[Freedos-devel] V8Power Tools install?

At present, V8Power tools (package) installs it’s executables to the %DOSDIR%\V8POWER directory. Do you think that they would be better suited to be installed in the %DOSDIR%\BIN directory. Remember, these are batch file enhancement utilities and must be able to be found by any batch file

[Freedos-devel] V8Power Tools - vecho

Added some stuff to vecho to increase usage compatibility with echo command. Mostly, that is the /s+ and /s- switch. It used to only do /s-. Now, it defaults to /s+ for added compatibility. example: vecho /bGray /fBlack Hello /fRed there /fGreen my /fBlue friend /fBlack . Previously:

Re: [Freedos-devel] V8Power Tools

I know what you mean, but it is worse than you think. The command line parsing routines eat up nearly 1000 bytes in each tool. Some of the tools would only be 100 bytes or so without needing to interpret the command line. However, there are several reasons that it is being made this way. 1)

Hi, You're both right, of course, but I think I know of an easy solution (even though I haven't looked closely at any of this yet, but they do indeed appear to be .COMs). "Ark v1.101 - COM archiver and EXE 2 COM converter" (45822 bytes) ftp://ftp.sac.sk/pub/sac/pack/ark101.zip On Tue, Sep 1,

[Freedos-devel] V8Power Tools

Hello all, I’ve done a little bit of restructuring. The http://up.lod.bz/V8Power precompiled version will no longer include the source files. Those will be maintained over at http://github.com/LoopZ/V8Power Also, I have started making detailed examples on usage of V8PT. They are in both

Re: [Freedos-devel] V8Power Tools

Might be a dumb question - but why creating so many micro tools? Would it be possible to have all of them inside one binary, with behavior adapted with a switch? (a la busybox - like "V8POWER VCURSOR HIDE") ? It would certainly make the toolbox much more space-efficient on big (fat) clusters

[Freedos-devel] V8Power Tools for DOS

I'm sharing this for Jerome. Jerome Shidel has been working on a set of power utilities for DOS batch files. Called the V8Power Tools for DOS, they provide Visual equivalents to many command line tools, such as VCLS, VCHOICE, VECHO .. as well as new power tools such as VPROGRES (display a

Re: [Freedos-devel] V8Power Tools for DOS

That's the build process. :) Each of them is nasm compiling the source for a specific tool. If you download from github, you must build it yourself with the mkV8.bat file. (Running a demo, checks if it is built. If not, it first builds it). If you don't want to compile it yourself, the latest

Re: [Freedos-devel] V8Power Tools for DOS

I tried it out a while ago.The only question I had about it was this:why does it take five minutes making statements such as Grabbing keys...,Revving engine,etc.Other than that,I found it useful. On Sun, Aug 30, 2015 at 1:28 PM, Jim Hall jh...@freedos.org wrote: I'm sharing this for Jerome.
