EGUTIL53.UPD
01/31/88
Version 5.3 fixes a few problems in v5.2 and adds one new
program. It adds five new programs to version 5.1 (1/87).
*** NEW ***
FILL (v1.1) will fill a region of memory with a given byte.
FILX (v1.0) is an adaptation of my directory program DR that
lists files in order by extension. I find this gives you a
clearer picture of a user area.
READ (v1.0 - new in v5.3) is a random-access file reader that
allows you to jump to any part of a file without having to read
through it sequentially.
SAVM (v1.0) will save a block of memory in a file. Used in
conjunction with M.COM, this comes in handy if your system hangs
while you are using a word processor and you want to recover what
you can from memory after resetting.
WCX (v1.0) is a fast multi-file word count program.
** IMPROVED **
o GKX (v3.90 - new in EGUTIL53) - formerly GKEY2 - has been
considerably enhanced. It no longer has problems with long macro
strings in WS (GKX captures the CONSTAT function, if you really
want to know), saves its macro files in editable ASCII format
just like the MS-DOS key enhancers, and for Kaypro-10 owners, it
contains a number of special functions that allow for undeletion
(!), case change, user change, etc. in word processors like old
WS 3.3 (or 3.0). V3.90 allows reconfiguration of (1) the keyboard
port for non-Kaypro machines, (2) the ESC trigger for the second
set of macros, and (3) the macro buffer size.
o CAL (v1.5) now allows command-line input of date-changing
functions.
o CMDLN (v1.1 - new in EGUTIL53) Uses BIOS SECTRAN function
to read disk(ette)s that use sector interleaving.
o DR (v2.4) now allows sorting by extension (see also FILX),
allows user-friendly DOS-like filemask syntax (.typ = *.typ etc.)
and will operate correctly if you use a switch without a
drive:filename.
o FINREP v2.6 corrects a last (?) bug or 2 in v2.4 and 2.5.
o M v2.3 uses letter commands instead of control keys and adds
a 'B' command to go back one memory page.
o PHN (v3.1). The dialer (which still only works on the
Kaypro with a Hayes-compatible modem) has been modified for
smoother operation. (You no longer have to turn off the modem
when you pick up the phone.) V3.1 corrects a small problem in
v3.0 (failed to rewrite the phone list after a deletion).
o SRW (v1.50) now addresses files up to a megabyte in length
(instead of 64 K). An online help command has been added.

Once again I would like to thank all the users who have
taken the trouble to express their interest in and appreciation
for these programs over the years. For those making the
switch to MS/PC-DOS, I have again included in this library a list
of the programs I have written for the 8086 (EGDOS2.DOC).
