This disk contains C-source code and executables for some UNIX-like
software tools for use with MS-DOS 2.x. Briefly:

search.

These constitute a public domain offering of some of the tools found
in the packages "WildCard" and "Ace" marketed by Prickly Pear Software
in Tucson Arizona (602-749-2864), $34.95 each. The full versions offer:
1) Wildcards and paths in all file specifications
2) Fast BIOS display/scrolling/keypad use in BROWSE and PAGE
3) Indirect files (contain filenames to be processed repeatedly)
4) Large model compilation when appropriate
5) More tools: cp mv xref include chmod msort split uniq
cat calc
All are written in Mark Williams C, fast and compact.
Other files on this disk:
case.c -
contains strlower(), strupper()
ftrim.c -
contains trim_fspec()
makearg.h -
command line parser for quoted arguments!!!
xdir.* -
read directory, ffirst(), fnext()...
Most of these programs are filters, meaning that I/O redirection is
sometimes necessary. For example, when using "pr", output goes to the
screen by default. Redirect it to the printer with the statement
pr [options] file >prn
NOTE: 100% IBM compatible users will need to boot up with ANSI.SYS.
