DDATE.COM makes it easy to set the date when starting up MS/DOS.
Just include it in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file and it will
remember the last date you set on disk so that all you
have to do is change the day with the cursor right key
(or advance by a month with the cursor up key or from
Friday to Monday with the (week)End key). If you overshoot,
use the cursor left or down keys to go back. When the date
is right, press ENTER.
DDATE should reside on a writable drive, preferably the
default drive, for proper operation.
DISKMODF.BAS is an improved version of the disk sector modifier.
I've added retries and sped up the interaction.
TIMING.BAS accurately times the execution of short BASIC programs
by interval averaging over 10 seconds.
SPEED411.COM changes the diskette drive step rate to 4 ms which has
worked fine for me but I make no guarantees. (Test
it first on your drives by doing some formats and copies.)
BIGTYPE.BAS is for entertaining the children. They especially like
control-A's.
JUMBLE.BAS permutes jumble words when your brain gets stuck.
PALLETTE.BAS displays the colors possible in 160 by 200 color graphics
(especially good with a composite monitor). To exit and return
the screen to normal, press Break then F9 then F10 (SCREEN 0,0,0).
