I've gotten these programs from a NJ BBS, I thought it may be
an interest to everybody. After the download you have to UUDECODE
first then unARC the file. Enjoy !

ASK.COM:
This command allows the user to set the BATCH
environment ERRORLEVELS interactively.
CL.COM:
Turn the Caps Lock key on.
CLOFF.COM:
Turn the Caps Lock key off.
NL.COM:
Turn the Num Lock key on.
NLOFF.COM:
Turn the Num Lock key off.
COLOR.BAT:
COLOR.BAT may be used to set foreground and background colors on
color monitors and set bold (high intensity), normal or reverse on
any type of monitor. If your system has two monitors, COLOR.BAT will
make it easier to switch between your monitors (though this requires
the presence of MODE.COM on the default directory).
To use this command file, you must boot your system using DOS 2.0
or higher & must have a CONFIG.SYS file defined on the boot disk
as well as ANSI.SYS. This CONFIG.SYS file is described in your DOS
manual but the line that you need in this file is "DEVICE=ANSI.SYS".
ANSI.SYS must also be on your boot directory (it came with DOS).
REBEEP.COM:
Uses continual beeps to summon a person to the computer.
RESPONSE.COM:
This is a fairly simple program in concept: IT sets the errorlevel
code for batch files based on the user's input. ALSO, it will not
accept anything but a correct response character.
SOUND.COM:
It generates different beeps.
WAITUNTL.COM:
This can be used in batch files to simply wait until a certain time
passes. The program continually displays the current time, which
makes it easy to compare to the time set in WAITUNTL. WAITUNTL makes
it easy to trigger a series of events based on time, such as downloading
data at 6am and running a series of reports at 6:15 to have ready when
you get in.
