Everything you always wanted to put in an environment variable but
were afraid to ask DOS for...
XSET: The easy way to write efficient batch files.
XSET allows you to put EVERYTHING you want in a variable of the
current DOS environment and use it as if you assigned it the value
with the standard DOS command 'SET'. You will be able to write very
efficient batch files including string manipulation, calculation,...
XSET is the most powerful environment variables manipulation
program you ever saw. It also has a very easy and intuitive user
interface (very close to the DOS 'SET' command). It is not a resident
program; it so cannot interfere with any of your other applications.
XSET is fully compatible with MS-DOS (from 3.30), DR-DOS, NDOS & 4DOS.
XSET has seven major features:
═════════════════════════════
- XSET permits to catch the output of any command (internal or
external) or program and put it into an environment variable.
- XSET has several built-in commands to modify the output of a
program or a string given on the command-line (extract a part of a
string,...)
- XSET has a built-in full floating-point calculation functionality:
You can program incremental loops, input a calculation string and
output the resulting number,...
- XSET can manage variable contents of more than 128 characters (your
path can now be as long as you want)
- XSET has some other built-in commands to give you access to some
system data (date, time, ...)
- XSET has built-in commands to clear all environment or restore a
previously saved one.
- XSET gives you access to high-level user interface input/output
(line-editing, colors, windows, boxes,...).
More than 60 commands to do all what you need.
Remark: latest version of XSET is always available
at SIMTEL-20 pd1:<msdos.batutl>xsetXXX.zip
or at garbo.uwasa.fi:/pc/envutil/xsetXXX.zip
(current version is 3.50)
