-
- ECHOF is a utility that is functionally similar to DOS's ECHO
- command, except that ECHOF allows you to output Escape- and Control-
- Sequences. The data on the command line is echoed, except that
- characters preceeded by a backslash ("\") are handled as follows:
-
-
- \B or \b Outputs a Backspace character (^H) to the Console.
-
- \E or \e Outputs an Escape character (^[) to the Console.
-
- \G or \g Outputs a Bell character (^G) to the Console.
-
- \L or \l Outputs a LineFeed character (^J) to the Console.
-
- \N or \n Outputs a CR/LF sequence (^M^J) to the Console.
-
- \R or \r Outputs a Carraige Return character (^M) to the Console.
-
- Any other character preceeded by a backslash is sent to the video as
- is. Note that in order to output the backslash character itself, you
- must enter a double backslash ("\\") on the command line.
-
-
- Command Format:

- ECHOF message

- Examples:
-
- A>ECHOF \nThis is an example!\n\nSo is this!\n
-
- This is an example!

- If you are not familiar with the CED Command Editor (Version 1.0,
- Copyright 1985, Christopher J. Dunford), disregard the following.
-
-
-
-
- ECHOFINS is a version of ECHOF that can be used with the CED
- Command Editor to make ECHOF a resident, or User, Command. Once CED is
- installed, simply type in ECHOFINS at the DOS prompt, and ECHOF will
- become a resident command that behaves just like the non-resident
- version. If desired, you may have ECHOF installed automatically each
- time you boot up by including the following in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file:
-
- .
- .
- .
- CED (ced parameters)
- .
- .
- .
- ECHOFINS
- .
- .
- .
-
- Note that ECHOFINS must be run *After* CED is installed.

- the program, and the version number.
- Note that no support will be given to unregistered users EXCEPT in
- the case of MAJOR bugs which preclude the unregistered user from using
- the program. I will then do my best to resolve these problems so that
- the user may evaluate the software fully.
