Wed 1-Aug-90: I have updated the first of my utility collections to be (/pc/ts/)tsutil30.arc. It contains my (partly experimental) early utilities geared towards directory information, system information, and usage logging. SYSINFO.EXE gives information about your system. I have added a few items, including the recognition of the processor. Also it now has a simple selftest against tampering (or simple viruses). If the file size or the file date have been altered, a warning will be issued, and the program halted. DTETIMAL.EXE is a simple but useful utility for checking (best from autoexec.bat) that your system clock has not failed, by comparing the system clock year and the parameter you give to DTETIMAL.EXE. The program is (hopefully) more compatible than before (the code uses no more Turbo Pascal Crt). Furthermore, DTETIMAL now performs (optionally) a triple (checksum, size, date) selftest against viruses and other tampering. DIRW.EXE is the same as MsDos dir /w with two notable improvements. DIRW dispalys the file attributes (including hidden files), and it can (optionally) be used recursively to list a directory and all its subdirectories. Corrected a bug that made it list a wrong directory under special circumstances. Available by anonymous ftp from chyde.uwasa.fi, Vaasa, Finland, 128.214.12.3. And, if you do not have ftp, this package is being submitted to the binaries. Please stand by.
