- TOP version 1.10
- ----------------
- TOP is not just another DOS shell! TOP combines many popular DOS utility
- functions into one fast, small package, but adds several unique and
- productive new functions to enhance anyone's PC usage. Featuring movable,
- sizable pop-up windows for most of its commands, TOP allows aliasing,
- command line history and enhanced editing, file viewing (both ascii and
- hex), screen color and mode control, and enhanced functionality for many
- DOS commands. Any or all TOP windows can be constantly displayed concur-
- rently with typing at the command line, including the 4000+ line context
- sensitive hypertext HELP tool.
-
- One unique feature is the CRON program scheduler. Any number of programs
- can be scheduled to run at any minute, hour, day, or month. If your
- machine is busy running an application, or even off when a CRON event is
- scheduled to run, it runs immediately after.
-
- Extensive mouse support! Drag and drop text from anywhere on the screen to
- the command line or other TOP windows. Double-click on any text to
- immediately execute it, and more.
-
- Requires a hard drive, DOS version 3.0+, mouse recommended. Can use EMS,
- XMS, RAM disk, or hard disk for swapping.
-
- New for version 1.10
- --------------------
- A complete on-line setup utility, called TOPSET. Used to edit/maintain
- TOP's extensive configuration capabilities. Complete on-line help.
-
- Extended screen mode support for Super VGA text modes! Supports Ahead,
- Everex, Headland, ATI, Cirrus, Chips & Technologies, Genoa, Tseng,
- Paradise, Zymos, Trident, VESA and others. See the file 'README.VGA' for
- more details.
-
- Many TOP functions now accept multiple parameters and "enhanced" wild
- cards. For example, ' DIR *r*.p* *.txt' will list all files containing
- an 'r' in the name and starting with 'p' in the extension, and all files
- matching *.txt.
-
- DIR has been greatly enhanced! User-defined color-coded extensions, sort
- by name, size, date, multiple column formats, and preset DIR preferences
- using an environment variable to name just a few of the features.
-
- Added Executable Wildcards. Executable Wildcards are user-defined command
- sequences which can be assigned to a wild card file specification. If a
- command is typed which matches the wild card specification, the user-
- defined command sequence is executed.
-
- Pressing the <TAB> key will cycle through an alphabetical list of files
- in the current directory at the cursor position in the command line (or
- cycle through a list of matches if the filename is partly typed or typed
- with a wildcards specification). Pressing <Shift-TAB> will reverse cycle.
-
- All TOP DMTs (screen savers) now support 256 color pcx files and super VGA
- graphics modes. TOP DMTs also automatically park your disk drive heads.
