Some programs make assumptions that you should be familiar with: - ANSI.SYS is required by some programs. - Fairly extensive use is made of environment variables, such as GD.TTY.RIGHTS and GD.SOUND. Set GD.TTY.RIGHTS=N and some command-line programs will suppress copyright notices. Set GD.SOUND=N and BU won't make any noise. GD.D controls the default parameters for D. - /? will in many cases display brief help messages. All these utilities, and more, are available on C+NET BBS: (403) 477-9545. THIS IS ALSO WHERE UPDATES AND BUG FIXES ARE POSTED! If you have comments, suggestions, feedback, please leave e-mail for the sysop. SysOps may FileRequest (FREQ) a current list of programs with the magic name DIS. Below is a sampling (not current) of DIS programs. Under F/S is indicated if a program is FreeWare or ShareWare. ZIP name F/S Description ======== === ==================================================== 2H F 2H converts ANY file to a C/C++ header file Useful for those who want to include a number of files in a single .EXE file, such as an install program. 2PS F Convert ASCII files to PostScript 2PS formats files for printing on a PostScript printer. The format used is nice and compact: normally two pages on each physical page, borders surrounding pages, headers with useful information (page number, printing date, file name), line numbering, etc. Useful for printing program listings. 2ROWCOL F For Batch Files: Move to Anywhere on the Screen 2ROWCOL enhances the use of MS-DOS batch files. Check 2R.BAT for examples. ANSCOLOR F Convert an ASCII file to an ANSI-colored file. ASCII F Show ASCII code table. C source. AT F Show Text Anywhere on the Screen in Colour. C source included. AT enhances the use of DOS batch files. Check AT-A-BOY.BAT for examples. AUDIT_PW S NetWare Security: Audit User Passwords AUDIT_PW was developed to tighten up network security on Novell networks. Many users use very easy to guess passwords. A common password is a potential security leak! AUDIT_PW uses a file with common passwords to try on each user account. All common passwords are reported. A user info file and a status file with other security information are als created. MAKE SURE TO TURN INTRUDER DETECTION/LOCKOUT OFF BEFORE YOU START! AUDITREP F Audit Trail Listing in various formats for The Major BBS V6.25: - use alternate input file (e.g., a previously backed up BBSAUDIT.DAT file) - use alternate output file - long format puts all data on a single long line - user activity report - verbose mode - "nosysop" mode omits SysOp information BEEP F Batch program to beep the speaker when "BU S" doesn't BINARY F Convert decimal (int) numbers to Binary (bits) BIRDIE F The official Trudeau salute. Uses ANSI.SYS or equivalent. BORDER F Change border color of VGA and CGA displays BU F Batch Utility BU enhances the use of MS-DOS batch files. Automate AUTOEXEC.BAT files for BBS and network servers, build menu systems, many more uses!

CAST F CAST shows the status of CASTON/CASTOFF on Novell NetWare servers. CDPATH F Save & Restore Drive/Directory Settings Useful little utility to go back to where you were (drive and directory) before you started a program. CDROM F CD-ROM Information (C source) Shows whether the Microsoft CD-ROM Extensions (MSCDEX) are installed, and if so, which version. CDROM lets you know if you're using and outdated MSCDEX driver. CDROM then tries to determine how many CD-ROM drives you have, and their drive letters. CHANGED F Locate files with archive bit set across all drives. CHKDISK F CHKDSK replacement, complete with /F. Gag! CHKSUBS F Check maximum subdirectory level. Print those directories that exceed the level you specify. COFFEE F Who's buying coffee... C source shows how to use random numbers and stuctures. Modify to create your own gambling operation! CONVERT F Convert decimal, hex, and octal numbers COOKIE S Fortune cookies, wisdom, funny sayings Try COOKIE /ANSI for a different look (BBS mode). ShareWare $20. D F Great DIR Replacement. Try D /? for options. DEMO_ARG F Command line argument processing demo with C source DIGCLOCK F Very expensive digital clock. C source available on request. DIS-LIBS F "DIS" development C library - .H and .LIB files needed to compile DIS source files. These libraries are updated regularly! DISKIMAG F Read and Write Floppy Disk Images Useful for backup of floppies and for making multiple disk copies. DOCPRINT F DocPrint formats documentation for printing. DRIVEMAN F Enable and Disable Floppy Drive Access Prevent users from putting a virus on your network by turning the floppy drives off. DSUM S Disk Drive Summary DOS utility shows statistics on all physical and logical drives, including network, SUBST, and CD-ROM drives. For each drive you see volume label, total capacity, Kbytes used, Kbytes free, % free, low space indicator, current path, mapped directory, more. ShareWare $15 per user. DUSAGE S Netware Disk Usage Analysis This DOS utility is a network disk management tool. It allows network administrators to manage disk space on the network more intelligently. Indicates among others, low disk space for users with disk quota (volume restrictions) in place. ShareWare $25 per individual user, or $100 per server. EASTER F Show the date for Easter for any requested year. C source. Requires DIS-LIBS.ZIP to recompile. EMPTYDIR F Remove Empty Directories NetWare administration is made difficult when users create a whole bunch of subdirectories, and then don't put files in them. EMPTYDIR is a DIS utility that identifies empty directories, and creates a batch file to do house cleaning if you redirect output to a .BAT file, e.g., EMPTYDIR * >clean.bat EQ F Capture Equipment Information Redirect to file if you need to send the information to someone via disk or modem. ERRLEVEL F Set errorlevel for testing batch files. C source and sample batch files included. EVENT F Event Scheduler for use in batch files. FATR S Change File Attributes Interactively Set and remove all file attributes. Even hidden status on directories! ShareWare $15 per user.

You set up logical names for your directories in the DOS environment. GST F GST Calculator. C code for illustration included. HINT F Find Text in (EXE) Files HINT is a specialized automatic program documenter. Real Programmers know that the only reliable documentation is the code itself, but a lot of programs come as executable code only, and I've never met a programmer who claims that EXE files are easy to read. HINT doesn't document these things, but it can help give some clues. INGROUP F Determine if a user is member of a group Returns errorlevel 1 if user IS a member of the named group. Partial C source included. ISDIR F See if directory exists. C source. ISDRIVE F See if drive exists. C source. LASTDRV F Returns LASTDRIVE setting in the errorlevel Written to switch between NETX and VLM to talk to a Netware file server. Using this program in a connect-to-network batch file, just change the LASTDRIVE setting in your CONFIG.SYS, and the batch file can figure out which shell to use. LOADED F Check for loaded TSRs. C source illustrates how to do it in your own programs, or just use the programs in a batch file. DIS-LIBS.ZIP required to recompile. MKFNAME S Create a File Name based on Today's Date This program comes in real handy when automating any kind of regular updates, based on the current date.

SCANDIR is designed as a clean-up utility to go through a part or all of a hard disk's files, and erase files if so instructed. Even read-only files can be removed by SCANDIR. SCANDIR1 F Directory processing example in C shows how MSC's _dos_findfirst() and _dos_findnext() work much better than homebrewed functions. Plus other code that is useful for the beginning C programmer. SDIR F Sorted directory with interactive file delete Tag files for deletion, and then delete them all at once. Files may be listed by name, extension, size, date/time. View files before you decide to delete. SHOWBULL S NetWare News Bulletin Display LAN admin. DOS utility displays news bulletins to the user. The bulletin is displayed only once. Perfect for login scripts! ShareWare $25/server. SHOWDIZ F Pops up FILE_ID.DIZ on your screen for viewing Useful for creating ZIP files for upload.

Useful if you need to make the same changes to a large number of files. No docs yet--just for VD. TMSG F Tracking System for NetWare Administration Two programs make up the tracking system. TMSG records your messages in an ASCII file. TMSG_LOG takes the ASCII file, analyzes the records and updates two .DBF files. These .DBF files can then be manipulated as you see fit. If logged in to NetWare, messages are logged to the network In stand-alone mode, messages are logged to C:\. TOGGLE F Toggle NumLock, CapsLock, and ScrollLock Toggle any combination ON, OFF, or FLIP!
