- CLIP AND SAVE
- -------------
- You can print the text on your computer screen by pressing
- Shift + PrtSc, but there are limitations. (1) The entire
- screen is printed. (2) The screen contents can only be
- printed, not saved to a disk file for later use. (3) Every
- character is sent to the printer, even those with ASCII
- codes less than 32 (control codes) which are interpreted as
- commands by the printer and mess up the printout. Also,
- some printers cannot print the foreign language and graphics
- characters (ASCII 128-255).
-
- Clip and Save is a TSR (terminate-and-stay-resident) program
- that solves these problems. You can clip all or part of a
- text screen, send the clipping to the printer or save it (or
- append it) to a disk file, and filter out unwanted
- characters. For example, you can use Double Directory (see
- below) to View a file and Clip and Save to grab the parts
- you want and save them to a file.
-
- Clip and Save works with LPT1, LPT2 or LPT3 and the standard
- text screen modes (40x25, 80x25, 80x28, 80x43, 80x50). It
- requires DOS 2.0 or later and uses 31K of memory when
- installed. It can be removed from memory without rebooting
- your computer and it is configurable.

- -------------------------
- HAVE YOU READ THAT MOVIE?
- -------------------------
- Although movies are often based on original screenplays,
- many are adapted from literary works: novels, plays, short
- stories and even poems. Have You Read That Movie? is a
- multiple-choice test (368 questions) of your knowledge of
- movies and literature. There are three levels of difficulty
- and three modes of play: single player, two players
- alternate, and two players compete. Each correct answer is
- accompanied by some interesting fact(s) about the movie or
- the literary work.
-
- It requires 256K RAM, DOS 2.0 or later and a CGA, EGA, VGA,
- Hercules, MDA, MCGA display adapter (color or monochrome).
- There is on-line help and the program is configurable. It
- works with or without a mouse.
-
- New DOS and Windows versions of Have You Read That Movie?
- will be released sometime in 1993. These versions will
- include more than twice as many questions and will allow
- complete access to a database of over 1000 films, directors,
- authors and so on. All registered owners of the current
- version of Have You Read That Movie? will be notified of the
- new version and will be eligible for an inexpensive upgrade
- to the new version.

- DOUBLE DIRECTORY
- ----------------
- Double Directory is a complete file and disk manager with
- features not found in similar programs. It displays two
- directories side-by-side. Either can be the source or
- destination for copying, moving, renaming, deleting, viewing
- and printing files. Further, the user can scroll through
- both directories simultaneously and the compare command will
- display and tag the differences between the two (great for
- making backups).
-
- There are also functions for changing the attributes of
- files and for sorting, making, masking and removing
- directories. Single and multiple files can be tagged for
- moving, deleting, etc. The user can shell to DOS, shell and
- run a program, and shell and run a program with Double
- Directory removed from memory.
-
- The display colors and several other options are easily
- configured. With an EGA or VGA, more files can be displayed
- in the 43- and 50-row modes. Double Directory is fast and
- easy to use: the point-and-shoot interface makes it easy to
- tag files and navigate subdirectories; the commands are
- mnemonic and can be accessed via menus, function keys or hot
- keys. It has context-sensitive help. The manual is
- comprehensive with a complete index.
-
- Double Directory requires: 1 or more disk drives; DOS 2.0
- (DOS 3.0 or later recommended); any standard display device
- (MDA, Hercules, CGA, EGA, VGA); 272K. Double Directory runs
- without problems under Microsoft Windows in Standard and
- Enhanced modes.
