BACKGRND (Ver. 1.0) Enable 16 background text colors
===================
Usage: BACKGRND [/blink] [/high] [/status] [/help] [/quiet]
enable Blinking ─┘ │ │ │ │
High intensity background ─┘ │ │ │
Status of the blink/intensity bit ─┘ Help ─┘ │
Quiet, no author's caption ─┘
If you have an EGA or better in your PC, there are sixteen different
text foreground color options, but only eight background color
options in the text mode. The number of background colors can be
increased to sixteen by manipulating the high intensity / blinking
bit. If this bit is set off, then there will be sixteen possible
background colors, but blinking will be disabled. If the bit is on
(as is the default), blinking is enabled, but the high intensity
background option is disables and the background colors are limited
to the eight.
This program can be used the set the value of the high intensity /
blinking bit. If no switches are set, the program acts as a toggle
between the two modes.
Is this just a trivial demonstration utility? Not entirely. Some
programs alter the status of high intensity / blink enable bit
without restoring the original status afterwards. This can be
somewhat annoying. If you launch such a program from a batch file you
can easily set things back the way you want in the batch. For
example the following program (the version number may change)

tcpy203c.zip Speedy multi-volume file transfer program, good, P.leRiche
turns the blink enable off while on is the default I prefer. I use
the following batch to call Turbo Copy
@echo off
set switch_=
:_next
if "%1"=="" goto _doit
set switch_=%switch_% %1
shift
goto _next
:_doit
if not "%switch_%"=="" f:\progs\box\tc%switch_% /z-
if "%switch_%"=="" f:\progs\box\tc
set switch_=
c:\tools\backgrnd /blink /quiet
:_out
The switches in BACKGRND.EXE have the following synonyms:
/blink -blink /bl -bl
/high -high /hi -hi
/status -status /st -st
/help -help /h -h
/quiet -quiet /q -q
SAMESIZE (Ver 1.0) Browse disk for samesized files
==================
Usage: SAMESIZE [Device:] [SecondDevice:] [/h] [/s]
help ─┘ │
Size only, without datestamp as the criterion ─┘
This program searches through disk(s) for multiple occurrences of
files of same size and datetime stamps. The multiple file runs will
be displayed on the screen with the path, date and time information.
You can redirect the output to a file.
E.g. use SAMESIZE C: /S > C.LOG
SAMESIZE can handle up to 8191 files. If there are more files than
that, the program will finally abort cleanly.
