Sat 17-Mar-90: Released a new version (/pc/ts/)tsbat18.arc of my batch files collection. - It seems that this bacth collection has become perhaps the most popular of my packages judging from the recent download figures and the comments from users. - Corrected a small bug in c.bat that prevented going back to the root directory. - Built a simple batch lastboot.bat for displaying the date and time of the previous booting. - Also built a new batch virus.bat. This batch makes a directory both prior and after running the suspect program, and gives a warning if the directories differ, and prepares a list of the differences. The batch can be also used by a knowledgeable user for the more benevolent similar purpose of checking what files a certain programs changes. *Flame off* One lesson to be learned from batch programming is that properly used MsDos can be quite flexible. I think it is here to stay for a long time yet Unix and OS/2 notwithstanding. And this does not mean castigating Unix nor OS/2. (Any discussion of this aspect to the proper newsgroup, if you please.) *Flame on* :-) ...................................................................
