╔═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ C+Net BBS (403) 477-9545 SysOp: Gerry Danen ║ ╟─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ 28.8Kbps, ANSI & RIP All files are scanned for viruses! ║ ╟─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ We specialize in helping programmers (primarily C and C++), and network ║ ║ administrators/programmers, do an outstanding job. ║ ║ We attempt to maintain the most current files in and around Edmonton. ║ ║ We maintain NO upload/download ratios, and NO message requirements. You ║ ║ WILL however, get more out of C+Net by participating in both. ║ ║ Regular file contributors (10 or more original files a month) have extra ║ ║ time (daily!) to use C+Net. ║ ║ Always use -d with PKUNZIP. Some archives have sub-directories and "-d" ║ ║ will restore them properly. ║ ║ If you don't see "Authentic files Verified! #TOE701 Gerry Danen" at the end ║ ║ of the PKUNZIP run, DON'T USE THE FILES! They may have been tampered with! ║ ╚═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ The Danen Utilities ------------------- Below is a list of currently published "Danen Utilities." Some programs make assumptions that you should be familiar with: - ANSI.SYS is required by some programs. - Fairly extensive use is made of environment variables, such as GD.TTY.RIGHTS and GD.SOUND. Set GD.TTY.RIGHTS=N and some command-line programs will suppress copyright notices. Set GD.SOUND=N and BU won't make any noise. GD.D controls the default parameters for D. - /? will in many cases display brief help messages. - For programs that print to network printers, the following conventions are used: LPT1 is HP mode, short timeout; LPT2 is captured in a PostScript queue; LPT3 is in HP mode, with a long timeout. A bug was discovered with BIOS screen updates in true blue BIOS's. This has been corrected in programs with a date stamp after March 22, 1995. All these utilities, and more, are available on C+NET BBS: (403) 477-9545. THIS IS ALSO WHERE UPDATES AND BUG FIXES ARE POSTED! If you have comments, suggestions, feedback, please leave e-mail for the sysop. Under F/S is indicated whether a program is FreeWare or ShareWare. ZIP name F/S Description ======== === ================================================================== 2PS F Convert ASCII files to PostScript 2PS formats files for printing on a PostScript printer. The format used is nice and compact: normally two pages on each physical page, borders surrounding pages, headers with useful information (page number, printing date, file name), line numbering, etc. Useful for printing program listings. 2ROWCOL F For Batch Files: Move to Anywhere on the Screen 2ROWCOL enhances the use of MS-DOS batch files. Check 2R.BAT for examples. AUDIT_PW S NetWare Security: Audit User Passwords AUDIT_PW was developed to tighten up network security on Novell networks. Many users use very easy to guess passwords. A common password is a potential security leak! AUDIT_PW uses a file with common passwords to try on each user account. All common passwords are reported. A user info file and a status file with other security information are als created. MAKE SURE TO TURN INTRUDER DETECTION/LOCKOUT OFF BEFORE YOU START! BEEP F Batch program to beep the speaker when "BU S" doesn't BINARY F Convert decimal (int) numbers to Binary (bits) BORDER F Change border color of VGA and CGA displays BU F Batch Utility BU enhances the use of MS-DOS batch files. Automate AUTOEXEC.BAT files for BBS and network servers, build menu systems, many more uses! BU replaces a number of separate utility programs, such as: ASK, CRLF, CURSOR, HEADER, HITENTER, MSG, REDALERT, SOUND, TIMER, WARBLE, and YN. CAST F CAST shows the status of CASTON/CASTOFF on Novell NetWare servers. CDPATH F Save & Restore Drive/Directory Settings Useful little utility to go back to where you were (drive and directory) before you started a program. CDROM F CD-ROM Information Shows whether the Microsoft CD-ROM Extensions (MSCDEX) are installed, and if so, which version. CDROM lets you know if you're using and outdated MSCDEX driver. CDROM then tries to determine how many CD-ROM drives you have, and their drive letters. CONVERT F Convert decimal, hex, and octal numbers COOKIE S Fortune cookies, wisdom, funny sayings Try COOKIE /ANSI for a different look (BBS mode). ShareWare $20. D F Great DIR Replacement Try D /? for options. DISKIMAG F Read and Write Floppy Disk Images Useful for backup of floppies and for making multiple disk copies. DRIVEMAN F Enable and Disable Floppy Drive Access Prevent users from putting a virus on your network by turning the floppy drives off. DSUM S Disk Drive Summary DOS utility shows statistics on all physical and logical drives, including network, SUBST, and CD-ROM drives. For each drive you see volume label, total capacity, Kbytes used, Kbytes free, % free, low space indicator, current path, mapped directory, more. ShareWare $15 per user. DUSAGE S Netware Disk Usage Analysis This DOS utility is a network disk management tool. It allows network administrators to manage disk space on the network more intelligently. Indicates among others, low disk space for users with disk quota (volume restrictions) in place. ShareWare $25 per individual user, or $100 per server. EMPTYDIR F Remove Empty Directories NetWare administration is made difficult when users create a whole bunch of subdirectories, and then don't put files in them. EMPTYDIR is a DIS utility that identifies empty directories, and creates a batch file to do house cleaning if you redirect output to a .BAT file, e.g., EMPTYDIR * >clean.bat EQ F Capture Equipment Information Redirect to file if you need to send the information to someone via disk or modem. FATR S Change File Attributes Interactively Set and remove all file attributes. Even hidden status on directories! ShareWare $15 per user. FIXPATH F Fixes X:. to X:\ after NetWare drive map Updates the path after NetWare MAP. Changes all <drive>:. to <drive>:\ and creates a batch file in TEMP for you to run. GO F Move very quickly between directories GO provides an easy way to switch between directories. You set up logical names for your directories in the DOS environment. HINT F Find Text in (EXE) Files HINT is a specialized automatic program documenter. Real Programmers know that the only reliable documentation is the code itself, but a lot of programs come as executable code only, and I've never met a programmer who claims that EXE files are easy to read. HINT doesn't document these things, but it can help give some clues. MKPATH F Make a Path using BRUTE FORCE MKPATH is designed to lessen the amount of keying when creating and changing to DOS directories. Q F List Jobs in Novell NetWare Print Queues The job's priority, name, size, user id, date & time queued, status, job number, and form type are displayed. SCANDIR F Scan Directories - Cleanup! Part of the Danen Utilities. SCANDIR is designed as a clean-up utility to go through a part or all of a hard disk's files, and erase files if so instructed. Even read-only files can be removed by SCANDIR. SDIR F Sorted directory with interactive file delete Tag files for deletion, and then delete them all at once. Files may be listed by name, extension, size, date/time. View files before you decide to delete. SHOWDIZ F Pops up FILE_ID.DIZ on your screen for viewing Useful for creating ZIP files for upload. Observes 15 lines by 46 characters, and shows when you have exceeded those limits. SS S Screen saver: non-TSR locks keyboard Lock your keyboard with this screen saver. On Novell networks, SS uses the user's logon password. ShareWare $15 per user. ST F Change date- and timestamp of files Full-screen and command-line mode. TAGLINE F Tagline collection. Display at user login. (or anywhere else!) Like taglines on a BBS. Try the /all switch... TMSG F Tracking System for NetWare Administration Two programs make up the tracking system. TMSG records your messages in an ASCII file. TMSG_LOG takes the ASCII file, analyzes the records and updates two .DBF files. These .DBF files can then be manipulated as you see fit. If logged in to NetWare, messages are logged to the network In stand-alone mode, messages are logged to C:\. USERLIST F User Information for The Major BBS For Major BBS SysOps who want to do more with their user information, e.g. generate a birthday announcements list. Very flexible. VIDEO F Video Mode Change VIDEO allows the user to change to any of the standard PC video modes, as well as 43-line EGA mode, and 4 ATI EGA/VGA Wonder modes. Command line and interactive modes. VOLUSAGE F NetWare Volume Usage Overview VOLUSAGE shows for each volume: total bytes; free bytes; purgable bytes; total available bytes; total bytes used; block size. WHO F WHO shows who's logged in - various formats ZAP F Cleanup whole directory structures ZAP completely removes a directory along with its files and sub-directories, and its files and sub-directories, etc. Hidden, system, and read-only files are removed too! Optionally you may just delete the files and leave the directory structure intact.
