Mon 28-Jan-91: Acquired the following updates to garbo.uwasa.fi
archives from Simtel20.
/pc/pd2/
dirx101.zip Shell for compressed executables, very good. This
version seems to add some pull-down menus.
/pc/pd2
find217.zip A fast file finder. This one is by Bruce Gavin.
see /pc/INDEX
fff34.zip A fast file finder from Jim Derr. Confusingly there
is another fast file finder with almost the same
name. It is /pc/pd2/fff345.zip by Don Williams.
Don's fff includes source code.
see /pc/INDEX
zipzap71.zip A disk editor by Keith Chuvala. Colorful interface.
The author says: "ZipZap 7.0 allows you to view
and/or modify a file or disk sector by sector. The
data from the file or disk sector is displayed in
two different formats: hexadecimal numbers and ASCII
text."
see /pc/INDEX
tinyprog.zip An executable file compressor alike lzexe and pklite
but the compression compares unfavorably. The help
screen could be more informative, and the program
should give a warning when a file is not found. I
didn't have the patience to find out whether
tinyprog can decompress files. The documentation
states: "Makes EXE or COM file programs smaller.
Stops corrupted or patched programs from running.
Makes EXE files as easy to self-configure as COM
files. Encrypts programs to make internal text
unreadable."
