- Copyright 1992-1993, Thomas G. Harold, All Rights Reserved.
-
- QUTIL2 is a collection of programs that mimic common *nix
- utility programs as well as other small utilities.
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
-
- I. Installation:
-
- Installation of this package is as simple as copying the
- executable files to a directory in your path statement.
-
- II. Files:
-
- The following is a list and a brief explanation of the
- programs included in this package. See the individual *.DOC
- files for a more extensive discussion of each program.
-
- QBANNER text
- ------------
- QBANNER mimics the "banner" command and prints the text
- to standard output using a large 8x8 character font.
-
- QCAL [[month] year]
- -------------------
- QCAL mimics the "cal" command and will print a miniature
- calendar for the current month, for an entire year, or for a
- specific month of a given year.
-
- QDATE [-filename] [+"format"]
- -----------------------------
- QDATE is akin to the *nix "date" command and prints the
- current date and time according to a specified format.
-
- QREN [-f] filename newfile

- QREN allows the renaming of files using either the current
- date and time, or the date/time of the file. QREN can also
- be used to rename directories.

- for a specifed number of seconds. QSLEEP is useful for pausing
- batch files for certain amount of time.

- QTEE imitates the "tee" command which reads lines from the
- standard input and copies the lines to a file or group of files
- as well as printing the lines to standard output. The files are
- normally overwritten but can be appended to using the "-a" option.
