- Notes on the smaller programs
- ---------------------------------------------
-
- Many of these programs are oriented to (and in
- some cases will only run on) a PC/AT type machine.
-
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
-
- CMOS:
-
- This is a supplement to the AT "setup" program. It will either read the
- cmos memory (all 64 bytes) of a PC/AT and save this setup in a file,
- or write the cmos memory from such a file. This can be used to quickly
- restore the configuration of a machine on which the battery has been
- disconnected or the cmos has been otherwise "trashed".
-
- Syntax: CMOS/R ABC.DAT [Reads cmos into file.]
-
- CMOS/W ABC.DAT [Writes cmos from file.]
-
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
-
- AUTOPARK:
-
- An AT-only program. AUTOPARK is memory-resident. It parks the heads on both
- hard disk drives after inactivity for a specified period of time.
-
- Syntax: AUTOPARK/N:120 [In this example, the time is 120 seconds.]
-
- If AUTOPARK is run more than once, it is smart enough not to double-install
- itself. Instead, the timeout setpoint of the first copy is updated to the
- new specification.
-

-
- TRIM:
-
- This is a "fix" for the combination of certain word porcessing programs which
- pad the ends of files with a group of ctrl-Z characters and certain assemblers
- which cannot tolerate this, especially in "include" files.
-
- TRIM adjusts the length of a file in the directory so that there is either
- one or zero ctrl-Z characters at the end.
-
- Syntax: TRIM ABC.DAT [Leaves exactly one ^Z at end.]
-
- TRIM/N ABC.DAT [Leaves no ^Z at end.]
-
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
-
- CLOCK:
-
- A fairly "zap-proof" (and fast) version of an old classic. Try it.
-
- Syntax: CLOCK
-
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
-
- LOGGER:
-
- Run LOGRINST for explanation.
-
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
-
- FREZ:
-
- Makes the <Scroll Lock> button work the way <Ctrl-Numlock> does (freezes the
- display) with two exceptions: (1) Uses only one finger; (2) NEVER freezes
- halfway through a scroll, giving double image of same line.
-
- On an AT type machine, the <Sys Req> key will function as a "momentary"
- scroll stop, freezing the display only as long as it is held down.
