The SAVEIT & SAVEIT2 programs were developed with Wenham's
Batcom along with a registered copy of the TesSeRact
library.

How to use Batcom: Batcom [file] [/A] [/B] [/D] [/DS] [/NL] [/Oname]
[/A] : Use ANSI rather than BIOS driver. Equivalent to `ANSI'
statement at the beginning of the batch files.
[/B] : Use BIOS rather than ANSI driver. Equivalent to `BIOS'
statement at the beginning of the batch files.
[/D] : Compile program in debug mode. All program lines are
echoed to the screen before being executed.
[/DS]: Compile program in single step debugging mode.
[/NL]: Don't list file while compiling.
[/Oname] : Link object file `name' into executable. Use with MSC.

Personal to T.D.T.: You guys REALLY should be a little more
reasonable about this. I would suggest
the below as a better alternative for
the source code and only the above as
necessary for the documentation:
rem This product use the TesSeRact(tm) Ram-Resident Library and supports

Guys, what we are doing is creating TSR's. Now these critturs need
to use NO MORE THAN the memory needed to make it operate. Not all
compilers ignore remarks while compiling. By the above requirement,
SAVEIT & SAVEIT2 are a few hundred more bytes than they would
otherwise be.
********************************************************************
To the reader:
If you distribute either SAVEIT or SAVEIT2 in their .EXE form,
you MUST include this documentation file. As far as the source
code is concerned, I couldn't care less.
That said, let me get around to the the 'disclaimer' bull.
The use of ANY of these programs distributed by myself with
this documentation file is at your own risk. I absolve myself
of blame for any damage that may occur from either misuse, unsupport-
ed DOS versions, incompatible device drivers & other memory resident
software, or incompatible hardware. If any of the .EXE files are
distributed with the source code, the reader is free to modify
it to she/he/its heart's content. Each utility has syntax
descriptions either as help screens and/or embedded in the
source code. If there are exceptions, it will be discussed
somewhere in the rest of the documentation.
This packet is being made available to, primarily, introduce
to the average computer power user the BATCOM compiler. The
documentation is deliberately scanty in order to maximize
storage space for the source code. Many of the programs
are more useful as ideas rather than as useful programs
in their own right.
By the way, I do not, in anyway, apologize for any possible
lousy and/or inefficient code. If you'ns don't like my
methods, you are free to use your own.
**********From an earlier distributed packet:***********************
About Wenham Software's BATCOM:
They only certify the compiler for an IBM PC along with either PC-DOS 2.x
or PC-DOS 3.x. However, I have successfully used it on NEC 80286 (MS-DOS
3.2), Compaq 80286 (MS-DOS 3.3), Tandy 1100FD Laptop (MS-DOS 3.3) and
two other off brands I just can't recall. In the programs, I often
use ECHO. and ECHO/ for blank lines. Some earlier DOS versions just
don't allow this. I have avoided the @command (MS-DOS 3.3 & higher)
throughout.
Many of these programs are no more than examples of using BATCOM and
should be considered as such. I relinguish all rights and responsi-
bilities to these programs. However, any TSR programs that are
distrubuted in their compiled format are subject to the T.D.T. re-
strictions detailed elsewhere.
These programs do have a certain amount of safeguards built in. The
AT.BC program is a first draft. In trying to build in maximum error-
checking along with redirection, I've yet to get it in a polished
condition that will fully work regardless of user errors. Since this
is the first version (there are three others), it should be used
EXACTLY as the syntax screen shows.
The one vendor I know of that sells BATCOM is the Programmer's
Connection in North Canton, OH. Their price is 55 bucks. Their
catalogs are usually available quarterly at Software, Etc. and
B. Daltons.
If there are any questions on these files, or if anyone desires a
particular type of program within BATCOM's scope, I may have such
code available.

I regularly monitor the Fidonet echoes DBASE, FOXPRO, TEMPLAT_LAN
and (occasionally) CLIPPER and LOTUS.
I am distributing this as a LHARC compressed file. I have no
problem with it being distributed by someone else as .ZIP,
.ARC, ,PAK or .ZOO file. Simply stated, I have legit use
of only PKARC/PKXARC and LHARC.
All but the TSR programs created with BATCOM can be compressed
with either LZEXE or PKLITE.
I would prefer any file distribution be done under the name
BCSRCE2.???
