CONDEN as in "Condense" is the theme here!  On board you'll find several
handy utilities that save you a lot of the paper or disk space often
required by text files by removing excess blank lines, titles, etc.
Heading in the other direction is an associated program will let you
produce multiple page-across listings using a wide-carriage printer.
Some other useful programs allow you to set screen colors from DOS, and
generate a cross-reference of your program listings.

How to Start:   To run an EXE program simply type its name and press
<ENTER>. To read DOC files simply enter TYPE filename.ext and press
<ENTER>.

CONDEN IS A PROGRAM THAT CAN BE USED TO COMPRESS DOCs i.e. REMOVE
BLANK LINES, LEADING BLANKS, PAGE TITLES, etc. THE PROGRAM CREATES
A COMPRESSED FILE (OPTIONAL) & USES COMPRESSED OR ORIGINAL FILE AS
OUTPUT TO THE PRINTER IN COMPRESSED TWO PAGES PER ONE 8.5x11 PAGE.
THE USER CAN CHANGE CONSTANTS CONTROLing MOST OPERATIONS. THIS CODE
IS NOT A WORD PROC. AND WILL NOT WRAP AROUND etc. THUS, IF LINES
ARE TO LONG TO FIT ON PAGE YOU NEED TO USE A WORD PROC. OR THEY WILL
BE CUT OFF. OFCOURSE MANY TIMES THIS IS OK, EVEN PREFERRED FOR SOME
DOCs.


THE DELO2 SET OF PROGRAMS CAN BE USED TO MANAGE, ORGANIZE, AND STUDY
A LARGE NUMBER OF FLOPPY DISKS. YOU CAN CHECK FOR DUPLICATE RECORDS,
LIST DIRs DISK BY DISK, and/or SORT BY RECORD NAME, SIZE, TIME, ETC.
YOU CAN SORT USING CONCATENATED FIELDS SUCH AS SIZE FIRST & NAME 2nd
DELO2A IS A BATCH FILE THAT READS DISK AFTER DISK AND CREATES A FILE
CONTAINING ALL DIRs FOR ALL DISKS. IF YOU CALL "DELO2A APPEND"   THE
FILE "LIST.TEM" WILL BE ADDED TO. IF YOU CALL "DELO2A"   THE PROGRAM
WILL CREATE A NEW FILE "LIST.TEM" WITH DIR, FILES, & FREE BYTES DATA

DELO2B CAN CHECK FOR DUPLICATION, LIST AND SORT THE FILE CREATED  BY
DELO2A. THIS PROGRAM WORKS IN CORE AND IS RELATIVELY FAST BUT IT  IS
LIMITED TO ABOUT 70 DISKS PER STUDY. DELO2C USES DISK READ/WRITE AND
CAN STUDY A LARGER NUMBER OF DISKS BUT IS SLOW. A RAMDISK SHOULD  BE
USED WITH DELO2C. LET ME KNOW OF ANY PROBLEM OR SUGGESTIONS AND I'LL
TRY TO MAKE IT BETTER. THE PROGRAMS ARE FREE AND CAN BE COPIED   BUT
USE THEM AT YOUR RISK, THE AUTHOR WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSSES.

THIS PROGRAM IS FOR USE WITH CONDEN. IT CAN PRODUCE THREE PAGE OUTPUT ON
A WIDE PRINTER USING 8.5 x 16 inch PAPER. THE COMPRESSED (OPTIONAL) FILE
IS BEST USED FOR THIS PURPOSE, i.e. TO GENERATE DOC. THAT TAKE UP MIN.
SPACE. SUCH AS THOSE FROM BULLETIN BOARDS, PROGRAM DOC., LISTINGS, etc.
NOTE : BEFORE USING THIS PROGRAM MAKE SURE PRINTER IS SET - FOR EXAMPLE
INPUT A>MODE LPT1:132,8 from DOS then A>THREEPAG


THIS PROGRAM CAN BE USED TO CROSS-REFERENCE STRINGS IN LINE NUMBERED
PROGRAMS SUCH AS BASIC CODES OR DATA LISTS. THE CODE FINDS ALL STRINGS,
NUMBERS, etc. BOUNDED BY SPECIFED CHRs AS IT IS NOW DEFINED.
BUT THE USER CAN SELECT HIS OWN SET OF CONSTANTS. FOR EXAMPLE, ONLY
ARRAYS, NO NUMBER STRINGS, NO LOWER CASE, etc.
