xdos260b.zip ExtraDOS utilities v2.60 2/2 by Foley Hi-Tech Systems
The documentation says:
"EXTRADOS is a compilation of tools that Microsoft did not include
with DOS. I originally wrote these tools under MS-DOS because I
found the need for them and often couldn't find commercially
available products to provide what I needed. In some cases I had a
program written by someone else that did similar functions but not
everything I needed. In other cases they were tools that I had
found useful or familiar in the Unix world but where not available
in the MS-DOS world so I wrote a version for MS-DOS."

No matter, the important thing is that we have interesting utilities in circulation. If you have already looked at these, it is easier now for you decide whether you need this next update, so all is not wasted. Keith found a newer version, which is now available from our respective archives as: pd1:<msdos.sysutl> xdos263.zip (SIMTEL20) /pc/miscutil/xdos263.zip (garbo) Note that it is 405K. Yes, I know that this rapid succession of updates may be an inconvenience, but I would really appreciate if gentle users would now hold their peace in this matter, and refrain, since this hunt takes a lot of work from us moderators anyway. (But if you have still more recent version, the uploads would be more than welcome to either site). ...................................................................
