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.
