULE=string. Added support for HTML pages with Centering, whether PAGINATE BRUCE602.DOC 10 Revised: 02/18/96 is used or not. Added ability to replace [Image], [Input], and [Link] with your own strings. Lots of bug fixes. Added lots of additional codes in the HTMSTRIP.INI file as specified by Dave Raggett's HyperText Markup Language Specification Version 3.0 draft (03/28/95). Lots of debugging on tables including handling (in a way) tables embedded in tables. Dropped /FORCE parameter. Added automatic detection and skipping of GIF, JPEG, and BMP files so you can process all the files in your cache subdirectory. PAGINATE: New /Linitfile parameter (allows you to replace characters from the input file when you write out the file). New marker commands: -TITLE, -FOOTER, -HEADER (turn off existing titles, footers, and headers), and PAGEEJECT=string. Dropped HTML and -HTML market commands since HTMSTRIP should really be used instead. Removed HTMSTRIP from the ZIP and separately distributing. Fixed following bugs: (1) reduced chance of blow up if totally whacked ASCII-delimited files, (2) the RIGHT marker command didn't work, and (3) fixed a bug which kept writing out Alt-255 characters for things like bulleted items; they are now replaced by regular spaces on output. Other changes: (1) Got tired of it automatically generating an extra page (complete with title) if you just happened to write to the last line of the previous page so made titles conditional on actually printing something afterward (unless EJECT FRONT or EJECT BACK is specified). (2) Am now providing a file PAGNOASC.INI which removes graphic and other possibly non-printable characters on output (see /Linitfile parameter). (3) The program now removes leading spaces from input sections in which "# CENTER" is in effect; this way re-centering can be successfully done. -------------- (kind of terse; revisions made 4 to 6 months ago) Release 95/11: BFIND: Added /EMPTY and /-EMPTY options. Program now reads non-DOS files. DIRCOMP: Fixed a bug with the /-F option. HTMSTRIP: Added automatic wrapping based on the desired line length so you don't have to use PAGINATE. READY: Added /LOAD option. Release 95/10: BFIND: Added wildcard and @listfile support to program. CHANGE: Added @listfile support to program. CONVERT: Fixed a bug with writing to DBF files when you wanted input fields dropped. FILUPDAT: Added /ERROR and /-ERROR parameters. FIXTEXT: Added wildcard and @listfile input file name support to program. HTMSTRIP: New command. Is included in the archive with the PAGINATE command. PAGINATE: Added support for wildcards and @listfile specification. Additional command line parms: /EXT=.xxx, /PAUSE, and /-PAUSE. New marker commands: SUM, BREAK, INDENTER=string, FLAG=string, and RULE=string. Release 95/09: BRUCE602.DOC 11 Revised: 02/18/96 All programs: Switched documentation to include page headers, full justification, etc using PAGINATE command. CHANGE: Added wildcard specs for the input file. ISAMFIND/ISAMMAKE: Lots of changes (parms added and dropped). Added support for combining files to be processed into a single file. PAGINATE: Added support for the output file name in titles, footers, etc. READ: Fixed some problems with searching. READY: Added line processing ranges.
