                            Library Disk # 16

         1.    This  is  the  Sixteenth  Library  Disk produced by the
    Washington Area  TI-PC Users'  Group. It  is in  the format of the
    last  few  disks  with  no  special  disk format -- just a maximum
    utilization  of  the  available  space  on  the  disk. The disk is
    recorded in an eight sector format so it is usable by DOS versions
    1.xx and 2.xx although some  programs may require the EMULATOR  or
    other files only available in DOS 2.xx.

         2.   There  are two new communication  programs on this disk.
    The first is an excellent program. It is compiled and runs quickly
    and  efficiently.  It  was  written  by  a TI Engineer with the TI
    Defense  Suppression  Group  for  use  with TI-PCs. The program is
    usable with either  internal or external modems and  is capable of
    data transfer in the ASCII or XMODEM protocols. The REMOTE program
    will build  its own dialing directory to put  on the disk. I think
    you will find it an excellent, top quality communications program.

         3.   The second communications program  is TI-TALK. This is a
    modification of the frequently  seen PC-Talk  III program. Ken Zur
    in  St Louis made the  modification and it was  furnished to us by
    Bob Rosenthal in Highland, IL. This is a BASIC program and it also
    creates its own support files on the disk. It has one constraint -
    your communication port must be port #1.

         4.   The remaining files on the disk are utility files.  Most
    of them are excellent and quite valuable. The DIR-X  and the GCOPY
    files require the EMULATOR.

         5.   First of the utilities is a revised version of the CWEEP
    file  manipulation program.  CWEEP214 is  an excellent program for
    manipulating files. It is fast and efficient. I think you'll enjoy
    this one.

         6.   There is a  new Library Manipulation file, LUE.  This is
    used  to  group  related  files  into  a  library  module  or   to
    disassemble  a library module into individual  files. With it is a
    new unsqueeze  file, the ALSQ11. Both are  handy for opening files
    that have been downloaded from a bulletin board.

         7.   For those who use  hard disks with many sub directories,
    the DIRTREE file will draw a map of your tree directories for you.
    The file will be helpful to recall the file structure in  a seldom
    used file.  THIS IS A FABULOUS PROGRAM!

         8.   The  next file on the disk is the GCOPY. This file will
    permit  group  copies  of  several  related  files. This is a less
    useful file   since the same functions can  be accomplished from a
    general file manipulation program like the CWEEP.

         9.   Three last files allow you to blank out your screen when it
    is not in use.  The OFF command works fine on my color monitor. Hit
    any key and the screen comes back on.  MONBLANK and MBLANK2 are more
    sophisticated. Run MONBLANK once and it will automatically turn off
    the screen if there has been no video activity for five minutes.  I
    have not had time to test MBLANK2.
