INTRODUCTION
The ECHO2 program is similar to the ECHO program supplied
with MS-DOS, except ECHO2 allows a user to generate the full
range of ASCII values 0 through 255. The ability to generate the
full range of ASCII means ANSI escape sequences can be generated
to control screen display attributes like bold, underline, blink,
reverse video, color, and position the cursor, if the ANSI driver
has been installed. Since ASCII values greater than 127 can be
easily generated, the special graphic characters in that range
can easily generated. In addition 16 different functions that
generate the current Date and Time are provided.
USAGE
Command line syntax is:
ECHO2 string
MENU
When ECHO2 is invoked with a string consisting of the single
character '?' (question mark), the following short menu will be
displayed on the screen.
ECHO2 version 1.4
Copyright 1987 by ABACUS Computer Service, Mine Hill, NJ 07801
$ at EOL = skip CR $l = <
$*### = Repeat $M = Minute: 00-59
$### = CHR$(N) $m = Month: 01-12
$$ = $ $n = Drive
$- = CR/LF $p = Directory
$? = This Menu $q = =
$a = Day: Sun-Sat $r = am/pm
$b = | $S = Second: 00-59
$D = Date: mm/dd/yy $s = SPACE
$d = Day: 01-31 $T = hh:MM:SS am/pm
$e = ESCape $t = HH:MM:SS
$g = > $U = UNIX style date
$H = Hour: 00-23 $v = DOS version
$h = Hour: 00-12 $w = DOW: Sun=0
$j = Month: Jan-Dec $Y = Year 4 digits
$k = Back Space $y = Year 2 digits
NOTE: The ### represents 1 to 3 numeric digits.
Copyright 1988 (C) by ABACUS Computer Service Page 1 of 3
ECHO2 Version 1.4 July 9, 1988
DESCRIPTION
All the special ECHO2 functions are invoked by an occurrence
of the '$' character in the command line "string". In most cases
the '$' character is followed by a single character that
represents the ECHO2 function. The first three functions listed
in the MENU are exceptions that merit additional details:
$ at EOL = skip CR - When the '$' character is the last
character in the command line "string" the final CR/LF
sequence is omitted. This allows joining the next
output to the previous line.
$*### = Repeat - The ### represents 1 to 3 numeric digits,
that in turn represent a value that specifies the
number of times the next character is to be repeated.
EXAMPLE: $*0063 Will output six '3' characters.
$### = CHR$(N) - This method of entering special characters
is similar to the BASIC notation shown. The given
value is simply output as a single ASCII character.
EXAMPLE: $1 will output the special "happy face"
character. And combining this with the 'Repeat'
function: $*7$1 will output seven "happy face"
characters.
All the other ECHO2 functions are single characters preceded
by the '$' character. This set of functions very closely matches
the character assignments of the MS-DOS PROMPT command, plus some
Date and Time functions that are similar to the options found in
the UNIX "date" command.

ILLUSTRATION FILES
The ECHO2 program is distributed along with two BAT files
that test and illustrate the various ECHO2 functions. The two
files are ECHO-TST.BAT and ECHO-SPL.BAT. The ECHO-TST file
exercises almost all of the ECHO2 functions, and the ECHO-SPL
file shows all of the special characters.
BOX CHARACTERS
For reference here are the characters required to draw a box
both in double and single outline graphic characters. The ECHO-
SPL.BAT file generates all of these characters.
DOUBLE SINGLE
$201 $205 $187 $218 $196 $191
$186 $186 $179 $179

ECHO2 Version 1.4 July 9, 1988
ANSI ESCAPE SEQUENCES
Some of the ANSI escape sequences that can be used to
control screen attributes, when the ANSI driver has been
installed, are given here for reference. The ECHO-TST.BAT file
contains examples of most of the following:
$e[0m - All attributes OFF
$e[1m - Bold ON
$e[4m - Underline ON, (Monochrome ONLY)
$e[5m - Blink ON
$e[7m - Reverse video ON
$e[37;44m - White foreground, Blue background
$e[24;1f - move cursor to line 24 col 1
COLORS:
Foreground: Background:
Black 30 40
Yellow 31 41
Green 32 42
Red 33 43
Blue 34 44
Magenta 35 45
Cyan 36 46
White 37 47
CUTE APPLICATION
Sometimes it would be nice if you could save a reference to
the current directory, so that you can easily return to it later.
A simple file HERE.BAT containing:
ECHO2 CD $p >\bin\utl\THERE.BAT
will create a THERE.BAT file. Before leaving the directory you
want to return to, run HERE then CD to anywhere and run THERE
when you want to return. The directory you use to place these
files in should be in your PATH specification. This is extremely
simple but sometimes the simple things can be very handy.

INTRODUCTION
BRACE is a utility that will display a C source program on
the screen, showing the nesting level of the {} "curly brackets"
(BRACEs). Each left brace '{' will cause the level number to
increase by one and each right brace '}' will cause the level
number to decrease by one. This makes it easy to spot a class of
errors that drive most C compilers insane!
OPTION
The -n option will cause line numbers to be displayed.
OPEN QUOTE LINES
BRACE also reports any line containing an "open" double or
single QUOTE phrase, that is a line where the number of "quote"
characters is out of balance. Depending on the particular
compiler this may or may not be an error.

INTRODUCTION
HEX converts numeric values and ASCII characters to the
various equivalent Decimal, Octal, Hex, and ASCII values. It
will accept input from the command line or interactively when the
-i option is given or when no arguments were given on the command
line. If an illegal option or the -? option is given on the
command line, or if the first character of an interactive input
line is the '?' character a short menu is displayed.
INPUT VALUES
Input values that begin with 0 (zero) are taken to be Octal
values and input values that begin with 0X or that end with H are
taken to be Hex values. Input that begins with the ' (single
quote) character is taken to be a character string.
OUTPUT DISPLAY
All three forms of the value are displayed on output, and if
the value is less than 127 the ASCII character is also displayed.

INTRODUCTION
EDMAC is a utility program that will allow a user to EDit a
WordPerfect MACro file using the WordPerfect key strokes which
are translated into human readable form. It can also be used via
the -s option to simply display the contents of a macro file in
human readable form. The numeric values will be displayed in
addition to the human readable description when the -d or -dd
option is given.
USAGE
The EDMAC program usage is:
EDMAC [-sndd] file ...
Where:
-s = Show file contents ONLY. (No Edit)
-n = add line Numbers to the -s output.
-d = Debug, show Decimal numeric values.
-dd = Debug, show Decimal, Hex, and Octal values.
When EDMAC is invoked with no arguments or if invalid
options are given, a short menu is displayed. When EDMAC is
invoked with filenames, each file name, file date and time is
displayed on a header line, which is immediately followed by the
first ten lines of the file followed by the editing status/prompt
line or if the -s option was given entire contents of the file is
displayed.
EDITING MACRO FILES
Edit mode is the default mode of EDMAC, that is if the -s
option is not given, edit mode is assumed. This editor is a line
editor in that it deals with the macro file in units of lines,
strings of characters ending with a 10 (^J) character or in
Wordperfect parlance the [HRt] character. Both the [HRt] and
[SRt] characters are recognized as End-Of-Line characters, as is
the End-Of-File condition since some macros simply terminate
without an ending EOL character.
The first operation of the editor is to rename the input
file with a .BAK file type. It then opens a new file with the
original file name, this file becomes the output file.
At initial start up EDMAC displays the first 10 lines of the
input file, which are also copied into the edit buffer. The
first line in the edit buffer becomes the current line, that line
is then displayed along with the status/prompt line:
(FILE.MAC 1 More) A,I,C,D,+,-,S,L,R,W,Q,?:
Where it waits for keyboard input. The left hand part of this
line is the "status" portion and contains the file name, the
Copyright 1987 (C) by ABACUS Computer Service Page 1 of 4
EDMAC Version 1.2 October 9, 1987
current line number and a "More/EOF" flag to indicate when the
last block from the input file has been read. The right hand
part of the line is the "prompt" portion, which shows the
commands that the user can select here.
A warning message is displayed before the status/prompt line
whenever the free space in the edit buffer is less than 50 bytes.
MENU
The "?" command or any illegal command key will produce the
following short menu of commands:
EDMAC Edit MENU
A = Append Line AFTER current line.
I = Insert Line BEFORE current line.
C = Change current line.
D = Delete current line.
+ = Move current line Forward.
- = Move current line Backward.
S = Substitute String in current line.
L = List (display) entire buffer.
R = Read next line from input file, into end (bottom)
of buffer.
W = Write first (top) line of buffer to output file.
Q = Quit, write ALL buffer lines to output file.
EDMAC COMMANDS
Each of the Edit commands and command aliases (command keys
that are taken as equivalent) will be discussed below:
A - Append a new line AFTER the current line, a second prompt is
displayed and then it waits for key board input, as with all
EDMAC input the actual WordPerfect key strokes should be
used. The human readable description, identical to the
output produced by the -s option will be displayed in
response to each key stroke. Input mode is terminated with
the RETURN/ENTER key or the Alt-9 key. (Alias: A, a).
I - Insert a new line BEFORE the current line, a second prompt
is displayed and the operation is otherwise identical to the
Append operation. (Alias: I, i, "Ins")
C - Change current line, is really a Delete followed by an
Insert. It is included here for user convenience. (Alias:
C, c)
D - Delete current line, removes the current line from the
buffer. Causes the line numbers to be renumbered
appropriately. (Alias: D, d, "Del")
+ - Move the current line Forward. Selects as the "current"
line the next higher line. If the current line is the last
line in the buffer a message to that effect is displayed and
the current line remains unchanged. The Q command should be
used to get to additional lines from the input file.
(Alias: +, F, f, "DownArrow", RETURN/ENTER)
Copyright 1987 (C) by ABACUS Computer Service Page 2 of 4
EDMAC Version 1.2 October 9, 1987
- - Move the current line Backward. Selects as the "current"
line the next lower line. If the current line is the first
line in the buffer a message to that effect is displayed and
the current line remains unchanged. (Alias: -, B, b,
"UpArrow")
S - Substitute String in current line. This operation is
similar to the UNIX "ed" command of the same name, i.e.
/old string/new string/
The current line is scanned for an occurrence of "old
string", if it is not found a message is displayed and the
operation is aborted. When "old string" is found in the
current line it is replaced by "new string". (Alias: /, S,
s)
L - List (display) the entire buffer. Each line in the current
buffer is displayed along with a line number. The line
numbers are the numbers you would expect to see from the -sn
option. (Alias: L, l)
R - Read next line from input file, into end (bottom) of buffer.
The R and W commands together provide a mechanism for
controlling the size of the current buffer, and the length
of the L command listing. (Alias: R, r)
W - Write first (top) line of buffer to output file. This
command is similar to the Q command except this command
writes a SINGLE line to the output file. (Alias: W, w)
Q - Quit, write All buffer lines to the output file, and read
the next 10 lines from the input file. When the last buffer
is read from the input file the status line "More" changes
to "-EOF-". (Alias: Q, q)
KEYBOARD INPUT
The key strokes used as input to the buffer, namely the A,
I, C, and S commands, should be those key strokes required by
WordPerfect NOT the characters displayed on the screen. For
example the display: <A6 Flush right> is the description of a
single character, the character produced by the Alt-F6 key
stroke. See the discussion of the "description string" under
OPERATION below for more details.
The Alt-0 (Alt-ZERO) key stroke can be used to input the
NULL character.
LINE NUMBERS
The line numbers shown in the list displayed by the L
command and the current line number displayed in the
status/prompt line are the numbers you would see if the file were
displayed using the -sn option. The line numbers are dynamically
adjusted to reflect inserted and deleted lines.
OPERATION
EDMAC expects to find the full range of values from 0 to 255
in the macro files. The range of values from 0 through 31 are
CONTROL characters, with the exception of 9 the "tab", 10 the
Copyright 1987 (C) by ABACUS Computer Service Page 3 of 4
EDMAC Version 1.2 October 9, 1987
"newline", and 13 the "return" characters. The range of values
32 through 126 are the printable ASCII characters. And the range
of values 127 through 255 are GRAPHIC characters.
The WordPerfect function keys and other operational keys are
represented in the macro files as values in the CONTROL and
GRAPHIC character ranges, printable ASCII characters are
represented as values in the usual 32 through 126 range and are
displayed by EDMAC as regular ASCII characters.
Values in the CONTROL and GRAPHIC ranges cause EDMAC to
display a "description string" except for cases where the
WordPerfect function is not known, in which case the ^A
convention for CONTROL characters, or the three digit decimal
numeric value for GRAPHIC characters is displayed.
The WordPerfect function/operation keys (the non-printable
CONTROL and GRAPHIC characters) are single byte values and since
EDMAC displays a variable number of characters in the
"description string", the description is ALWAYS displayed
surrounded by a pair of <> characters.
The "description string" consists of two parts. The first
part identifies the keyboard key that produced the character when
the macro was created. The FUNCTION keys all get two character
descriptions, where the first character is: C=Ctrl, S=Shft,
A=Alt, and F=Function. The second character is the numeric value
of the function key. None of the key descriptions contain the
'space' character. The second part is a WordPerfect functional
description. The first part is separated from the second by a
single 'space' character. Thus, if the Alt-F6 key were used in a
macro the EDMAC "description string" would be:
<A6 Flush right>
If the -d option was given the same Alt-F6 key would produce
the "description string":
<{181}A6 Flush right>
and the -dd option would produce:
<{181, B5, 265}A6 Flush right>

INTRODUCTION
FINDEX (File INDEX) or (FIND EXecutable) is a set of
programs that will generate an alphabetical (by file name) "index
list" of the files contained on a set of floppy disks or hard
disks. After the initial list is prepared only the disks that
have changed need be read in order to prepare a new updated
"index list". FINDEX is simple to operate and fast to update an
existing index. The required data is extracted from each floppy
disk in only a few seconds.
The main purpose of FINDEX is provide an "index list" of
files that can be scanned to find a file when you only have a
vague recollection of the file name and don't know what disk it's
on. The "index list" can also be used to determine how many
copies of a given file name can be found in a given set of floppy
disks or on a hard disk.
It can also be used to create a list of the contents of a
hard disk to make reconstructing the disk a little easier. The
file directory structure is maintained if the output is not
sorted.
A DiskID number must be physically applied to each floppy
disk in order for the "index list" to be useful. The DiskID
number may be written on the floppy disk label for disks not used
heavily. For very active floppy disks use small adhesive labels.
FINDEX creates a file (the .DIR file) containing the file
names, file sizes, and file dates for each file on a given disk,
including the files in all sub-directories. Files in directories
other than the "root" directory are shown with a marker to
indicate they reside in a sub-directory and, where space is
available the name of the parent sub-directory is shown along
with the file name. An option is provided to store complete (up
to 36 characters) path names for all sub-directories. Each file
is associated with the given DiskID number. After the .DIR files
are created for each disk to be indexed the contents of the .DIR
files are sorted and the records stored in the INDEX.TXT file
from which they are listed on the line printer, creating a hard
copy index of files.
The INDEX.TXT file is an index of DiskID numbers as well as
an index of files. Each .DIR file contains a record which shows
the DiskID number, the Disk VOLUME label and the time and date
the .DIR file was created. The DiskID record begins with a
single quote character which positions, after sorting, all the
DiskID records before the File records in the index list. The
DiskID records show which DiskID numbers are included in the
index as well as the time and date the file names were extracted

from that particular disk. The optional sub-directory path name
records are like the DiskID records. They begin with the single
quote character which causes them to sort to the beginning of the
index list along with the associated DiskID record.
TYPICAL USAGE
Since the size of the INDEX.TXT file determines the size of
the output listing and the time required to print and sort it,
the size of this file should be minimized. This can be done by
dividing ALL your disk files into several categories and then
prepare an INDEX.TXT file for each category. A natural division
might be "working disks", "backup disks", and "hard disks". The
FINDEX system does not limit the size of the INDEX.TXT file but
this file can conceivably grow to fill an entire floppy disk.
This would, if printed, produce a lot of paper! Most users will
find it best to create an INDEX.TXT file for each of the three
categories mentioned.

INSTALLATION
The files contained on the distribution ARChive are:
FINDEX.DOC - This document
FILES.EXE - Generates the .DIR files
GO.BAT - Batch file that invokes FILES
SORTX.BAT - Creates the INDEX.TXT file
CAT.EXE - Concatenates .DIR files, called by SORTX.BAT
PINDEX.EXE - Prints the INDEX.TXT file
INDEX.TXT - A sample index file.
SORTF217.COM - Fast ASCII file sorter handles large files.
SORTF217.DOC - SORTF program documentation.
REGISTER.FOR - Registration / License Form.
The first step in the installation process should be to
place a write protect tab on the distribution disk, extract the
FINDEX files with the EXTRACT -X command, onto a disk labeled:
FINDEX WORK
Then format a second disk, and label it:
FINDEX DIR
And copy the files FILES.EXE and GO.BAT to the FINDEX DIR disk.
This FINDEX DIR disk will be used to store the .DIR files which
are the "DIR" like lists of files from your disks.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Thanks to Vernon D. Buerg for permission to distribute his
SORTF program. The SORTF program and documentation files are
version 2.17, which is the latest available at this time.
OPERATION GENERAL
Each specific OPERATION section below begins with a
CONFIGURATION note which shows disk drive usage: what disk should
be in which drive, and which drive should be the current drive.
The drives shown are simply working EXAMPLES, other combinations
will also work, and where a hard drive is available you can
simply substitute C: where ever B: is shown.
In general options are given on the command line as a '-'
(dash) character followed by a single character that represents
the selected option. Single character options can be grouped
after a single '-' character but options requiring additional
input must be given at the end of a group.
The major operations are detailed, along with an example
below, an OVERVIEW is as follows:
FILES - Collect the names and descriptions of the files
contained on the disks to be "indexed".
SORT - Merge the data from the FILES operation, sort it onto
a single INDEX.TXT file.
PRINT - Make a paper copy of the INDEX.TXT file.

FINDEX Version 2.6 July 23, 1987
FILES OPERATION
CONFIGURATION: A: - Input disk.
B:> B: - FINDEX DIR disk.
The main program for collecting the list of files from each
disk is FILES. It's usage is:
FILES [-acdfp] D12
Where:
-a Automatically increment the DiskID number and execute
again. This is handy when you are running a series of
disks that are in sequence. This option also turns on
option -f for file output. If the initial DiskID is
given as three alphabetic characters, the last letter
is converted to the digit "1" for the second pass. The
prompt between passes says "use the * character to
STOP", actually ANY character followed by the
RETURN/ENTER character will cause termination. It will
automatically terminate if the numeric part of the
DiskID reaches the maximum.
-c Output path records with a 3 digit numeric DiskID.
This is particularly useful for hard disks where you
may have many sub-directories.
-dB: Drive to get the files from. The drive character can
be separated from the -d with a single space and the
colon character is accepted but is not necessary.
Default: the current drive.
-fNAME File name to be used for the output. Normally FILES
sends the output to the screen but this option causes
the output to be placed in the named file. The NAME
can include the drive character followed by a colon and
may include sub-directories, but must not exceed 80
characters. Also NAME can be simply the drive letter
and a colon, or the drive letter, a colon, a sub-
directory (path) name ending with the \ character. The
NAME can be separated from the -f with a single space
character. Default: DiskID.DIR
-p Output Path records. This option produces additional
output but for disks containing many sub-directories it
provides a way to get the complete path name in the
output. Default: no path records are output.
D12 is an example of the DiskID number. You will use the
actual DiskID number assigned to the disk you are
currently creating the file list for. This DiskID
number must be three characters, usually the first is
an alphabetic character (A thru Z) and the last two are
numeric.
When FILES is invoked with no arguments (the DiskID must
always be given) or if invalid option are given a short menu is
displayed.

FINDEX Version 2.6 July 23, 1987
GO OPERATION
CONFIGURATION: A: Input Disk
B:> B: FINDEX DIR disk.
This simple batch program reduces the key strokes required
to invoke the FILES program. Since it is intended that the user
modify this file to fit the specific requirements, it will be
described here. This file contains the following:
if %1! == ! goto menu
files -ada %1
goto end
:menu
rem NEED DiskID
:end
The first line just checks that some argument was given on
the command line, if none was typed the "NEED DiskID" message is
displayed and the program terminates. If an argument was given
it simply passes that argument, the three character DiskID to
FILES on the command line that invokes it. As shown here the
options: -ada specify Automatic mode (-a) and Drive A: (da). This
is the setup to collect the file names from the disk in drive A:,
and create the DiskID.DIR file on drive B:, when the current
drive is B: and the GO.BAT file is on drive B:. If it is desired
to collect files from drive B: simply change the -ada to -adb.
SORTX OPERATION
CONFIGURATION: A: FINDEX WORK
A:> B: FINDEX DIR
This program resides on the FINDEX WORK disk created during
the installation process above. It uses the CAT.EXE file as well
as the SORT.EXE that is supplied with the MS-DOS system. The
SORTX program usage is:
SORTX -f or -h
Where:
-f is to designate a Floppy drive system.
-h is to designate a Hard drive system.
NOTE: The sorting operation can take some time to complete,
an INDEX.TXT file with 1300 records takes over ten
minutes. During this time nothing appears to be
happening, since the sorting takes place in memory.
Just be patient! In addition the MS-DOS SORT program
is limited to files less than 64K bytes.
The SORTF program written by Vernon D. Buerg is far superior
to the standard SORT program. This program or something like it
is a must if your files grow beyond the 64K limit. In addition
to the increased file size limit it's much faster - it will sort
a file of 101,449 bytes containing 2,650 records in 63 seconds!
The SORTF program requires two files: an input file and an
output file. The following two command lines will collect all
the .DIR file contents into a single file, TEMP, and then execute
SORTF to sort and put the output in the file INDEX.TXT:
cat *.dir >temp
sortf temp index.txt
Copyright 1987 (C) by ABACUS Computer Service Page 5 of 8
FINDEX Version 2.6 July 23, 1987
PINDEX OPERATION
CONFIGURATION: A: FINDEX WORK
A:> B: FINDEX DIR
This program prints the contents of the INDEX.TXT file in a
compressed print format (132 characters per line), with page
heading and page numbers. The file records are printed in three
columns and 60 lines per page or a total of 180 records per page.
Can also be used as an on-line "find" tool by use of the -d
option.
The PINDEX program usage is:
PINDEX [-hfsxkmd]
Where:
-h Heading string (48 char max)
-f Input file (default: INDEX.TXT)
-s Select string (20 max)
-x eXclude string (20 max)
-k Kill summary report
-m Margin string (default: 4 spaces)
-d Display output on screen.
All strings given on the command line must be quoted if they
contain spaces or other characters that MS-DOS considers special.
The space character immediately after an option character is
optional, thus -h"Head string" and -h "Head string" are
equivalent. If the -h option is not given the string "Disk
Index" is used.
The -f option is used to specify the input file name. If it
is not given "INDEX.TXT" is used.
Multiple select and exclude options are permitted (up to 20
each). All select and exclude strings are converted to UPPER
case and the wild card characters "?" and "*" are taken
literally. If neither the -s or -x options are given ALL records
are selected.
When there is space remaining on the last output page a
"Summary" report is printed. This report contains a count of
Disk records and File records, the Input file name and date, and
the program name and version. When either the -s or -x options
were specified on the command line the count of Selected and
eXcluded records is also given along with as many Select and
eXclude strings as will fit on a single line. The -k option will
suppress the entire summary report.
The -m option allows the user to select the style and width
of the column separators and determines the overall printed width
of the data lines. The default of 4 spaces produces an output
line of 132 characters which is the maximum for some printers.
EXAMPLE:
PINDEX -h "My Work Files" -fb:index.txt
Will produce a listing of all disk and file records in the
file INDEX.TXT in drive B: and the heading line will include the
Copyright 1987 (C) by ABACUS Computer Service Page 6 of 8
FINDEX Version 2.6 July 23, 1987
string "My Work Files". A full (7 lines) summary report will be
printed on the last page if there is otherwise empty space
remaining on that page.
DISK ID NUMBERS
The DiskID sequence is limited to three characters the first
of which is expected to be an alphabetic character and the
second two characters are usually numeric digits. The second
character can be an alphabetic character which limits the numeric
single digit to ten possibilities - zero through nine.
If the letters 'I' and 'O' are eliminated to avoid confusion
with the numerals '1' and '0', 2,376 different disks can be
identified with a unique ANN (Alpha, Numeric, Numeric) code.
Another 5,760 disks can be identified with a unique AAN code, for
a grand total of 8,136 different disks.
The two alphabetic character (AAN) DiskID form allows for
576 different combinations of characters, each capable of
identifying ten different disks - this is ideal if you store your
floppy disk in the standard ten per box.
Since it is necessary to physically apply the DiskID
sequence to each disk, it is important that you choose an
identification scheme that will do the job for your circumstances
because it is very painful to make changes and re mark all the
disks.
EXAMPLE
I will list the steps used to create an index for several
boxes of floppy disks. For this description I will use the
GO.BAT file described above.
1. Type: b:
To make drive B: the current drive.
2. Place the FINDEX DIR disk (Created under install,
above) in drive B:
3. Choose a identification scheme for the boxes of disks,
in this case it was decided to begin the disk
identification with DA, so the first box is labeled DA
and the enclosed disks are physically labeled DA0
through DA9.
4. Place disk DA0 in drive A:
5. Type: go da0
6. When the prompt appears (about 2 seconds), remove the
disk in drive A: and put the next disk, DA1 in it's
place.
7. Repeat Step 6 until you have processed disk DA9, after
which the program will automatically stop.
8. Label the next box of disks, and goto Step 4, using the
appropriate DiskID i.e. db0, dc0, dd0 .....
9. Run SORTX to create a sorted INDEX.TXT file.
Copyright 1987 (C) by ABACUS Computer Service Page 7 of 8
FINDEX Version 2.6 July 23, 1987
10. Run PINDEX to print the INDEX.TXT file.
SPECIAL DISKS
Some disks, particularly some "copy protected" disks will
fail if you simply try to do a standard DIR on them. "Flight
Simulator" is a case in point. The FILES program will also fail
when it attempts to read such a disk. The best way around the
problem is to use your text editor to make an ASCII file that
simulates the FILES output. For example, the file DK7.DIR was
created containing the following two lines:
'DK7 - Flight Sim Tue Jun 9 21:52 1987
Flight Sim DK7 ??? ?-??-?? ??:??
This will fill what would otherwise be a hole in the
INDEX.TXT file because of the inability to read the "copy
protected" disk. NOTE: the use of lower case characters, for
both the disk label and the filename; this is to call attention
to the fact that this is a special case.
Some disks have what would normally be called illegal
characters in the file names, when FILES encounters an illegal
character, specifically a character with a value less than 45 or
greater than 126, it converts it to the ? character.
FILE SIZES
Some statistics from an actual FINDEX run are: 13 boxes of
floppy disks, contained 129 disks, for a total of 2,521 file
records, produced an INDEX.TXT file of 101,449 bytes, took 63
seconds for SORTF to sort (the MS-DOS SORT can't handle a file
this large), PINDEX produced 15 printed pages when the INDEX.TXT
file was printed.
On floppy disk systems the maximum number of files (111) is
a limit that is likely to be reached before you run out of space.
The solution to both the number of files and the space
limitations is another floppy disk.

SORTF217.DOC
SORTF Command
(c) Copyright Vernon D. Buerg 1985-87
Version 2.17 - March 2, 1987
Purpose: The SORTF command reads data from an ASCII file, sorts the
records, and writes the data to another file.
Format:
SORTF [d:][path]fname[.ext] [d:][path]fname[.ext]
[/+nnn[,len]]
[/R]
[/C]
Remarks: Records read from the input file ending with a carriage
return and line feed are considered logical records and may
be up to 256 characters in length.
The records are sorted into ascending ASCII character order
unless /R is supplied to reverse the order.
The /C option may be added to cause SORTF to treat the key
fields as case insensitive data. That is, lower case letters
in the key field are treated as upper case letters.
The key is taken from the first character position, unless
the /+ operand is used to specify the location of the key
within the records. The position may be a value from one
to 255. The first 12 characters at that position are used
as the record key unless the 'len' operand is used to
specify the key length. The key length may be a value from
1 to 99.
For example, to sort a file in descending order with the
keys in position 10:
SORTF TEST.DAT TEST.SRT /R/+10
Or, to sort the same file using keys with 24 characters:
SORTF TEST.DAT TEST.SRT /R/+10,24
Depending on the amount of memory available, up to 40000
records, or a file up to 16-Mb, may be sorted.
The advantages of using SORTF instead of the SORT filter are:
- files larger than 63K may be sorted
- less time is required
For best results, place the input file on the fastest
available drive, e.g. RAM disk.

INTRODUCTION
This document covers both the BSAVE and BLOAD programs.
These two short programs, similar to their counterparts in BASIC,
deal with screen image files.
FORMAT
BSAVE filespec
BLOAD filespec
REMARKS
BSAVE saves a byte image of the screen buffer, and BLOAD
writes the saves image back to the screen buffer.
The original PC Magazine article also describes two other
very short programs to set either LOWRES or HIGHRES graphics
mode. These two additional programs will permit BSAVE and BLOAD
to work with graphic screens.
The BSAVE and BLOAD programs can be used, as is, with text
screens. If you have, for example, a BATCH file that displays a
menu with the painfully slow ECHO command, you can add the BSAVE
command at the end of the menu and then change the BATCH file so
BLOAD will instantly load your menu. The two BATCH files might
look something like this:
MENUSAVE.BAT
CLS
ECHO < use the current text
ECHO from your menu here >
BSAVE menu
NEWMENU.BAT
BLOAD menu

INTRODUCTION
The CO utility provides facilities to copy, move, or delete
files individually or in tagged groups from directory listings
sorted by name, extension, size or date.
FORMAT
CO [d:] [\directory] [/E] [/S] [/D] [/T] [/O]
REMARKS
Entered without any of its optional switches, CO presents an
alphabetized listing of the current directory with a menu of
function key commands on the right. The file attributes
(Archive, Hidden, Read-Only, and System) are shown by the
appropriate letters to the right of each listed file. The Up
Down Arrow keys move the file-selection highlight bar one line at
a time. Ctrl-PgUp (PgUp) and ^PgDn move to the top and bottom of
the current display page (21 files), while PgUp and PgDn allow
you to scroll through the entire directory listing. The Home and
End keys go to the beginning and end of the listing,
respectively. Pressing a letter moves the highlight bar to the
first (then subsequent) filename(s) beginning with that letter.
Multiple files are tagged for group copying, moving, or deleting
by pressing the gray plus (+) key; the gray minus (-) key unmarks
a mistagged file.
The optional /E, /S, /D, /T, and /O command-line switches
sort the initial directory listing by Extension, Size, DaTe (/D
and /T operate identically), or Original DOS order. Once on
screen, function keys F7 (Name), F8 (Extension), F9 (Size), and
F10 (Date) can be used for subsequent sorts. F1 initializes the
Copy process for the highlighted (or marked) file(s). F6 toggles
the Copy Verify option (comparable to COPY /V). F2 and F3 are
used for Move and Delete. You are prompted for the appropriate
destination for Copy and Move: different drives and paths are
supported, as is the use of the DOS ? and * wildcards. Renaming
while copying is permitted.
When a marked (tagged) file is successfully copied, its
marker arrow is replaced by an asterisk. If a floppy disk
becomes filled, CO automatically attempts to find other marked
files that will fit, but will then halt with some file(s)
remaining to be copied. Replace the full diskette with another,
hit F1 again, reenter the correct destination drive, and the
remaining marked files will be copied.
To divide the contents of a directory into two parts, mark
and copy the first set of files, as above, so that all have the
"copied" asterisk. Then press F5 to mark the previously untagged
files and repeat the copy process for the second group.

CO PC Magazine Vol 6 No 21, Dec 8, 87 - P397 July 8, 1988
NOTE: CO functions can alternately be performed by Ctrl-
letter commands: ^C (Copy), ^D (Delete), ^M (Move), ^V (Verify),
^N (Name), ^E (Extension), and ^T (Date).

RN a companion utility, PC Magazine Vol. 6 No. 16, Sep 29,

prefer using CO from the RN menu all you need to do is rename
DR.COM to DR1.COM and rename CO.COM to DR.COM. The RN menu will
still show DR but when CO is loaded it identifies its self.

INTRODUCTION
DR.COM provides an integrated set of file management
facilities for sorting renaming, deleting and moving files to
another directory. The command is entered at the DOS prompt.
FORMAT
DR [d:] [\directory] [/E] [/S] [/D] [/T] [/O]
REMARKS
The default filename display (21 per page, to a maximum of
721) is sorted alphabetically. Various switches, added to the
command, may be added to sort by other criteria:
/E (sort by Extension)
/S (sort by Size)
/D or /T (sort by DaTe)
/O (sort by DOS order)
Thus for example,
DR \PROG /S
sorts the initial display of the PROG directory of the default
drive by size.
When a DR listing is on-screen, a menu is displayed showing
further options. A highlight bar illuminates a single filename,
and the Up and Down Arrow keys move the bar a line at a time.
The PgUp and PgDn keys move it a page at a time, and Ctrl-PgUp
and Ctrl-PgDn move it to the top and bottom of the current page.
Home and End move to the beginning and end of the directory
listing. Pressing (and repeating) a letter moves the bar to the
first (and successive) filename(s) beginning with that letter.
The highlighted file may be brought on-screen for viewing by
pressing F1 (or Enter or Ctrl-V). The Up and Down Arrows, PgUp
and PgDn, and Home and End work within the file as well. Esc,
Enter, or F1 returns you to the menu and directory listing. At
the menu level, Esc terminates the program.
Within DR, these function keys or Ctrl-letter combinations
are:
F1 Ctrl-V (or Enter) View file.
F2 Ctrl-D Delete file.
F3 Ctrl-R . . . . . . Rename file.
F4 Ctrl-M Move file.
F5 (none) . . . . . . CONFIRM DELETE ON/OFF
F6 Ctrl-W WordStar hi-bit ON/OFF
F7 Ctrl-N . . . . . . Sort files by Name.
F8 Ctrl-E Sort files by Extension.
F9 Ctrl-S . . . . . . Sort files by Size.
F10 Ctrl-T Sort files by Date

DR PC Magazine Vol 6 No 14, Aug 1987 - P437 July 8, 1988
Successive sorts can be used to arrange files, e.g., in
order of size and then, additionally, by extension.
Files can be renamed and may be moved from one directory to
another within DR, but they cannot be copied from within DR. See
CO, PC Magazine Vol. 6 No. 21, Dec 8, 1987 Page 397 for a
utility that will copy files.

INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this document describe the files in the HARD
archive and to present a couple ideas that are handy when using a
hard disk.
The main program in this archive is MENU. There are also a
number of programs that were published in PC Magazine. The .DOC
files for the PCM programs is text extracted from the original
article, in most cases it is a verbatim copy of the "manual"
page. The WHEREIS program and .DOC file are from a different
source. The element that all the programs here have in common is
their utility when using a HARD disk.
The RN program with its directory "tree" structure is very
handy simply for selecting directories. Because RN blanks the
screen when it runs, there is no visual reference remaining after
you use RN to "Change Directory".
JUMP.BAT
When the visual reference is desireable or when you simply
want something different a simple .BAT file can be constructed
that might contain:
echo off
rem JUMP.BAT
if %1! == ! goto edit
goto %1
:1
cd \wrd\wp\doc
goto end
:2
cd \wrd\wp\doc\pcm
goto end
:x
cd \msc\pc-util\xxx
goto end
:utl
cd \bin\utl
goto end
:edit
edlin \bin\utl\jump.bat
:end
This file when executed with no argument will invoke the
EDLIN editor on its self, under the assumption that the user
wants to change something. If it is invoked with one of its
labels as an argument i.e.
JUMP 2

HARD Version 1.0 July 9, 1988
the "cd \wrd\wp\doc\pcm" command would be executed making that
directory the current directory. If your PROMPT string includes
the $p option you will see the immediate result.
PROMPT STRING
The following PROMPT string:
prompt $e[s$e[1;50f $d $t$h$h$h$e[u$e[D$p$g
places the current date and time in the top right of the screen,
then displays the usual prompt characters which in this case
includes the "current directory" string.
Since the prompt is displayed at the completion of each
command, this can be used as a "timer" that records the
completion time of the last command when you are away from your
machine.
HERE and THERE
Sometimes it is would be nice if you could save a reference
to the current directory so that you can return to it later. A
simple file HERE.BAT containing:
echo2 CD $p >\bin\utl\there.bat
will create the THERE.BAT file. Before leaving the directory you
want to return to, run HERE then CD to anywhere and run THERE
when you want to return. The directory you use to place these
files in should be in your PATH specification. This is extremely
simple but sometimes the simple things can be very handy.
ECHO2
This program and its documentation can be found on the
ABACUS Computer Service, PC-UTIL disk in the BATCH archive file.

The KEYPRESS program provides the ability to branch in a
BATCH file. This program was published in the USER-TO-USER
column of PC Magazine July 21, 1987 Page 474.
FORMAT
KEYPRESS list of valid characters
REMARKS
The argument "list" is a list of one or more displayable
characters (optionally separated by one or more spaces), for
example,
KEYPRESS a b c d
invokes KEYPRESS which waits for the user to press a key, then
compares that key with the "list" of valid characters. If it's
in the "list", KEYPRESS returns a DOS exit code set to the index
of the character pressed in the "list" of valid characters; if it
is not, KEYPRESS returns an exit code of 0 (zero). So if the
batch file included the line in the example and the user typed a
C, KEYPRESS would report a 3, since "c" is the third character in
the "list". To allow greater flexibility KEYPRESS does not
distinguish between upper and lower case letters.
A sample batch file might look like this:
echo off
:query
echo Available Programs:
echo a. 123
echo b. dBASE
echo Your choice (a/b) ?
KEYPRESS a b
if errorlevel 2 goto b
if errorlevel 1 goto a
echo Invalid reply, try again.
goto query
:a
123
goto exit
:b
dBASE
:exit
NOTE: the exit codes returned by KEYPRESS must be checked from
highest to lowest (right to left in the "list" of valid
characters) because IF ERRORLEVEL "n" succeeds if the exit code
is greater than or equal to "n".

INTRODUCTION
The MENU program consists of a set of 3 files:
MENU.BAT
MEN-CASE.BAT
MX-SCR.DAT
The operation of MENU involves the simple selection from a
menu the application program you wish to run. The purpose of
this document is to explain how to modify the BATCH files
supplied, to fit your machine and your personal taste. The MENU
program will have (after the necessary modifications are made)
all that is required to successfully execute your application
programs, starting with the directory where it resides, the
directory containing the related data files, and any preliminary
steps that may be necessary before the application program is
executed. Thus once the necessary modifications are made you no
longer have to rely on your memory for where the program lives or
what is necessary for it to run.
USER LICENSE
If you find this program useful you are requested to send a
$10 registration and license fee to ABACUS Computer Service.
This fee will entitle you to continue that use with a clear
conscience. Please pass a copy to a friend! It is NOT necessary
to be a licensed user to distribute copies. All registered users
will receive notice of the first update that is made after their
registration.
DIRECTORY STRUCTURE
It is a good idea to organize your hard disk to contain a
limited number of subdirectories in the "root" directory. If
this set of subdirectories is truly general purpose you will have
a place for everything else you want to load. The top level
directories you might consider are:
\ASM - ASseMblers
\BAS - BASic Programs
\BIN - BINary Executables in PATH
\CMP - CoMPilers
\DBS - Data BaSe
\DSK - DeSK top
\GAM - GAMes
\GRF - GRaFics
\MSC - MiSCellaneous
\SST - Spread SheeTs
\WRD - WoRD Processing
\XXX - eXperimental stuff

MENU Version 2.1 July 9, 1988
YOUR PATH
The PATH definition (usually specified in the AUTOEXEC.BAT
file) can be a strong influence on how you structure your
directories, you should consider the following PATH:
PATH=.\BIN;..\BIN;C:\BIN\UTL;C:\BIN\SYS;C:\BIN\UNX
The first two specifications are of interest here, the .\BIN
says look in the current directory for a directory named BIN, and
then if this fails, the ..\BIN says look in the "parent"
directory for a directory named BIN. This gives you a lot of
flexibility in structuring the directories on your hard disk and
floppy disks.
ANSI ESCAPE SEQUENCES
The ANSI escape sequences that are used to control screen
attributes, require the ANSI driver to be installed.
MODIFYING MENU.BAT
This file contains 3 main sections:
1) Initializing the screen file.
2) Displaying the menu, & getting the users choice.
3) Executing the users selection.
Before you modify any of the files try the command line:
BLOAD MX-SCR.DAT
to see how fast the display is and to see what the original
version looks like, on your machine.
MENU.BAT - SECTION 1
This section is not normally executed except to create a new
version of the "screen" file, MX-SCR.DAT. If the -X option is
not given on the command line, this section is skipped. The
following lines are representative of this section. NOTE: the
line numbers are for reference only and are NOT part of the
actual file, also some of the long lines are shown "folded" here:

MENU Version 2.1 July 9, 1988
17: echo2 $186$9$e[1m 1 $e[0m= WINDOWS Desk Top$
18: echo2 $e[1m I $e[0m= Assembler,
A86$9$9$186
Lines 17 and 18 are the first lines you may want to change.
Line 17 is the first (top left) menu item:
1 = WINDOWS Desk Top
The $186 character is the double vertical bar character, the
$9 is the horizontal TAB character, the $e[1m characters set
"bold" mode, the $e[0m characters restore "normal" mode, and the
$ at the end of the line tells ECHO2 to omit the CR LF at the end
of its output.
Line 18 is the top right menu item:
I = Assembler, A86
The $e[1m characters set "bold" mode for the I, the $e[0m
characters restore "normal" mode, the $9 characters are TAB
characters to line up the right side of the border, and the $186
is the vertical double bar character for the right side.
This line pair pattern that produces a single line on the
actual menu repeats to lines 51 and 52:
51: echo2 $186$9$e[1m H $e[0m= xxx$
52: echo2 $e[1m Z $e[0m=
xxx$*25$9$186
53: echo2 $200$*75$205$188
54: bsave \bin\utl\mx-scr.dat
Line 51 is the last(bottom) menu item in the left column:
H = xxx
Line 52 is the last (bottom) menu item in the right column:
Z = xxx
Both of these menu items are NULL items, place holders, they
are positions where new applications can be inserted.
Line 53 is the bottom of the double line border.
Finally, line 54 actually saves the resulting screen image
on the MX-SCR.DAT file. This path name may need to be changed to
reflect your directory structure. The same path name used here
should also be used on line 57.
MENU.BAT - SECTION 2
This section uses the MX-SCR.DAT file and is always
executed:
56: :disp
57: bload \bin\utl\mx-scr.dat
58: echo2 $e[24;1f$e[1m Which MENU Item do you want?

95: if errorlevel 1 goto M1
96: echo2 $7$e[5m$e[1mERROR$e[0m - Not a valid
choice, try again!!!!
97: goto end
Line 57 should be changed to agree with any changes you made
to line 54.
Line 58 simply positions the cursor and displays the prompt
message. Line 59 waits for the user to type a singe character
response to the menu and prompt display. Lines 60 through 97
simply branch to the appropriate program label.
MENU.BAT - SECTION 3
This section finally calls the specific application,
although indirectly. The actual code to actually invoke the
application could be placed here but if you have a mouse that
permits you to design your own POP-UP menus you may find it
advantageous to use the same driver program for both the MENU
program and your POP-UP mouse menus. See: MOUSE MENUS below.
Some representative lines from this section are:
98: :M1
99: echo 1 - WINDOWS Desk Top
100: men-case m1
101: goto end
102: :M2
103: echo 2 -

237: goto end
238: :M36
239: echo Z -
240: men-case mZ
241: goto end
242: :end
If you decide to maintain the two level structure, all you
need to change in this section is the "echo" lines which only
serve to confirm to the user what key was pressed.

MENU Version 2.1 July 9, 1988
MODIFYING MEN-CASE.BAT
This file is really a large branch table. If you have
organized your hard disk directory structure to contain a BIN
directory for each application (something that works out very
well!), and if each application BIN directory contains a GO.BAT
file that contains all the commands necessary to start that
application, then the task of modifying this file is trivial, as
you can see from the MEN-CASE.BAT file as supplied. The major
task is keeping this file synchronized with the changes you made
to the MENU.BAT file. Some representative lines from this file
are:
15: :m1
16: cd \DSK\WIN
17: go
18: goto end
19: :m2
20: echo 2 is NULL
21: goto end
............................
163: :mY
164: echo Y is NULL
165: goto end
166: :mZ
167: echo Z is NULL
168: goto end
169: :end
170:
Line 15 is the label that we arrive at when the command
line:
MEN-CASE M1
is executed. This is the action called for in line 100 of the
MENU.BAT file. Line 16 simply "Changes Directory" to the
appropriate directory for this application; and line 17 executes
the GO.BAT file found there.
MOUSE MENUS
The files M_MS-DOS.* are files that define a mouse POP-UP
menu for the IMSI OPTIMOUSE (International Microcomputer
Software, Inc. / Mouse Systems Corporation). The M_MS-DOS.MSC
file contains the source code used to generate the M_MS-DOS.COM
file. This menu requires the MOUSESYS.COM, copyrighted driver to
operate properly. If you have the IMSI OPTIMOUSE you should be
able to use these files directly.
ECHO2
This program and its documentation can be found on the
ABACUS Computer Service, PC-UTIL disk in the BATCH archive file.

INTRODUCTION
REPEATS searches through all the subdirectories on a drive
and produces a listing of all files (and the directory in which
they are located) that have the same filenames.
FORMAT
REPEATS [d:] [/P]
REMARKS
The drive specifier (d:) is not required if the current
drive is to be searched. If used (as, for example, to check a
directory-structured floppy disk), the colon must be included in
the drive specification. The optional /P printer switch will
echo the output both to a printer and to the screen. In
addition, standard DOS redirection (>) may be used to store the
output to a filename.
If insufficient memory is available the program terminates
with an error message to that effect. Ctrl-Break will terminate
the program manually.

INTRODUCTION
Simplifies creating, removing, renaming, hiding, unhihing,
and changing to directories. Also sets/resets the read-only and
archive bits of all files within a directory, and reports
filecount and space allocated. Allows for immediate call-up of
DR.COM (Vol. 6 No. 14) for handling individual files.
FORMAT
RN [d:] [/I]
REMARKS
RN can be entered either as an immediate command at the DOS
prompt, or it can be installed on a hard disk (using the /I
option) with a memory-resident data base of directory information
that speeds up its subsequent operations. If no drive (d:) is
specified, the current drive is assumed.
If installed, RN should be loaded before "sidekick" and any
other uninstallable memory-resident programs. (RN cannot be
deinstalled without rebooting.) The program requires 128K RAM
operating room; the database, if used, occupies 14K. RN cannot
be installed from within an application with a "hot key"; it can
be accessed only from the DOS prompt. Pressing Esc terminates
RN's operations.
When issued, RN.COM brings up an alphabetized directory tree
with the current listing highlighted and a menu listing the
function keys used for its various directory services. The
directory highlight bar is moved one entry at a time by the Up
Arrow and Down Arrow keys, and in larger increments by the Ctrl-
PgUp and Ctrl-PgDn, PgUp, PgDn, and Home and End keys. The
highlight bar should be placed on the directory to be affected by
the subsequent function key.
When renaming (F2) and creating (F3) directories, do not
enter the backslash (\) character but include it in figuring the
maximum path length (63 characters). RmDir (F4). if you confirm
at its warning prompt, deletes all files within the directory
(unless they are marked read-only) before removing it.
Hide/Unhide (F5) affects the directory name only, not the
individual files. F6 and F7 (mark/unmark as read-only and
set/reset the archive bit) toggle these bits on all files within
the directory. F8 updates the directory database if changes are
made outside RN, and F9 gives a file count together with the
space allocated to a directory's files. F10 calls DR.COM.
NOTE
F2 (Rename Directory) require DOS 3.x.

INTRODUCTION
The SWEEP program causes a command to be successively
executed in every subdirectory on a hard disk.
FORMAT
SWEEP Command [parameter(s)]
REMARKS
SWEEP starts from the current directory. In order to use
SWEEP to extend the range of a command to all the subdirectories
on a disk, use CD (if necessary) to make the root directory your
current directory. From the root directory, the command
SWEEP DIR
will display the listings, by subdirectory, of every non-hidden
file on the disk. To erase all the .BAK files on a disk you need
only get into the root directory and issue the command
SWEEP DEL *.BAK
SWEEP itself will not accept parameters other than its
command. Thus, if you are on drive C: and wish a directory of
all files on drive D: to be sent to your printer, you must first
make drive D: the current drive before you issue the command
SWEEP DIR > LPT1
(In this case you would either need a copy of SWEEP.COM on drive
D: or else drive D: would have to be listed on your PATH.)
SWEEP can execute .BAT file commands (and even non-DOS
commands, such as LOCATE.COM). A useful file called CLEAN.BAT
might consist of the three lines
DEL *.BAK
DEL *.TMP
DEL *.OBJ
From the root directory, if you then enter
SWEEP CLEAN
all .BAK, .TMP, and .OBJ files will be erased from the disk.
NOTE
Requires DOS 2.0 or later.

INTRODUCTION
LPR is a utility program that prints ASCII files on the line
printer with page headings and page numbers. Options are
provided to alter the page heading, control page eject, fold long
lines, add a left margin to the output, print line numbers, pass
graphics characters, expand C style comments, make otherwise non-
printing characters visible, and place the output on a file,
rather than the line printer.
USAGE
Command line syntax is:
LPR [-h Heading] [-elmnpcsvf] file ...
The file name is the INPUT file and may contain "wild card"
characters. Output is to the line printer (LST: device).
MENU
When LPR is invoked with no file name, or with an illegal option
a short menu will be displayed on the screen.
OPTIONS
Command line options are
-h Page Heading (50 characters max) normally the file name
and date is used as the heading. If the heading
contains embedded spaces (32, 20H) it must be enclosed
in double quotes (34, 22H).
-e Eject page when a FF (Form Feed, 12, 0CH) is found in
input, normally the FF is ignored unless there are
fewer than 15 lines remaining on the current page.
-l Fold Long Lines, normally long lines (over 80
characters) are truncated.
-m Margin, increment left Margin. Each 'm' given in the
option list is counted. The resulting number is the
number of spaces to be output before each line. Thus
the option -mmm will produce a left margin of three
spaces.
-n Print line Numbers.
-p Pass parity bit to the printer, normally this bit is
masked out so WORDSTAR files will print correctly.
-c Expand C style comments. Lines that begin with the
3characters /*- (slash, star, minus) are expanded to
Copyright 1987 (C) by ABACUS Computer Service Page 1 of 2
LPR Version 4.5 July 12, 1987
fill the width of the page (80 char). For example the
line:
/*- name() -*/
would be expanded into:
/*---------------------- name() ---------------------*/
Such a comment line will also cause a page eject when
fewer than 15 lines remain on the current page, unless
the first character of the name is the underline (5FH).
This feature provides a functional separation on the
printed listing and saves disk space. This option is
automatically invoked for files with .C or .H file
type/extension.
-s Silent mode. Normally a * character is displayed to
indicate the printing on a new page, and LPR waits for
input from the console after the last file.
-v Make normally non-printing characters Visible by
printing the hex and octal representation (HEX/OCT).
-f Put output on a File rather than the line printer.
This option is handy for the obvious case where you
simply want the formatted output on a file. It is also
useful when you want to feed the MS-DOS PRINT command
with output as you use the machine for something else
while the files are actually printing. The output file
is given the same basic name as the input file and the
file type/extension .LPR. It is considered an error to
use a file name with a .LPR extension, as an INPUT
file. This option will automatically set the -s
option.
EXAMPLES
The command line:
LPR -H "This is a HEADING" DOSFILE
will print the file "DOSFILE" with the heading:
This is a HEADING
on each output page.
The command line:
LPR -mmmmnvf ANYTHING.TXT
will format the file ANYTHING.TXT, with a left margin of four
spaces, line numbers, make non-printing characters visible, and
put the output on the file ANYTHING.LPR.
NOTES
TAB characters (9, 09H) are expanded into an appropriate
number of spaces (32, 20H). Tab stops are set every 8 columns.
Paper in the line printer should be positioned ready to
print the first page when LPR is invoked.
Control-Q will abort the printing of the current file.
USER LICENSE

INTRODUCTION
MLABEL (Mail LABEL) is an MS-DOS utility program that will
allow a user to print labels in 5 different character sizes and 5
different character pitches either one or two across. Serial
numbers of one to nine digits can be included on each label. The
different characters are generated by the line printer, MLABEL
simply sends the appropriate printer control characters to the
printer. The default printer control characters are those for
the EPSON FX-85, in EPSON mode, but can easily be changed to
accommodate other printers as outlined under OTHER PRINTERS
below.
The printed output is restricted to fit on the "standard"
15/16 by 3 1/2 inch label. This label can normally contain a
maximum of 5 printed lines, but by using a combination of smaller
line spacing and subscript characters you can comfortably print
as many as 9 lines in this space. A prompt is displayed
requesting user selection of "paper CUT lines" for output to
regular paper rather than actual labels. And a second prompt
allows the user to select either 1 or 2 labels across.
When no file name is given on the command line the user is
prompted for the label text which is entered from the keyboard.
When a file name is given that file is used to obtain the
label text. Since the label text for each label is displayed,
before the prompt requesting the number of labels, MLABEL can
also be used to simply scan the contents of the file.
USAGE
Command line syntax is:
MLABEL [-asNmN?] [file ...]
The optional file name is the input file(s) containing the text
for the labels. The files contain pure ASCII text and can be
created and edited with any ASCII text editor, i.e. EDLIN.
Multiple filenames and wild card characters are permitted.
MENU
When MLABEL is invoked with an invalid option a short menu
will be displayed on the screen. Thus option -- can be thought
of as the option that produces the menu.
OPTIONS
The command line options are:
-a Automatically print one row of labels for each Label
Control Record (LCR) found in the input file(s).
Copyright 1987 (C) by ABACUS Computer Service Page 1 of 7
MLABEL Version 1.6 December 12, 1987
-sN Set the initial SERIAL number value. If the -s option
is not given the special character "#" is simply
output, as is.
-mN Set the Maximum SERIAL number value, (default:
999,999,999). When the SERIAL number value exceeds the
Maximum, the SERIAL number is reset to ONE.
-? Display Print Control Menu ONLY.
-?? Display Print Control Menu for each LCR. This option
is automatically turned on when no file name is given
on the command line, and can be toggled off/on by
giving "?" in response to the "How many LABEL ROWS to
print:" prompt.
EXAMPLE
The following command line:
MLABEL -s123 -m999 xyz.txt
Will produce labels with serial numbers starting with the
value 123, setting the maximum value to 999, using the text from
the XYZ.TXT file.

LABEL CONTROL RECORD
The Label Control Record (LCR) is that unit of data required
to print a label. It consists of the "Label Style" number
followed by the "text lines" for each line of the label. Input
files may contain any number of LCRs, each of which will be
displayed, and the user can then select the number of labels to
be printed for each LCR. A response of "1" can be used to align
the labels in the printer and a larger number can be used to
actually print labels, since MLABEL repeats the prompt for the
number of labels until it receives a response that is simply the
RETURN/ENTER key which is taken to mean, go to the next LCR in
the current file. If multiple files were given, the next file in
the list is processed when the End Of File is reached in the
current file.
The "Label Style" number determines the number of lines and
the print style used to output the "text lines". For values of 1
through 5 the "Label Style" is simply the count of "text lines"
in the LCR. If no printer control codes are included in the
"text line" the given text is simply sent to the printer. Where
the given "Label Style" value is less than 5, the "text lines"
from the LCR are followed by a number of "new line" characters to
bring the total line count to 5 lines.
When the "Label Style" value is 6 the first two "text lines"
are printed as normal standard 10 pitch, pica characters at the
normal 1/8 line spacing. The remaining four "text lines" are
printed in subscript mode at 1/8 line spacing.
When the "Label Style" value is 7 all seven "text lines" are
printed in subscript mode at 1/8 line spacing.
When the "Label Style" value is 8 the first three "text
lines" are at 1/8 line spacing and the last five are at 7/72 line
spacing. All lines are in subscript mode. This "Label Style"
differs from all the others in that it requires a special line
printer control, to keep the output lines synchronized with the
physical label size.
When the "Label Style" value is 9 all nine "text lines" are
printed in subscript mode at 7/72 line spacing.
In all cases, where there is a difference, the larger
character sizes and larger line spacings are at the top of the
label.
If an illegal "Label Style" value is found in an input file
it is arbitrarily set to 5. If an illegal value is given from
the keyboard a message is displayed.

SERIAL NUMBERS
Serial numbers will be generated in the output when two
conditions are met:
1. The -s option is given on the command line.
2. The current LCR contains some "#" characters.
The actual serial number output may contain as many as nine
digits, that is the serial number can range from 0 to
999,999,999. The position and number of contiguous "#"
characters in the LCR determines the position and number of
serial number digits to appear in the output. Leading digits of
small serial number values are always zero. Where the "#"
character is the character wanted in the output, the special
meaning of the "#" character can be negated by preceeding it with
a "\" character. The following LCR lines illustrate some "#"
combinations and the resulting output that should be expected,
when the -s123 option is given on the command line:
<-------- INPUT (LCR) --------> <---------- OUTPUT ----------->
One=# Two=## Three=### One=3 Two=23 Three=123
Four=#### Five=##### Six=###### Four=0123 Five=00123 Six=000123
Too many digits --> ########### Too many digits --> ##000000123

TEXT LINES
Before the first "text line" is printed, the printer is
initialized to print in EMPHASIZED, DOUBLE STRIKE mode. Each
"text line" may contain one or more control codes that control
the output style of that line. Multiple control codes are
permitted, but ALL control codes MUST be at the beginning of the
"text line". The recognized control codes and their meaning is
as follows:
^ - EXPAND, one line ONLY (5 CPI)
< - COMPRESS, DOUBLE STRIKE (17 CPI)
> - Compress, Double Strike OFF
( - ELITE (12 CPI)
) - Elite OFF
{ - ITALIC on
} - Italic OFF
[ - SUBSCRIPT on
] - Subscript OFF
& - Bold (EMPHASIZED, DOUBLE STRIKE)
$ - Lite, bold OFF
* - Center text in the 35 char label space.
The control codes can be given in any sequence except that
the "*" control code, when used, MUST be given last. The control
Copyright 1987 (C) by ABACUS Computer Service Page 4 of 7
MLABEL Version 1.6 December 12, 1987
codes are sent to the printer in the sequence they are
encountered reading from left to right.
In cases where the first character of the "text line"
happens to be a control character the special meaning of the
control character can be negated by preceding it with a "\"
character. Thus the "text line":
\(201) 123-4567
would input the telephone number and void the special meaning of
the "(" character.
MLABEL uses the control codes to determine the current
Characters Per Inch (CPI), but does not check the logical use of
printer control codes. For EXAMPLE the "<" COMPRESS control
code will not put the FX-85 into compressed mode when it is in
EMPHASIZED mode. The two character sequence: "$<" is required to
override the MLABEL default to EMPHASIZED, DOUBLE STRIKE mode.
Except for the special case "$<(" which selects 20 CPI, the
pitch should be returned to "standard" with ">" or ")" before
selecting a different pitch.
The ASCII tab character (value 9) is not treated special by
MLABEL, this means that it will probably not work as expected.
It's best to use the ASCII space character (value 32) to do what
ever line formatting that is required.
MAXIMUM LINE LENGTHS
The maximum number of characters that will fit on a standard
label is a function of the character pitch selected:
PITCH (CPI) MAX CHARACTERS
5 17
10 35
12 42
17 59
20 70
Lines that exceed the maximum values above are silently
truncated.
SAMPLE LCR
The following LCR is an example that can be entered from the
keyboard or read from an input file:
6
^*MLABEL 1.6
( Copyright 1987 by ABACUS Computer Service
)*16 GREEN ROAD
*MINE HILL, NJ 07801
*(201) 584-8201
*SHAREWARE -- COPY and DISTRIBUTE
This LCR will print a label, suitable for a floppy disk,
with 6 lines, each of which will appear centered. The first line
will be in EXPANDED (5 CPI) characters, the second line will be
in ELITE (12 CPI) and the last four lines will be printed as 10
CPI, Subscript characters, at 1/8 line spacing.
Copyright 1987 (C) by ABACUS Computer Service Page 5 of 7
MLABEL Version 1.6 December 12, 1987
The file TEST.TXT, which is distributed with MLABEL contains
the above EXAMPLE and several others. The LCR that begins with
the "text line": ^MAX CHAR TEST 56789 will demonstrate all 5
different character pitches and since all the "text lines" in
this LCR exceed the maximum number of characters per line, it
also serves to illustrate how long lines are silently truncated.
When you want to align the left margin of "text lines" that
contain a mixture of 5 CPI lines and 10 CPI lines it is necessary
for the 10 CPI lines to begin with one "space" character. It's
impossible to get "perfect" left margin alignment between other
pitches.
At the larger character pitches (smaller characters) it is
sometimes desirable to place the text for TWO labels on a single
label. The TEST.TXT file also contains examples of this usage.
When "text lines" containing TWO labels are to be centered, it is
sometimes necessary to end the line with several "space"
characters. The three dots at the end of the "16 GREEN ROAD"
line is an example of this condition, only the "spaces" were
changed to dots here to make them visible.
OTHER PRINTERS
The following information is intended as an aid to those who
use a printer requiring different control sequences than the
EPSON FX-85. All the printer control codes are maintained in a
single table to make modification easier, each control string
must end with at least one NULL byte. The usage, the address in
the .EXE file and the existing strings in HEX are:
USAGE ADRS STRING, NULL terminated
----- ---- -----------------------

NOTES:
1. None of the NOTE strings are directly user callable in
that there is no control code that invokes them. This
string is used for "Label Style" 8 and 9 to turn on
subscript mode and 7/72 line spacing.

MLABEL Version 1.6 December 12, 1987
2. This string it is used for "Label Style" 6 and 7 to
turn on subscript mode and 1/8 line spacing.
3. This string is used for "Label Style" 8 ONLY. It is to
temporarily select 10/72 line spacing for a single
line. Otherwise the printed output registration would
be short by 0.0138 (1/72) inches on each label.
4. This string is used internally to reset the printer to
"normal". It turns OFF, Subscripts, Emphasized, Double
strike, selects 1/6 line spacing, turns OFF Compressed,
Elite, and Italics.
If you alter this table to accommodate a different printer I
would appreciate if you would send a copy of your table along
with the printer make and model to: ABACUS Computer Service.
Future versions of MLABEL will include the data we receive on
other printers, and/or an "install" program.

INTRODUCTION
SEE is a utility program that allows a user to display a
file containing non-printable characters and to make limited
modifications to the input to create a file that most text
editors can handle. An option is provided to strip (Ignore)
printer control sequences, making it easy to create a pure ASCII
file from one containing printer control characters.
Non-printable characters are divided into two classes, those
in the numeric range 0 through 31 are considered CONTROL
characters except for the four characters that normally occur in
text files namely the "newline" character (10, ^J, \n, NL), the
"return" character (13, ^M, \r, CR), the "tab" character (9, ^I,
\t, TAB) and the "formfeed" character (12, ^L, \f, FF). The
second class called GRAPHIC characters is comprised of all the
characters in the numeric range 127 through 255. Some text
editing programs will not operate correctly on a file containing
either class of non-printable characters and many programs take
the control character 26 (^Z) to be an End Of File marker. SEE
offers a mechanism to allow the user to visually observe the
characters contained in ANY file and then make some limited
substitutions that will render the output acceptable to any text
editor.
USAGE
The SEE program usage is:
SEE [-aipstNwNiho] file ...
Where:
-a = show ALL characters.
-i = Ignore ALL non-printing characters.
-p = Ignore ALL Printer control sequences.
-s = Substitute a 'space' for each control character.
-ss = Substitute a 'space' for each non-printing char.
-tN = Set Tab Stop value. (default 8)
-wN = Set output column Width. (default 78)
-h = Show Hex values.
-o = Show Octal values.
When SEE is invoked with no arguments or if invalid options
are given, a short menu is displayed. When SEE is invoked with
one or more file names but no options the contents of each file
is displayed, all normally non-printing characters are displayed
as a series of regular printing characters. CONTROL characters
are displayed in the ^A style and GRAPHIC characters are
displayed as a three digit number surrounded by the <> character
pair.
Copyright 1987 (C) by ABACUS Computer Service Page 1 of 3
SEE Version 1.7 October 9, 1987
OPERATION
The control characters "new line", "return", "tab", and
"form feed" are displayed as normal characters unless the -a
option is given in which case they are displayed as ^J, ^M, ^I,
and ^L. When the -a option is given the length of each output
line is a result of the default column Width setting unless this
default is changed with the -w option.
The -s option can be used to cause SEE to substitute a
'space' character (decimal 32) for each occurrence of a any
control character, if used in conjunction with the -a option the
substitution includes the "new line", "return", "tab", and "form
feed" characters. If the -ss option is given a 'space' character
is substituted for each GRAPHIC character" as well as each
CONTROL character."
The -i option will ignore both CONTROL and GRAPHIC
characters and will override and disable the -s option.
The -p option will ignore printer control sequences and
automatically turns on the -i option. This option uses a table
to determine the number of bytes to ignore after an ESC (decimal
27) character. The default table contains the data appropriate
for an EPSON FX-85 printer but can be easily modified for other
printers as outlined under OTHER PRINTERS.
The SEE output (normally displayed on the screen) can be
redirected to a file. For example the command line:
SEE file >temp
Will place the output in the file named TEMP.
Since SEE does not actually display on the screen but
depends on the DOS to do the actual display the -t option will
NOT affect the actual display. The -t option is intended to
provide tab setting control when SEE calculates how many
characters to permit on a line, and is generally only needed in
conjunction with the -w option. SEE expects both the -t and -w
options to be given with a number, the first digit of the number
may be given immediately after the option letter or may be
separated from the option letter by a 'space', thus the command
lines:
SEE -w45 file and
SEE -w 45 file
Are equivalent, both set the column width to 45.
NOTE
An interesting use of SEE is to look for message strings in
normally unprintable executable files (i.e .EXE and .COM files).
For example the command line:
SEE -i SEE.EXE
Will display some random characters, some of the actual machine
codes, and all of the internal messages.

OTHER PRINTERS
The following information is intended as an aid to those who
use a printer requiring different control sequences than the
EPSON FX-85. All the ESCAPE sequence byte length data are
maintained in a single table to make modification easier, this
internal table, used by the -p option, contains the number of
bytes to be taken as part of an ESCAPE (27) sequence is:
/* 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9*/
/* -------------------------------------------------------*/
/* 00 */ 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,
/* 10 */ 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0,
/* 20 */ 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 2, 0, 0, 0, 0,
/* 30 */ 0, 0, 2, 2, 0, 1, 3, 2, 0, 0,
/* 40 */ 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 2, 0, 2, 1, 1,
/* 50 */ 1, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0,
/* 60 */ 1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 2, 9, 2, 9, 1,
/* 70 */ 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 0, 0, 1, 2, 1,
/* 80 */ 1, 2, 2, 2, 1, 2, 0, 2, 0, 0,
/* 90 */ 0, 0, 3, 0, 0, 0, 0, 2, 9, 0,
/* 100 */ 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 2, 2, 0, 2, 0,
/* 110 */ 0, 0, 2, 0, 0, 2, 0, 0, 0, 0,
/* 120 */ 2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0
This table contains an entry for each of the 128 character
values that could be the byte immediately following the ESCAPE
byte. This table begins at 2A42H in the SEE.EXE file. The zero
values in this table represent "Unexpected ESCAPE sequences", an
error message is displayed if any such ESCAPE sequence is found
in the input. The values 1 through 8 represent the length of the
ESCAPE sequence, excluding the ESC character. EXAMPLE: row 50,
column 1 represents 51 which is the decimal value of the ASCII
character '3' and the printer ESCAPE sequence:
27 51 (n)
The length of this ESCAPE sequence, excluding the ESC
character is two.
The value 9 is interpreted to mean that the next NULL input
byte marks the end of the ESCAPE sequence. EXAMPLE: row 60,
column 8 represents 68 which is the decimal value of the ASCII
character 'D' and the printer ESCAPE sequence:
27 68 (n1) (n2) ... 0 (NULL)
The length of this sequence is signaled by the terminating
NULL (zero) byte.
If you alter this table to accommodate a different printer I
would appreciate if you would send a copy of your table along
with the printer make and model to: ABACUS Computer Service.
Future versions of SEE will include the data we receive on other
printers, and/or an "install" program.
