About TSUTLD in General (All rights reserved)
=======================
This is the fourth package in my utilities series. TSUTLD is a
stand-alone companion to TSUTIL, TSUTLB, TSUTLC, and TSUTLE.
Although this TSUTLD set is for any type of PC, some of it is
slightly inclined towards utilities with a laptop flavor.
This package may be used and distributed freely for NON-COMMERCIAL,
NON-INSTITUTIONAL, PRIVATE purposes, provided it is not changed in
any way. (Repacking with another method is ok, though.) For ANY
other usage, such as use in a business enterprise or at a
university, contact the author for registration. Uploading to
bulletin boards is encouraged. Please do not distribute any part of
this package separately.
The programs are under development. Comments and contacts are
solicited. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to use
electronic mail for communication.

ADJCURS.BAT Adjust cursor size
===========
Usage: ADJCURS choice
where the choice must be 1-7:
1 Big resident cursor
2 Medium resident cursor
3 Big transient cursor
4 Medium transient cursor
5 Restore original cursor for 1 and 2
6 Restore original cursor for 3 and 4
7 Map the resident programs
Although BIGCURS.EXE and BIGNCURS.EXE can be used without further
utilities, to use *this batch* you must have the TSR Utilities from
TurboPower Software. In particular you'll need the programs
MARK.EXE, RELEASE.EXE, and MAPMEM.EXE. Another utility that is
necessary for this batch, is RESET.EXE by Timo Salmi. RESET restores
the original screen settings. You should be able to obtain them by
downloading TSRCOM34.ZIP and TSUTIL38.ZIP (or whichever version
numbers are current) from any well-stocked BBS or FTP site, such as
Vaasa FreePort BBS and garbo.uwasa.fi, 128.214.87.1, Vaasa, Finland.
┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Warning: It is not advisable to load the resident cursor more │
│ than once. │
└───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Hint: First experiment with BIGNCURS.EXE to find the cursor size you
prefer, and then apply BIGCURS.EXE.
Release notes: Release 1.1: I have now tested the programs with
several video adapters. I have added the option to give the
starting scan line of the cursor as a numerical parameter. For
example to get a medium size cursor you can alternatively use
BIGCURS 3
or whatever is best applicable on your system. Another improvement,
thanks to Erik Jacobsen, is that the BIGCURS.EXE program releases
the timer interrupt for the other resident programs that may be
running. Thus the other TSRs that may use the timer, are not frozen
by bigcurs.
Release 2.1:
- The batch now checks whether the resident cursor has already been
loaded, so that the user cannot mistakenly load an extra copy on
top of the already loaded one.
- The batch now recognizes also MsDos 6.0 to load the resident big
cursor in the upper memory for MsDos 5.0 or 6.0.
CAPS (Ver. 1.1) Get/set keyboard toggles
===============
Usage : CAPS [get] [c+│-] [n+│-] [s+│-] [/b]
only get status ─┘ │ │ │ │
set CapsLock ─┘ │ │ │
set NumLock ─┘ │ │
set ScrollLock ─┘ │
batch mode, no output ─┘
The purpose of this program is to set and/or report the state of the
keyboard toggles. This is useful in special situations such as in
batch files when the state of these toggles need to be controlled,
or if there are no keyboard leds, or if there is something wrong
with the keyboard keys or leds.
The output will be in the format:
CapsLock OFF
NumLock ON
Insert OFF
ScrollLock OFF
An example. If you wish that the NumLock key is off when you boot
our PC, put the following, simple line in our autoexec.bat file
CAPS n-
FILES (Ver. 1.2) Summary of your different files
================
Where does all your precious disk space go? FILES.EXE can be used to
answer this question. It gives the following type of statistics
(this is for my laptop's ramdisk):
Type Count Size Allocation Efficiency
. 1 419 512 81.84
.COM 4 13473 13696 98.37
.EXE 3 106212 106368 99.85
.TPU 1 15536 15616 99.49
Total D: 9 135640 136192 99.59
The statistics can be sorted by any of the fields:
Usage: FILES [device:]
[/n(o sort)] (the default sort is by extension)
[/c(ount sort)]
[/s(ize sort)]
[/a(allocation sort)]
[/e(fficiency sort)]
[/r(everse sort)]
or: FILES ?
Hint 1: If you have several partitions on your harddisk, and want to
assess the overall file usage, apply MsDos join command before
running files.exe. See your MsDos manual for using join.
Hint 2: FILES does not include a switch for page by page scrolling
since this is easily achieved by proper filtering. For example use
FILES | MORE or better still, if you have Veron Buerg's well-known
list program, use FILES | LIST /S.
Release notes:
Version 1.2: If the files are sorted by count (/c), size (/s), or
allocation (/a), the percentage of each file type is shown as an
additional column. - The capacity of the program has been increased
from 2500 different file types to 3000.
POPSCR.EXE (Ver 1.0) Pop screen from image file saved by PUSHSCR
====================
Usage: POPSCR ImageFileName
For batch programming, returns errorlevel 1 if operation
unsuccessful, else 0.
PUSHSCR, POPSCR, and RESET from TSUTIL*.ZIP) make up a set of
related utilities, but very useful in cases where you wish to
restore the original screen after running an application
(YourProgram). To utilize this idea make the following kind of a
batch to call your application. You may have to edit the paths (r:\)
somewhat. I have used r:\ below because my r: drive is a ramdisk
which makes this very fast. But you do not need a ramdisk. Any drive
/ directory will do just as well.
@echo off
pushscr r:\tmp$$$.scn /o
YourProgram %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
reset
popscr r:\tmp$$$.scn
if exist r:\tmp$$$.scn del r:\tmp$$$.scn > nu
