My apologies if this comes out as a repeat, but there have been some problems in the Finnish newsfeed. Hence this backup posting. Fri 1-Jun-90: Released version (/pc/ts/)tsbat19.arc of my batch files collection. It includes two new batches. There is a poor man's screen save blank.bat, and there is an extension of the MsDos type command show.bat, which allows the usage of wildcards and multiple file names. You'll decide yourself if there is any usage for a wildcard type. Myself, I do not see any outright, but the batch itself is a very good exercise in batch programming. If you are new to this aspect of MsDos, I think you will learn many useful tricks from batches like this. - Where possible, I have tried to write the batches in a way that they need a minimum about of auxiliary files or such auxiliary programs, which are not part of MsDos (internal or external) commands. - I have rewritten lastboot.bat (recording the previous boot time of your PC) and logrun.bat (recording program usage) so that they no longer need the auxiliary files enter.txt and star.txt, which have been deleted from the new version. - There are some stylistic changes in scopy.bat. Available by anonymous ftp from chyde.uwasa.fi, as usual.
