Hi! For those who read mails but do not follow all URLs, and to already give some feedback and plug ads for similar tools, DOSUTILS contains:
> ASKECHO - prompt for user input Note that FreeCOM command.com has a special SET for this. > TIMESTMP - write date/time in a very flexibly configurable format Sounds useful, also combined with PIPESET :-) > RPN - perform integer calculations If you need floating point: The 1024 byte(!) calc387.com will be fun for you. For example Rugxulo's Ruffidea distro contains a copy of the tool :-) > PIPESET - store the output of other programs in environment variables In a limited way, yet another exotic SET feature of the FreeCOM command.com can help you to do similar things. > TEE - split data stream Useful for example to send program output BOTH to a log file and to the screen. An inversely related tool can be MORESYS where you can say "program >more$" instead of eg "program | more" or "program | tee log.txt | more" as in the "more$" device acting like a "console" (no waiting) while pipelines in DOS wait until all output is complete. > TR - translate characters TR tools can be useful for things like upper/lower casing text, changing line break style or breaking ROT13 code ;-) > SELECT - user menu and directory browser Dosemu long ago came with a directory browser called LCD which is about 15kB and has no features apart from letting you go to a dir using the cursor keys when you call it... > FORM - a very versatile dialogue utility for batch procedures > FAM - automated text modification Similar to SED? > PRINTF - an improved echo command Writers of fancy batch scripts will enjoy this. > SCRDUMP - a utility to dump parts of the screen to a file With a hotkey as TSR, I assume? > DUMPENV - show environment and parent's environment (test and debugging > aid) > CGENERR - return with defined error code (test and debugging aid) > GENERR - return with defined error code (test and debugging aid) > INVOKE - invoke program and report the error code it returned (test and > debugging aid) You can use %ERRORLEVEL% in FreeCOM command.com for that, for example: C:\>mode /foobar Unknown device or syntax error! 'MODE /?' shows help. C:\>echo %ERRORLEVEL% 1 Regards, Eric PS: The page also features ETHTOOLS, where you can send and capture ethernet data and make stats, LANSTAT for networking, NTOOL which is yet another incarnation of the very useful NETCAT network cat, RMENU which is vaguely similar to a DOS TELNET server... and many screenshots of tools by Willi Wasser / JHoffmann :-) On 12.06.2011 22:09, Willi Wasser wrote: > I just want to announce a new release of my DOSUTILS package.
