- Version 2.02 Revision notes: Sat 06-17-1989 02:35:12
- ===========================
-
- - Version 2.01b was the last released version.
-
- - This version properly recognizes disk partitions > 32mb in the
- os/2 1.1 dos box.
-
- - This version will recognize 25, 28, 43 or 50 line text modes (for the map
- function).
-
- - ANalyze is still a free program; However, I have released a
- shareware program. Please see the advertisement at the end of
- this document.
-
- ========================================================================
- This utility will only seem useful to power users.
- The average user may not even understand what this
- program does; don't worry about it, it was never
- intended to be a popular program.
-
- About all I can add to the syntax box is that the
- order of options is unimportant.
-
- AN /m D: /A /P is the same as
- AN D: /map is the same as
- AN -m -a-p d:
-
- The attributes specified with the /S option are ORed
- together; "AN /s rh" will find any file marked
- Readonly OR Hidden.
-
- ------
- ANalyze was one of those utilities I wrote for my
- own use, never intending to make it usable for
- anyone else. All it did was tell me which files on
- the disk were fragmented. This helped me decide if it
- was time to 'optimize' my hard disk.
- As you can see, AN does more than this though. Along
- with two other programs I wrote, DiskMap (DM) and
- HIDSYS, ANalyze has been bundled together as one
- EXEcutable. The 3 functions (fragment report, map,
- attrib search) may not seem to belong together; they
- share many common routines, so I stuck them all
- together.
- HIDSYS searched for any files with attributes that I
- deemed unusual. These were Vol, Hidden and System.
- Some disk optimizers complain about such files, but
- don't tell you where they are. Some software
- packages use copy-protection schemes that muck
- around with your hard disk. HIDSYS was meant to tell
- me about such things (ever see SUPERLOK.300? Did you
- know that a hidden directory is an illegal
- attribute? Don't use it!). HIDSYS was the same as
- "AN /s vhs". This should produce something like:
-
- 88/10/04 12:32 4096 [...SHR] C:\IBMBIO.COM
- 88/10/04 12:32 302133 [...SHR] C:\IBMDOS.COM
- 88/10/22 02:19 0 [A.V...] C:\MY-DISK
-
- If there are any more than this, and you yourself
- didn't change their attributes, check into them.
-
- ------
-
- * This program is FREE for noncommercial in-home use.
- (Yes, that means you can't get a refund)
-
- * You are free to use, copy and distribute ANalyze
- for noncommercial use IF:
- - NO FEE IS CHARGED FOR USE, COPYING OR DISTRIBUTION.
- - IT IS NOT MODIFIED IN ANY WAY.
- - YOU INCLUDE ONLY THIS AN.DOC FILE, and AN.EXE
- IN THE ARCHIVE. -- NO MORE , NO LESS --
- - YOU DO NOT BUNDLE IT WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAM(S).
-
- * This program is provided AS IS without any warranty,
- expressed or implied, including but not limited to
- fitness for a particular purpose.
-
- * Call me if you want to talk about commercial/corporate
- use.

- │ SWELL : The SWapper shELL │
- │ ------------------------- │
- │ SWELL is a powerful TSR (terminate-stay-resident) utility │
- │ for users who need to shell from one programme to another │
- │ and find themselves short of Random Access Memory. │
- │ │
- │ SWELL allows you to SHELL infinitely from one programme to │
- │ another and then back again through the conventional EXIT │
- │ command. Without SWELL you must hold the parent programme │
- │ in RAM when you SHELL to the next level. This means you │
- │ will inevitably run out of memory if you continue to SHELL │
- │ from the PARENT to the CHILD to the GRANDCHILD to the │
- │ GREATGRANDCHILD and so. However, with SWELL the memory │
- │ requirements of each PARENT are swapped off to the disk │
- │ of your choice as you SHELL through the generations │
- │ INFINITELY! │
- │ │
- │ As you begin to EXIT back up the generation tree, SWELL │
- │ will reload each successive parent programme back into │
- │ RAM. │
- │ │
- │ In addition to user-invoked SHELLS, SWELL works equally │
- │ well with any programme that calls separate routines │
- │ without your knowledge. For those of you working with │
- │ compilers, you know how much memory you can need! Well │
- │ SWELL makes the problem go away painlessly by swapping off │
- │ memory. │
- │ │
- │ Since SWELL swaps RAM memory to disk, you may wish to have │
- │ SWELL swap memory requirements to a RAM disk to increase │
- │ the speed. Generally you should allow around 512 K of │
- │ free space in the RAM disk you have SWELL swap memory to. │
- │ However, THERE IS NO LIMIT to the amount of memory SWELL │
- │ can swap off. It is limited only by the available space on │
- │ disk (real or virtual). │
- │ │
- │ For a free fully-functional demo version of SWELL, call: │
