-
- 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).
-

- searches for files by their date stamp: the current date, before or after a

- 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.

-
- 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.

- effects. It prints two side-by-side on a one inch by three and a half inch

- NoShell 1.5 [NOSH15]
- Security
- Steve Dunn; $0
- is a TSR which requires the user to enter a password before being allowed
