Sun 04-Mar-90: My batch file collection is now version (/pc/ts/) tsbat16.arc. - Addpath.bat appending new directories to the path now checks whether the directory exists, and whether the directory already is at path, thus preventing mistakes by the user. I use this batch myself a lot, and since I often make typing errors, I wanted the batch to do the validity checking for me. - Arc2zip.bat converting an .arc file to a .zip file, with comment, has added safeguards against errors and corrupted archives. - Deldir.bat for deleting the files from a directory and then removing the directory, has been rewritten. - There are also new batches in the collection. - There is a harddisk version of the packing methods converter called zoo2arch.bat. It is a .zoo to .zip converter eg for those who prefer tighter .zip files over the binary posting's current .zoo packing method. - If you have been annoyed by the fact that MsDos cannot take more than one command per command line, m.bat is the bacth for you. It is a batch that facilitates giving multiple MsDos commands. Another new batch is d.bat. It gives the directory with sort and generalized name matching. - Also managed to resist the temptation to rename the documentation to the obvious bat.man. - The package is available by anonymous ftp from chyde.uwasa.di as usual.
