This file describes software written by Richard W. Adams.  The
listing is suitable for inclusion in catalogs.   See the file
ORDER.DOC for prices and ordering details.
_________________________________________________________________

ATTRIBUTION, version 1.12 (DOS).  Changes or displays file
attributes (hidden, system, read only & archive).  Protect your
software & data from accidental (or malicious) deletion, or hide
sensitive directories or files.  This is a replacement for the
DOS ATTRIB program.  Unlike ATTRIB, ATTRIBUTION can set or remove
the "hidden" attribute.
_________________________________________________________________

BACKUP, version 2.03 (DOS) and 1.00 (OS/2).  Fast, intelligent
file backup utility.  File backups are your insurance policy
against the inevitable hard disk crash, & against malicious
software such as viruses & worms.  BACKUP copies only those files
which doesn't exist on the archive drive, or whose date-time
stamp is more recent than existing files on the archive drive.
Options to clear archive bit on copied files, check disk volume
labels before copying, & to backup from all directories on the
disk (or just from the current & subordinate directories).
_________________________________________________________________

CHANGER, version 1.00 (OS/2).  Quickly changes words & phrases in
text files without loading a bulky word processor or editor.
Options to change files in every directory on the disk, just in
the current directory, or in the current & subordinate
directories.  Can also change hidden or read only files if
desired.  Built in safety features prevent data corruption.
Typical uses for CHANGER include changing names in a group of
form letters or other documents, or changing variable names in
the source code of a multimodule program.
_________________________________________________________________

DIRECTOR, version 2.02 (DOS).  Fast, easy way to display & record
your disk directory structure.  Use the data for rebuilding your
disk after a crash, or setting up new systems with similar
structure.
_________________________________________________________________

DUPES, version 3.00 (DOS).  Finds duplicate files and empty
directories on a hard disk or a series of diskettes, so you can
delete them and free up disk space.  If you're like most people,
you have a lot of duplicate files are hiding in forgotten nooks &
crannies.  DUPES finds these & shows file size & date/time stamp
so you can determine which are true duplicates.  It has options
to consider files duplicate only if file sizes & date/time stamps
match, to check multiple drives (and multiple diskettes), to
restrict checks to certain subdirectories, to exempt certain
subdirectories, & to delete duplicates as they're found.
_________________________________________________________________

EXCEPT, version 1.02 (DOS).  Exempts files from the actions of
DOS commands.  Great when you want to affect some, but not all,
files in a directory.  For example, if you wanted to delete all
files in the current directory except those with extensions of
"DOC," you would enter EXCEPT *.DOC DEL *.*
_________________________________________________________________

GETKEY, version 1.00 (OS/2).  Gets a user keystroke, then reports
its ASCII code as an ERRORLEVEL.  Great for having the user
answer questions or make menu selections in batch files.  Options
for checking input against edit mask, making user press Enter,
flushing keyboard buffer, hiding cursor, disabling ^C & ^Break,
capitalizing the key, echoing it to the screen, & beeping after
invalid input.
_________________________________________________________________

GLOBALLY, version 1.21 (DOS) and 1.00 (OS/2).  Executes a command
or program in multiple directories.  It can execute in all
directories on disk, or just current & subordinate directories.
Example:  to delete all files on your disk with an extension of
BAK, you would enter GLOBALLY DEL *.BAK.
_________________________________________________________________

LAUNCHER, version 1.21 (DOS).  Passes user entered strings as
arguments to a program, which is loaded & run.  Use this utility
to get user input (e.g., passwords, file name, etc.) before
starting a program.  Especially useful when running programs from
a batch file or menu system, when the program arguments vary.
Options to hide input, restrict input length, compare input to an
edit mask, verify input, etc.
_________________________________________________________________

MAKER, version 1.02 (DOS).  Generates MAKE & LINK files for C
language programs.  Eliminates the drudgery (and errors) of
manually building MAKE & LINK files.  Designed for programmers
working in C, but has enough generality that it will work for
many other compilers, as well.
_________________________________________________________________

MOVER, version 2.11 (DOS).  Moves files between directories or
disk.  Fast, simple, and intuitive, and works even on full disks.
Makes organizing your hard disk a snap.  Options to overwrite
existing target files without asking, to delete source files, &
to securely overwrite deleted source files.
_________________________________________________________________

RENAMER, version 1.01 (DOS) and 1.00 (OS/2).  Renames
directories, quick & easy.  Eliminates need to create a new
directory, copy files from the old directory, delete the old
files, & delete the old directory.
_________________________________________________________________

ROOM, version 2.11 (DOS).  Tells how much space is left on a
disk, much faster & without the disk thrashing of the DOS CHKDSK
program.  Find out how close you are to filling up your disk.
ROOM can also tell if there's space on the disk for a set of
files you specify.  Use ROOM in a batch file to see if there's
enough space on the disk before trying to copy files onto it.
Unlike some other programs which purport to do the same thing,
ROOM takes into account existing files by the same name on the
disk.
_________________________________________________________________

SHREDDER, version 1.10 (OS/2).  This Presentation Manager program
securely erases sensitive files so no one can retrieve their
data.  Normally, when you "delete" a file, OS/2 simply erases the
file's entry in the disk directory; it doesn't actually destroy
the file's data.  Thus, people with the right software can later
recover the material you thought was gone forever.  Shredder
solves this problem by physically overwriting the data before
deleting the file.  Now you can rest assured your private data
stays private.  You can also customize Shredder to comply with
your organization's security standards.  Shredder also has
options to keep a log of shredded files, to shred hidden & read
only files, & to make a backup copy of the files in another
location before shredding them.
_________________________________________________________________

STRINGER, version 1.02 (OS/2).  A demonstration program to help
train users on the Presentation Manager (PM).  Draws string art
in a PM window.  Also useful for demonstrating machine
capabilities or taking advantage of idle CPU time.  Options to
change color and speed.  Hypnotic & addicting!
