- BEEP.COM
- (c) 1990,Alan Weinberg
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- This program will beep the speaker in the PC. Use it in batch files to
- indicate the end of an operation. Then go off and do something else. When
- you hear the beep, you know your batch file is finished.
- ******************************************************************************
- BORDER.EXE
- version 1.01
- (c) 1989
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- This is a nifty little program that allows you to set up the screen's
- border color using a not often used BIOS function call. Just select the color
- you want from the menu and press <ENTER>. I think it really improves the
- screen appearance.
- To use type BORDER <ENTER>.
- For batch files, you may use the following command-line:
- BORDER <color number taken from menu>
- such as BORDER 2 which will make the screen border light blue on the EGA/VGA
- monitor. To go back to the black default border type BORDER 1.
- NOTE: this program may not work with timed screen saver (blanking) tsr's like
- BURNOUT.COM (it causes the whole screen to turn the color of the screen
- border).

-
- CCD
- version 4.02
- a change directory program
- (c) 1989
-
- This program is a revision of version 1.0. It is 85% faster than
- version 1.0! I feel it can be very useful to every PC user who has a
- disk drive and has in the past laboriously typed in the
- CD (change directory) command.
- CCD allows you to change directory and drive by typing in only the first few
- letters of the subdirectory name.
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- INSTALLATION
-
- 1.......place CCD.COM files in root directory or path.
- 2.......IF YOU HAVE USED PREVIOUS VERSIONS OF CCD, DELETE
- THE FILES CCD1.FIL AND CCD2.FIL FROM THE ROOT DIRECTORY.
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

-
- HOW TO USE CCD
-
- The format is: ccd <optional drive:first few letters of subdirectory name>
-
-
- For example, say you want to go to subdirectory
- b:\database\rpt1\day1\letters\letter1\sales
- this would take quite a long time typing in!!!
-
- Instead, enter CCD b:\S and you are there within 1 to 5 seconds!
- When you make a new directory, CCD will take about 5 seconds, but thereafter
- it usually takes you there almost instantly!
-
- To go to the root directory on the b drive,type in:
-
- CCD \ or CCD B:\ or CCD B:

- COPI.EXE
- a fast COPY clone
- version 2.00
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- INTRODUCTION TO COPI.EXE
-
- COPI is a fast COPY clone that works similiar to CCD.COM. You can copy
- files from a directory by typing only a few letters of the directory name.
- With this new version, I check for an attempt to copy multiple files to a
- single file such as <COPI document.* march>. You will get an error message
- now. This is put in because I have found it is easy to forget to put a
- slash after the subdirectory name.
- You may now copi from any drive and directory to any drive and directory!
- See below for details. Also, now COPI is faster at file copies since I
- read 32 Kbytes at a time. This is alot faster than DOS COPY and is especially
- useful when copying large size files.
-
- HOW TO USE COPI.EXE
-
- COPI <drive:first few letters of directory name \ filename to COPY FROM>
- <drive:first few letters of directory name \ filename to COPY TO>
-
- example 1. COPI E\LETTER.DOC B:R\ or COPI C:E\LETTER.DOC B:R\
- will COPY letter.doc in directory EASTMAN to directory RAMDOC on drive B
-
- example 2. COPI LETTER.DOC DA\LET1.FFF
- will COPY letter.doc in the default directory to directory DATABASE to file
- LET1.FFF
-
- notice that directories always have a slash (\) after them
-
- WRONG USAGE EXAMPLE: COPI msc\prog\done\letter.c should be
- COPI d\letter.c or COPI done\letter.c

- *****************************************************************************
- DDIR.EXE
- a fast directory listing in color with Page Up and Page Down
- version 1.01
- (c) 1990
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- This program will let you view any directory on any drive by typing only
- 1 or more letters of the subdirectory name.
- It employs one of the fastest sort algorithms and is in color! To use it:
-
- type DDIR to view the directory you are now in
- type DDIR B:\DAT\LETT??.GIF to view subdirectory b:\util\database\lett??.gif
- type DDIR *.EXE to view all .EXE files in subdirectory
- type DDIR *.EXE A.COM *.BAT to view all .EXE, A.COM, and .BAT file(s)
- (you may have up to 15 file specs)
- type DDIR *. to view subdirectories in your directory
- Wildcards are permissable.
-
- Note: you cannot redirect output to the printer since I use direct video
- writes instead of BIOS/DOS functions. To get output to printer press
- PrintScreen.
-
- DDIR.EXE is especially useful for directories with hundreds of files. This is
- because you can Page Up and Page Down or even abort by pressing <ESCAPE>.
- Each screen full of files has a page number at the top right hand corner of
- the screen. You file intensive hackers should really like DDIR.EXE.
-
- At the end of each directory listing is a line that shows how many files were
- listed, the size in bytes, and total disk free space in bytes.
-
- Limitations: a maximum of 3000 files can be viewed. Write to me if you need
- more than that.
- ****************************************************************************
-
- DELFILE.COM
- (c) 1990
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- This program allows you to delete any file(s) in all directories on your
- default drive.
- EXAMPLES:
- DELFILE *.BAK will delete all files on your present drive with the
- extension .BAK
- DELFILE DATA?.GIF will delete DATA1.GIF,DATA2.GIF,etc. and even DATAQ.GIF
-
- Please be very careful when using this program. Think twice before pressing
- <ENTER>. At any rate, while deleting files, if you press any key, DELFILE
- automatically stops deleting files and you can then exit or continue.
-
- If you issue the command line DELFILE *.* or DELFILE ????????.??? the program
- will abort. This program will not accept full wildcard filenames because
- deleting all your files unintentionally is very easy. Better safe than sorry!
- WARNING: there are ways to get around this. If you really must delete all
- files use DELFILE ???????*.* or some variation. But be very careful!

- ****************************************************************************
- DOIT.COM
- version 1.0
- (c) 1990
- This program helps you overcome some of the limitations of MS-DOS batch
- files. Type DOIT at the command line. You will be prompted to "Do it ?" .
- Typing YES will send an error level of 0 to the batch file. A NO will return
- a 1 to the batch file.
-
- EXAMPLE BATCH FILE:
- DOIT.COM
- IF ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO END
- COPY *.BAK B: <----------- this will only get done if you answer NO to
- :END DOIT.COM
-
- ****************************************************************************
- MOVE
- version 1.51
- (c) 1989
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- In this new version, stunning color has been added!
- This is a program that will move files from one subdirectory
- on any drive to another subdirectory on any drive.A unique feature about this
- program is that you only have to type in 1 or more letters of the
- subdirectory names your moving to and moving from. If the file already
- exists in the subdirectory your moving to, you will be prompted if you want
- to overwrite it.
- My program will parse and search for the directories that match. This is
- the same technique used in our previously submitted programs CCD.COM and
- COPI.EXE.
- Syntax:
- MOVE <drive:first few letters of directory name to move files from\filename>
- <drive:first few letters of directory name to move files to\filename>
-
- example:
- Instead of MOVE c:\database\november\letters\jsmith\let5.doc b:\document
- use MOVE j\let5.doc b:d\ if the default drive is c:, otherwise use
- MOVE c:j\let5.doc b:d\
- which will move file let5.doc in directory jsmith to directory document
- Don't forget to put a backslash after the subdirectory name.
-
- wrong usage examples:
- <MOVE data.doc> is wrong because a directory to move to was not
- specified. Eg. use <MOVE data.doc edit\>.
-
- <MOVE db \ letter.doc a:ppp\> has 1 wrong error in the command line.
- There can be no spaces allowed in the parameters as in
- "db \ letter.doc" which should be "db\letter.doc".

- NUMLOCK
- VERSION 1.20
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- When you boot up do you have to turn the NUMLOCK key off? Getting tired
- of accidently inputting numbers when you hit PgDn? Then put the command
- NUMLOCK in your AUTOEXEC.BAT FILE and put NUMLOCK.COM in the root
- directory or in the DOS path. It will toggle the NumLock key off for you
- when you boot up.

- (TREE1.EXE) DISK TREE!
- version 1.1
- (c) 1989
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- ABOUT DISK TREE
- Welcome to DISK TREE, a disk drive viewing program! This program will
- display all the subdirectories on the default drive in a tree structure.
- You can navigate thru the subdirectories with the cursor keys. When you
- want to inspect the files in a directory simply press enter. All the files
- in that subdirectory and their file attributes will be displayed. This
- program will work on hard disk drives and floppy drives-any drive that is
- the default drive. It gives the user a visual representation of the drive
- and its respected directories and files. This program tests for amount
- of base RAM available to my program and allocates memory as follows:
-
- less than 277k RAM available....can view up to 75 subdirectories with up
- 175 files in any subdirectory *
- more than 277k RAM available....can view up to 400 subdirectories with up
- to 600 files in any subdirectory *
-
- *NOTE: if there are more than 175 or 600 files in any subdirectory
- respectively DISK TREE will truncate and display only 175/600 files for
- viewing with a message at the end of the window ("Too many files.....").
