Documentation For CALL - Version 1.00
$Use CALL.COM in .BAT files to run other .BAT files without having to load a
secondary copy of COMMAND.COM and put EXIT as the last line in the 2nd .BAT
file.
The syntax is simply CALL xxxx where xxxx is the name of the .BAT file you
want to execute and then return to the original .BAT file
$
Documentation For Change DIRectory (CDIR) - Version 2.03
$Some programs, like WordStar 3.31 and earlier, don't let you change
subdirectories without exiting the program, but they do let you execute an
external program. CDIR.COM will allow you to change subdirectories without
exiting the current program.
To use CDIR.COM, just type CDIR. CDIR will then prompt you for the new
drive and path name. If the new drive and path name are found, CDIR will
terminate and return control to your original program. If the new drive
and path name are not found, you'll receive an error message message
and will be prompted for a correct drive and path name again.

Documentation For Change File Attribute (CFA) - Version 2.04
$This program is used to change the DOS attribute assigned to a file or group
of files. It can make files normal, read only, hidden, system, or turn the
DOS archive attribute on. DOS wildcard characters (* or ?) MAY be used for
the filename. Attributes may be combined such as RHS for Read only, Hidden,
System or RS for Read only, System or any other combination. Subdirectory
attributes can also be changed, but wildcards CANNOT be used.
Syntax is CFA filename attribute.
Attributes values are:
N - Normal (Read and Write)
R - Read only (Can't be written to OR deleted)
H - Hidden (Can't be found by most programs including DIR)
S - System (Used by the computer during initial start-up)
A - Archive (Used by DOS Backup and Restore)
Examples:
CFA myfile.doc A - Turns myfile.doc Archive bit on
CFA *.Doc n - Makes all .DOC files Normal (read and write)
CFA ?at.Doc R - Makes all files that have "at" as the 2nd and 3rd
letters Read only (such as cat.doc, bat.doc, etc
CFA \DOS\*.* RH - Makes \DOS subdirectory files Read only and Hidden
$
Documentation For CURSOR - Version 2.03
$Some programs don't redisplay the cursor when they're done. Sometimes
you might just want to change the cursor size to make it easier to find.
In either case CURSOR can fix your problems in just a few keystrokes,
and CURSOR.COM will let you choose the size of your cursor too.
To use CURSOR.COM, simply type CURSOR [size] where [size] is a number
from 1 to 8. 1 is the smallest cursor and 8 is the largest cursor.
Examples:
CURSOR 1 - Sets cursor to smallest size
CURSOR 8 - Sets cursor to largest size
$
Documentation For Disk Info (DI) - Version 2.10
$Disk Info will give you some good to know system information for most real
PC compatable systems. If your machine is not almost 100% compatable, you may
not see all the information or you may get a DIVIDE OVERFLOW message.
Good Luck.
