- Okay, enough begging.... Here I am, sitting and typing at two in the
- morning. These two ULTRA files have drained 99% of my vitality!
-
- My main purpose for creating this was to blow away all other
- batch file utilities (which I think has been achieved), and to set
- the standard for future batch file reference. I apologize for having
- to split these functions up into two separate files, but my compiler
- kept locking up trying to build the entire damn thing in one file.
- Using large model caused a hard lock-up upon running ULT.EXE, and there
- fore I was forced to use the two-file-format.
- I shyed away from having 200 separate .COM files with 200 separate
- document files. This would cause MASS CONFUSION and become a large mess
- in a directory. I admit these two files are rather large, but the tight
- organizational structure is very handy, and outweighs the disadvantage
- of a 400 file mess in a directory.
-
- In case you're wondering, my favorite functions are:
-
-
- ULTVU.EXE the absolute best archive viewer, ever!
-
- /WRITE Writes any of 36 little .COM files that are very useful.
-
-
- /32CRC Very cool. A definitely good way to check vital
- files for viruses.
- /DUMP Awesome! If applications are changing your environment
- all the time... fight back.
- /ENVG Colorful, graphic way to see your DOS environment.
- /MAP Save all the files/directories on your hard drive.
- /DIAL Call up your friends with the modem! Set up 10 batch
- files with all your favorite people in them.
