I just want to inform the few braves who still use (or even work with) any flavor of DOS, that i just released a new version of my DOSUTILS package. I added a new utility to the package and two others were improved.
The new utility INLINE allows to place multi-line data, that is to be fed as input into another program via stdin, directly within the batchfile from which the program is invoked. Users who are familiar with shell programming under UNIX, might recognize a certain similarity with so called 'here documents' serving the same purpose though they are implemented differently.
Please feel free to explore the various (in total seventeen) utilities in the package, which can be downloaded from here: http://www.bttr-software.de/products/jhoffmann/, to see whether some of them might possibly be useful. Further details are given in the two instructon files dosutils.txt and form.txt which are also part of the package. |
