Information about “UTILITIES #2”

For those who program lots of batch commands, FUGUE UTILITIES #2 brings
a disk full of helpful tools including a file editor and a memory
resident DOS handler. This assemblage of eleven programs will make your
programming day easier.

~ ACCEPT takes a string as a parameter and appends the accepted
information to the end of a string for display or redirection.

~ ASK is similar to ACCEPT but is more suited to building a menu system
from batching.

~ YESNO is similar to ASK except it accepts only the letters Y, y, N, or
n.

~ BEEP emits a half second beep to alert you when a long job is
finished.

~ EDITENV helps set an environment variable from a batch file.

~ XQT lets you run nests of batch files within other batch files.

~ EXCLUDE will exclude a list of files from any command by setting
hidden bits.

~ RENAMED changes the name of a directory without the need to move files
out of it, delete it and set it up again under a new name.

~ SYSDATE remembers the last date you booted and is for those without
battery-backed clocks.

~ DOSH is a memory resident DOS handler that keeps a circular queue of
commands and makes them available via arrow commands.

~ ED is a simple editor with WordStar-like commands which handles ASCII
files up to 64K with one window.
