- PERMUTE, version 1.0
-
- USAGE: PERMUTE filename
-
- PERMUTE was designed to help determine the best order for
- terminate-but-stay-resident (TSR) programs in the AUTOEXEC.BAT
- file. If you have a working AUTOEXEC.BAT file and want to insert
- a new TSR program, PERMUTE will generate variant AUTOEXEC files
- with the new command in each line. The existing commands keep
- their original sequence. If there were, say, seven commands in
- the original AUTOEXEC.BAT file, eight new files (AUTOEXEC.1,
- AUTOEXEC.2, etc.) will be generated. Rename each of these files,
- one at a time, to AUTOEXEC.BAT until you find one that works.
-
- PERMUTE prompts you for the new command string, whose maximum
- length is 127 characters.
-
- Please report bugs or suggest enhancements to Walter Kennamer,
- Compuserve ID 74025,514.

- POPDIR/PUSHDIR
-
- PUSHDIR saves the current sub-directory name.
-
- POPDIR makes the last save sub-directoy name the current
- directory.
-
- This program will save the current sub-directory into the
- envirornment space creating a stack of sub-dir's. Use POPDIR.COM
- to restore the current directory to the top entry in the
- envirornment stack. Just run the program, and it will save the
- current sub-dir. Use the dos SET command to view the list of
- sub-dirs in the environment. -Garland Yoakum-

- REBEEP.COM
-
- Uses continual beeps to summon a person to the computer.
-
- So that persons do not have to sit in front of the computer just
- to wait until they are needed, but can instead do things elsewhere
- and still know as soon as the computer is ready for them. Often
- the operator leaves the computer when a program takes a long time
- to run, but wants to know as soon as it is done. Or sometimes
- part of a job can run unattended, but another part needs operator
- input.
-
- Put this program in a batch file wherever you want the computer to
- let you know that you are wanted back at the computer. REBEEP
- continually beeps until a key is pressed. It uses a short double
- beep, and puts up the message to press any key to continue.
- Functionally it is just a noisy version of the DOS batch command
- PAUSE.
-
- Since the only way to stop it is to press a key, the computer in
- effect uses sound to summon an operator. This way you can leave
- the computer to do other things and not have to keep checking
- back, provided you stay within earshot.
