=====PsL Monthly Additions Disks
The programs in this section are new small programs of different types.
Disks of new small programs specific to Windows, to Programming, to Games
and to Utilities are in those sections.
-----October 1993 Additions Disk #1
Archive Finder 1.26 [AF126]
File Finder
JC Boggio; $0
is a file finder which with numerous options, including searching inside
archive files. Complete TP source code and explanation of archive structures
is included. (Note: Author is French. See AF.ENG for English documentation.)
CMDisk. [CMDISK]
Disk Utilities
Charles F. Martin, ASP; $8
is a set of 3 disk-related utilities: a disk copier, a disk formatter, and a
disk sector viewer. All three are very small, menu driven and easy to use.
ColorBar. [COLORBAR]
DOS Utility
Peter Currenti; $0
tells how to use ANSI driver codes to colorize your DOS prompt.
CrtDump 1.1 [CRTDUMP]
Video Capture
Gary S. Tessler; $19
captures DOS text screens to disk files. Unlike other screen capture
utilities, this is not a TSR. You invoke it from the DOS command line and it
captures whatever text is on the screen at the time. Since it does not have to
be loaded in advance, it is ideal for grabbing text screens in DOS on the spur
of the moment (assuming that you keep CrtDump in a PATH directory on your HD).
Date Finder 1.0 [DF]
File Finder
Nathan Becker; $0
searches for files by their date stamp: the current date, before or after a
specified date. (Also see PsL disk #2604.)
DOS6 Caching [DOS6T]
DOS Info.
($0)
tells how to safely install DoubleSpace or Smartdrive and other cache and disk
compression programs.
EasyFold 1.2 [EF12]
Editor/Outliner
Michael Reiss; $49
is a combination text editor and outliner. As you type, you can press a key
to "fold" a section of text up so that only the first line shows. Menu
options as well as folding/unfolding can be executed quickly with a mouse
or keyboard.
Professional features of the editor include macros (for keyboard and
mouse), undo's, edit up to 250 files at once, splitscreen editing,
search-and-replace, and SVGA support.
Programmers can "fold" subroutines and compile the source without unfolding
them. Other programming features include bracket matching and stepping
through errors after a compile.
FarOut. [FAROUT]
Graphic Display
Mike Chaney; $10
is a graphical display or screen saver (non-TSR).
FoneFile. 5.0 [FONEFILE]
Phone & Address Base
Business Enhancement Grp; $20
is a 5k TSR phone book. Entries include space for name, title, address, two
phone numbers and notes. Prints labels, rolodex cards, post cards and mail
merge files.
-----October 1993 Additions Disk #2:
Chek4Dup. 1.2 [CHEK4DUP]
Directory Utilities
Gary S. Tessler; $19
checks for EXE and COM files of the same name. When upgrading software
which has changed from a COM to EXE format, it is easy to overlook that
fact. Since DOS will always run the COM file first, the newer EXE file
would never be run. When we tested it in our UTIL directory, we found two
programs where this situation existed. We deleted the COM files so that we
could start using the newer EXEs.
ImageCopy 2.0 [ICPY20]
Disk Copy Utility
Patrick M. Ragan; $0
copies diskette images to hard disk where they can be stored and copied to
floppies in any quantity.
IfOnScrn 2.0 [IFONSCRN]

Gary S. Tessler; $19
is a TSR which watches the screen for any of three different
text strings to appear, at which point it can pass specified keystrokes to the underlying application, display a text windows, or
sound an alert signal.
KwikLabl 3.3/A [KWKLBL]
Epson and Compatibles
John F. Cram; $10
prints small return address labels for the upper left corner of the
envelope. It creates regular labels with a choice of fonts for special
effects. It prints two side-by-side on a one inch by three and a half inch
label with a variety of borders. It will print addresses or return
addresses directly on envelopes.
Network Disk Information E [NDI]
Drive Utilities
Mark Vitt; $0
displays total disk space, space in use, and available space for up to six
Netware or DOS drives/volumes on one screen. Options included showing
floppies and specifying a drive letter to start with.
NoShell 1.5 [NOSH15]
Security
Steve Dunn; $0
is a TSR which requires the user to enter a password before being allowed
to shell to DOS from within any other program. This could allow you to set
up a menu system which would run applications without any chance of users
being able to get unauthorized access to the hard disk outside of their
application.
SafetyBoot 1.1 [SB1_1]
Security
Cam Belgium; $40
protects against unauthorized access to your computer. When installed
nobody can start it without entering a password. Even if your computer is

wrapped lines for use by word processors, DTP programs, or file
printing programs which do their own word wrapping.
VDel 1.2 [VDEL]
