- DABUTIL is a collection of "system-completing" utilities. It contains the basic
- tools you need to manage various aspects of your computer system, all in one
- package! It contains file and disk management utilities, a menu utility, a
- printer utility. Also, be sure to check out EVENTMAN, an event and process
- management utility, and see what it can do. Run programs unattended at any time
- of day or night, and repeat them daily, weekly, monthly, or whenever! DABUTIL
- includes a full-screen editor called SBE (much easier to use than other text
- editors.) FF finds lost files, even in many types of archives!
