/pc/pd2
bx910201.arc    A collection of Finnish BBS lists

see /pc/INDEX (or /pc/stash)
rjmfilec.zip    File Name Completion by Richard Miller.
                Didn't test this one. The documentation says: FILEC
                is Terminate and Stay Resident (TSR)  utility that
                reduces the number of keystrokes needed to enter
                long filenames. When the HOTKEY is pressed FILEC
                reads a partial filename as typed by  the user  and
                attempts  to  complete the filename  by  seaching
                the appropriate  directory.  The completed filename
                is then pasted by FILEC, as if the user had typed
                it.

see /pc/INDEX
ssearch4.zip    Supersearch file and text finder by Thomas Price.
                Even with the many other file finders around, this
                one is worth a look because of its text finding
                facility.

see /pc/INDEX
vram386.zip     Expanded, extended etc memory management for 386. A
                very useful and interesting concept. Unfortunately
                prohibitively difficult to figure out and configure
                individually. But perhaps you'll have a better
                success than I did in experimenting with loading my
                device drivers and tsrs into the high memory with
                this system.

Mon 4-Feb-91  : Acquired the following updates to garbo.uwasa.fi
from a Compart BBS in Finland.
/pc/pd2
isl21.zip       Has an .exe file been compressed with lzexe or pklite.
                This is an update of an earlier version (1.2) which
                only identified lzexe-compressed executables. Else
                moderate, but annoyingly looses the cursor, and you
                have to reset with the mode, or a similar command.
                See /pc/pd2/drx101.zip for a much better alternative.
/pc/sysutil
stack26.zip     Command Line Editor/Enhancer with a menu system.
                This seems quite a useful addition to the collection
                of MsDos command line recall programs like ced and
                dos-edit. The neat trick in this one is that you can
                invoke the stacked commands into a pop-up window and
                recall the commands from there. You can also assign
                commands to the functions keys. The usage of stack26
                takes some figuring out, though. You may already
                have your favorite command line editor, as I do, but
                this one is definitely worth a second look. Besides,
                if you know how to utilize mark-release, you can
                even toggle stack26 with your customary command line
                editor.
