ts@chyde.uwasa.fi (Timo Salmi LASK) (06/26/89)
University of Vaasa, Finland, Sun 4 node number 128.214.12.3 (chyde.uwasa.fi) has a collection of PD and shareware programs which are available by anonymous ftp (file transfer program). This /pc/ts/0news text contains news about the programs in the /pc/ts directory. ................................................................... Prof. Timo Salmi School of Business Studies, University of Vaasa, SF-65101, Finland Internet: ts@chyde.uwasa.fi Funet: vakk::salmi Bitnet: salmi@finfun ................................................................... Sun 25-Jun-89: Updated the first utility package to be tsutil26.arc. Among the updated utilities are directory comparison programs dirs.exe and dird.exe, grapinfo.exe detecting graphics hardware, scopy.bat for copying when only a single diskdrive is available, and stack.exe telling the free available memory. In addition the package still contains date utilities day.exe, dtetim.exe, and so on. There is also the timelog.exe utility for logging program usage, and sysinfo for obtaining information about your computer. The previous version, tsutil25.arc, appeared in spring in comp.binaries.ibm.pc. Fri 23-Jun-89: The third utility collection now updated to tsutlc13.arc. Not much changes this time: The file splitting utility SPLIT.EXE has now an option to direct the split files to a directory other than the directory of the file to be split. The shortwave information in vaasa.inf has turned out to be incorrect. The information has been withdrawn and a separate shortwave information file about Finland is being prepared.

University of Vaasa, Finland, Sun 4 node number 128.214.12.3 (chyde.uwasa.fi) has a collection of PD and shareware programs which are available by anonymous ftp (file transfer program). This /pc/ts/0news text contains news about the programs in the /pc/ts directory (in reverse order). ................................................................... Prof. Timo Salmi School of Business Studies, University of Vaasa, SF-65101, Finland Internet: ts@chyde.uwasa.fi Funet: vakk::salmi Bitnet: salmi@finfun ................................................................... Thu 29-Jun-89: Updates tsutlc13.arc -> tsutlc14.arc and tsutb14.arc -> tsutlb15.arc. It is a (well?-)known fact that MsDos DIR command gives the exact size of a file, not the space actually allocated to it. The latter is (usually) bigger since space is allocated in clusters of bytes. The DIRF.EXE recursive directory utility in the updated third utility collection tsutlc14.arc now has a switch to show not only the file sizes, but the allocations as well. The other utilities in the updated tsutlc14.arc still are DIRINFO.EXE directory information of a disk, DOUBLES.EXE find double file names on a disk, HIDDEN.EXE find all hidden files on disk, READONLY.EXE find all readonly files on disk, SPLIT.EXE split a file into pieces, and ZEROFILE.EXE find all empty files on disk. The other program upgraded in tsutlc14.arc is DOUBLES.EXE where a rare memory allocation error has been amended. I have also updated the second utility collection to be tsutlb15.arc, but here the changes are minor, so if you already have tsutlb14.arc don't bother. Wed 28-Jun-89: Added radiofin.inf by Jari Perkiomaki. This text file gives shortwave listening information about Finland. Jari has promised to keep the information up to date. If you have any queries concerning this particular file, please direct these questions to the email address given in radiofin.inf. Sun 25-Jun-89: Updated the first utility package to be tsutil26.arc. Among the updated utilities are directory comparison programs dirs.exe and dird.exe, grapinfo.exe detecting graphics hardware, scopy.bat for copying when only a single diskdrive is available, and stack.exe telling the free available memory.

Wed 5-Jul-1989: Updated ts2flt10.arc changing it's name at the same time to tsfltb11.arc. This package contains general user configurable filters both for text and binary files, and an "intelligent" detab filter. These have be updated. There are also new translation tables for stripping the high bit from 8bit characters (strip.xlt), and translating 8bit characters into their 7bit look-alike (simul8.xlt).

News from University of Vaasa, Finland, site 128.214.12.3 about updated files in the /pc/ts directory available by anynymous ftp. ................................................................... Prof. Timo Salmi (Site 128.214.12.3) School of Business Studies, University of Vaasa, SF-65101, Finland Internet: ts@chyde.uwasa.fi Funet: vakk::salmi Bitnet: salmi@finfun Sun 2-Jul-1989: Updated again two of the utility packages: tsutil26.arc --> tsutil27.arc and tsutlc14.arc --> tsutlc15.arc. In tsutil27.arc I have tried to make the programs work also with the less compatible PCs. (Technically, I have skipped using direct writes to video memory whenever possible.) In tsutlc15.arc I have added two new date related programs, DTEDIF.EXE and WHATDATE.EXE. The former calculates the difference in days between two dates, and the latter figures out the date +-number of days given by the user. In the DOUBLES.EXE program finding the double filenames on a disk I have added the option of listing only the files which besides having the same names must also have the same size and date&time stamp. I have also added a couple of new switches to the directory program DIRF.EXE. Furthermore, I have changed the file giving the contents of all the packages from tsarc18.txt to tsarc19.txt, because there has now been a fair number of updates. And my thanks again to those who have given me valuable feedback on these programs. If you send me email, please remember to include your email address and your affiliation. This is especially important if you send email from outside of Finland because the return path is not always enough for sending a reply. Here are the contents of the updated packages: Searching Archive: TSUTIL27.ARC - Command-like programs by T.Salmi Filename Comment Date Time CRC -------- -------------------------------- ---- ---- --- DAY.EXE Gives a date in a weekday-format 07-01-89 17:45:06 AD4C DIRD.EXE Directories, different files 06-25-89 18:50:42 7118 DIRS.EXE Directories, same files 06-25-89 18:36:56 42D7 DIRW.EXE As dir/w, but shows file status 06-16-89 14:28:58 563F DTETIM.EXE Displays date and time 01-29-88 21:40:48 6C21 DTETIMAL.EXE Check system clock from autoexec 07-01-89 17:38:48 C38B GRAPINFO.EXE Detects your graphics hardware 06-25-89 19:13:18 C8A8 MAKESURE.BAT Simple command.com virus warning 10-23-88 11:59:08 E7FE PVMKLO.EXE Date and time in Finnish 01-29-88 22:04:14 A66B PVMKLOHL.EXE Check system clock in Finnish 07-01-89 17:34:12 B8A1 RESET.EXE Resets 80 column text mode 08-15-88 07:49:32 AAB0 SCOPY.BAT Copy a file with a single device 06-25-89 20:20:54 BAA0 STACK.EXE Tells available free memory 06-14-89 08:59:22 8BD8 SYSINFO.EXE Information about your gadget 02-06-89 11:50:18 A943 TIMDIF.EXE Difference between two times 07-01-89 20:58:42 482A TIMELOG.EXE For logging program usage 08-14-88 16:48:22 8A51 TSPROG.INF List of PD programs from T.Salmi 06-07-89 00:37:46 9F50 TSUTIL.INF Document 07-02-89 23:00:00 47E3 VAASA.INF Info: Finland, Vaasa, U of Vaasa 06-23-89 08:30:08 88AB ---- ------ ------ ----- 0019 166067 125129 25% Searching Archive: TSUTLC15.ARC - Third set of Utilities, T.Salmi Filename Comment Date Time CRC -------- -------------------------------- ---- ---- --- DIRF.EXE Directory in full, recursive 07-02-89 09:48:20 A074 DIRINFO.EXE Directory information of a disk 06-16-89 15:36:08 C51A DOUBLES.EXE Find double file names on a disk 07-02-89 20:09:28 9FE8 DTEDIF.EXE Difference between two dates 07-02-89 13:12:10 6DFE HIDDEN.EXE Find all hidden files on disk 06-09-89 23:02:58 3587 READONLY.EXE Find all readonly files on disk 06-09-89 23:00:06 2EC8 SPLIT.EXE Split a file into pieces 06-23-89 08:41:50 0EDD TSPROG.INF List of PD programs from T.Salmi 06-07-89 00:37:56 9F50 TSUTLC.INF Document 07-02-89 23:00:00 6043 VAASA.INF Info: Finland, Vaasa, U of Vaasa 06-23-89 08:30:08 88AB WHATDATE.EXE Date +- number of days from now 07-02-89 09:23:08 2190 YES Yes for redirected DOUBLES prog 06-16-89 12:41:44 5BA2 ZEROFILE.EXE Find all empty files on disk 06-09-89 22:55:42 B765 ---- ------ ------ ----- 0013 141134 106420 25%
