The following list contains a few DOS utilities. These were designed to supplement the existing set of DOS utilities and to help in automating your batch programs.
| AUTOTEST.ZIP | AUTOTEST.EXE is a batch file enhancement utility. AUTOTEST will look for your AUTOEXEC.BAT file and return 4 ERRORLEVELS; 0 = none found, 1 = found no A:, 2 = found on C:, 3 = found on both A: and C:. This allows a batch file update program to only update systems that have booted from the C: drive. |
| CLRBUFF.ZIP | CLRBUFF.EXE is a batch file utility that clears user keystrokes. Batch file writers know this is a MUST HAVE utility. NEVER ask for user input without first clearing the keyboard buffer. |
| CHK_DATE.ZIP | CHK_DATE.EXE is a batch file utility that does just about every kind of date and time testing you could ever want for DOS. Including testing for day of week, month of year, week of year, day of year, leap year, julian date, and many more! Great for batch automation. |
| CNTBOOT.ZIP | CNTBOOT.EXE is a batch file utility that counts the number of times your system has booted. Put this programs in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. It creates a file in the root directory named BOOTED.CNT and stores the number of boot ups in that file. It also reads the file and displays the count. GREAT FOR TESTING, BURN-IN, AND TROUBLESHOOTING! |
| FINDER.ZIP | FINDER.EXE is a fast utility that searches your current path and current directory for the file you specify. This allows you to see which file you are actually running. |
