Okay, here's a catch all posting about files I am looking for but
cannot find. Some of these seem pretty common, but have thus far
eluded me.
Anyone know where I can find or, how I can get the following?
(While reading these, please remember that I don't have ftp.)
A TSR that allows you to view screens that have already scrolled by.
A program which asks for another disk instead of the disk full error while
copying. (Would it also allow you to copy a 600K file on 2 360 disks?)
MORERAM I've heard about this here, and think I would find it useful.
STEVIE or another vi clone?
PCcurses I've heard about this here, and would linke to find it.
A Unix like 'find' 'awk' and 'sed'
A shell other than COMMAND.COM? (This includes 4DOS, but not exclusively)
The Interrupt List. (Yes, the whole thing. I remember asking about this
before, but I still don't have it) (How about the patch program
for applying the diffs posted to update it?)
Lastly,
A news reader/mailer for the IBM XT/AT (Currently I'm using rn and elm
on our HP9000 at work, but I'm not going to be here for ever.)
Let me know about what reader or mailer you are using, and let me know how
you like it, what it's features are, and how I can get it.
Surely you must be able to answer at least one of these questions? (You
are reading this using some sort of news reader aren't you :-)
Usually my postings suffer from lack of answers, so press that Reply key now!!
Thanks (in advance)
Jim Roberts

I have seen, in years past, a program named BACKSCRL which remembered some number of lines of data and allowed scrolling back thru it. It is a TSR. I THINK it is shareware. Don't know where it can be obtained. >A program which asks for another disk instead of the disk full error while >copying. (Would it also allow you to copy a 600K file on 2 360 disks?) I have a version of cp which, when used with the -b (backup) switch will stop and prompt you to change disks. It is available as part of Allen Holub's /util package from M&T PUblishing. (The package comes with source and a book about the tools and the routines used to create them, for around $40 U.S.) >STEVIE or another vi clone? MKS sells a reportedly good vi clone. Custom Software Systems also used to sell a very good one, but they have gone out of business. >PCcurses I've heard about this here, and would linke to find it. PCcurses 1.3 can be had from simtel20, among other places. I foudn my copy on a local PC BBS system a year or so ago. >A Unix like 'find' 'awk' and 'sed' These tools are available from MKS also, along with a whole raft of other unix tools for DOS. Russ Nelson (of Clarkson U.) also has written a good version of find, but I don't know where it is currently available. I got mine from another local PC BBS some time ago. >A shell other than COMMAND.COM? (This includes 4DOS, but not exclusively) I am using Allen Holub's "Unix-like Shell", whose name is "sh". It is inspired by (i.e., not identical to) the unix csh, but offers many useful features for the DOS user, e.g., aliases, history, command-line editing of history list, a real script language (subset of csh) with some nice features, allows use of the proper slash in pathnames (as God intended) rather than the brain-damaged backslash which DOS insists on, etc., etc. It is also available from M&T Publishing for about $40 including source and a good book describing usage and architure. >The Interrupt List.

From article <342@aeshq.UUCP>, by jim@aeshq.UUCP (Jim Roberts): > > Anyone know where I can find or, how I can get the following? > > A TSR that allows you to view screens that have already scrolled by. A TSR called BUFFIT came with the 44 free programs advertised by "The Software Labs" (TSL) recently in Personal Computing. I think the 44 free offer is gone, but BUFFIT is on one of their regular utility disks. Of course it fails when a program writes directly to the screen. And some programs mess up its memory. Otherwise, it works. > STEVIE or another vi clone? A vi clone by Paul Vojta went by on comp.binaries.ibm.pc earlier this year. STEVIE is in SIMTEL. > (While reading these, please remember that I don't have ftp.) If you can get mail to listserv@vm1.nodak.edu you can get most of what's at SIMTEL, including STEVIE. Let me take this opportunity to thank Keith Peterson for correcting my complaint that SIMTEL files are not accessible without ftp. Actually, my gratitude may be premature, as I have not yet succeeded in correctly murmuring all the necessary invocations to get files. But I've got directory listings, and I'm optimistic. M. B.

Virtually anyone with email can get these by communicating with the LISTSERV mailers.

Brilliant Marty I followed the "listserv" instructions Keith Peterson gave as a followup to one of Marty's previous articles and not only have I received directory listings but also several files. It works. The only trap I fell into is that "wild cards" in file names only works with the /PDDIR command, NOT the /PDGET command (I know, this WAS in Keith's article but I forgot to re-read the article when I first requested a multi-file product). A separate /PDGET command is required for EACH file, but you can put multiple /PDGET lines in your mail message (limit - 3 /PDGET requests per day per user). There is a useful file in each product catagory directory with the name of "00-INDEX.TXT" (I think thats right) that gives one liner descriptions of all or most of the files. To request it for the "msdos" "editor" directory, I used: /PDGET MAIL PD:<MSDOS.EDITOR>00-INDEX.TXT TRANSLATE since it is a text file. It arrived as mail in fine shape on a UN*X system. To get the "scanv49" product, I used: /PDGET MAIL PD:<MSDOS.TROJAN-PRO>SCANV49.ARC UUENCODE and it arrived 2 mail messages that I edited together, uudecoded, shipped to my PC, and "pkxarc -e"ed successfully. I am a delighted user of listserv@vm1.nodac.edu. John Rudd, AT&T Bell Labs, ...!att!beehive!rudd
