- DosPlus adds additional commands to the Amiga's CLI. Add the
- following files to the `c' directory of your WorkBench disk,
- they will be available from CLI at anytime. The desciptions
- listed below are expressed in terms of parameters `passed'
- and values `returned'. Square brackets `[]' mark optional
- information, a vertical bar `|' represents any ONE of several
- choices allowed. Execute commands from CLI ONLY by entering
- command name and the parameter[s] as shown. Entering just
- the command will list the `Usage' template giving additional
- guidelines.
-
- 1) ASC 5) BIT
- 2) CHR 6) WC
- 3) MATH 7) HELP
- 4) CONV 8) INPUT

- The original author offers these programs as `ShareWare'.
- Feel free to distribute them via user groups, BBS's, etc.
- If you've found the programs useful please send a small

- 1) Usage: ASC char [char] ...
- Pass single character, or string of characters, returns
- each character's ASCii code in decimal, hexadecimal,
- octal, and binary form. Characters with an ascii
- value >128 must be surrounded by double quotes.
- 2) Usage: CHR nmbr [nmbr] ...
- Pass ascii value[s] between 0-255, returns key strokes
- required to produce CHaRacter[s], and hexadecimal, octal,
- and binary equivalents.
- 3) Usage: MATH ADD | SUB | MUL | DIV nmbr nmbr [nmbr] ...
- Pass numbers.
- Option ADD returns total sum.
- Option SUB returns SUBtracted difference.
- Option MUL returns MULtiplied product.
- Option DIV returns DIVided quotient.
- 4) Usage: CONV DEC | HEX | OCT | BIN nmbr [nmbr] ...
- CONVerts nmbr from specified base to other forms.
- If DEC, nmbr must range from 0-65535
- If HEX, nmbr must range from 0-FFFF
- If OCT, nmbr must range from 0-177777
- If BIN, nmbr must range from 0-1111111111111111
- 5) Usage: BIT a AND | OR | XOR | EQV | IMP b
- Performs any one bit-wise operation, AND (conjunction),
- OR (disjunction), XOR(eXclusive OR), EQV (equivalence),
- or IMP (implication) on values `a' and `b'.
- 6) Usage: WC filename [filename] ...
- Pass filename[s], returns number of words, number of lines,
- number of binary characters, total number of characters,
- and a unique checksum value. The checksum can be used to
- compare files thought to be identical.
- 7) Usage: HELP command [command] ...
- Pass standard AmigaDos or DosPlus command[s], returns
- template and help information.
- 8) Usage: INPUT prompt
- Use only in executable batch files. Executes similar to
- BASIC'c `INPUT "My prompt string",a$' command. Displays
- prompt string, accepts input from user and writes to file
- `ram:UserInput.data'. Retrieve entered text into desired
- program with `COMMAND <ram:UserInput.data'.
