This is the FIRST library disc produced and distributed by the TI PROFESSIONALS, the TI-PC Users' Group. To obtain a list of the programs on the disc type . 2. This disc is written in BASIC and machine language. Most of the programs include graphics but many of them can be run on a computer without the graphics board by properly editing the programs. 3. It is recommended that you immediately copy this disc and use the copied disc for your working disc. The COMMAND.COM and BASIC.EXE have been removed from the disc because of the copywrites. Format a new disc with the command. Then copy your BASIC program onto the disc with a command. Then copy this new library disc onto your newly formatted disc by a command. Now your newly formatted and copied disc will start and run automatically. 4. Most of the programs on this disc will run from the menus. The first menu on this disc is "MEN1". Some of the demonstration programs are not on the menus but can be addressed individually with a RUN command. The document files (*.DOC) are instructional support documentation for the Disc (ie the text you're reading now). You access these documents directly from the DOS system by entering etc. The CALENDAR.TXT is a 1983 Calendar in a DOS text file. To run it revert to the DOS system by selecting "8" from the main menu and then enter . 5. The PCMAN demonstration program that is on the disc has been deleted from MEN1. If you would like to restore the selection to MEN1, make the following editing changes to the MEN1 program: a. Load "MEN1". Add lines 243 and 244 as follows: b. 243 COLOR 7 c. 244 PRINT" (27 spaces) 9";:COLOR 5:PRINT" - PCMAN" d. Save this on the disc in "MEN1". 6. The JETSET program is a Boeing 747 Instrument Flight Simulator. The program was originally published in the November 1982 BYTE Magazine. It has been modified from a program written for a TRS-80 computer and therefore has some changes from the documentation as printed in the magazine. There is separate documentation on this disc for the JETSET. 7. I hope you find this disc challenging and interesting! Happy Computing!!

The quality of the pictures will appear better on a monochrome display than on a color display since colors have been used to create shades of coloring. 5. The Command files are the PRT.COM printer control, the SDIR.COM selective directory control, the SCR.COM screen control and the SDEL.COM selective delete control. The printer control is set up for a C. ITOH printer. We're working on a modification for other printers. You can use additional parameters with all of these commands to increase their effectiveness -- ie SDIR /A gives an alphabetic listing of the programs, SDIR /D gives a listing by date, SDIR /X gives a listing by filename extension. 6. The Black Jack program on this disc corrects the problems encountered in the program on the Second Disc. This one is a great program. 7. I hope you find this disc challenging and interesting!

You access these documents directly from the DOS system by entering etc. 6. The JETSET documentation was originally duplicated and provided by hand to members when purchasing the DISC with the program. The problems associated with duplicating and handling the multi-page document prompted this more efficient means of handling the instructional material.

This is the SIXTH library disc produced and distributed by the TI PROFESSIONALS, the Washington Area TI-PC Users' Group. To obtain a list of the programs on the disc type . 2. This disc is written in BASIC and machine language. Some of the programs include graphics but many of them can be run on a computer without the graphics board by properly editing the programs. 3. This disk is designed to run with either the 1.1, 1.25, or 2.11 versions of MS-DOS. The Cribbage program on the Game Menu requires the 2.11 version of DOS and the PC Emulator filter to run in it's current form. (I spent some time trying to trouble-shoot it and never got it to run with the 1.25 DOS. Perhaps some of you smarter members can work it out.) I have modified the automatic execution batch file to load the Emulator file if it exists. Members who have the 2.11 DOS should copy the Emulator file to the new disk as well as the operating files and Basic. Members using an earlier version of DOS will get an error message indicating that the Emulator can not be found but the program will continue to load the remaining part of the batch file and will run all but the 2.11 programs. 4. It is recommended that you immediately copy this disk and use the copied disk for your working disk. The COMMAND.COM and BASIC.EXE have been removed from the disk because of the copywrites. Format a new disk with the command. If you have 2.11 DOS copy the PC Emulator onto the disk with a command. Then copy your BASIC program onto the disk with a command. Now copy this new library disk onto your newly formatted disk by a command. Your newly formatted and copied disk will now start and run automatically. 5. Most of the programs on this disk will run from the menus. The execptions are the four command (.COM) files and the three document (.DOC) files. If you tried the SDIR.COM as suggested in paragraph 1 above you are familiar with it's use. The SD2.COM will create a sorted directory similar to SDIR.COM but it will pause when the display is full and it will list sub-directories and "hidden" files in lower case letters. (CAUTION! When SD2 is used with DOS 1.1 or 1.25 the volume label and remaining space are incorrect!) 6. The READONLY.COM file will change a file on a disk to a "hidden" file thus permitting the file to be read but not changed or deleted. The NORMAL.COM file reverses this process and makes a "hidden" file normal so it can be changed or deleted. Format for use of either file is: "READONLY B:NAME.EXT". The VOLSER.COM file permits adding or altering a disk volume label. This is used only with DOS 2.11 which permits labeling disks. (The command file must be on the disk in the default drive when using them but they can operate on files in either drive.) 7. The three document files are support documentation for the Disk. You access these documents directly from the DOS system by entering etc. The DIRALPH.DOC is new to this disk. It is an alphabetical listing of the directories of the first six User Group Disks.

This is the SEVENTH library disk produced and distributed by the TI PROFESSIONALS, the TI-PC Users' Group. To obtain a list of the programs on the disc type . 2. This disk is written in BASIC and machine language. Some of the programs include graphics but many of them can be run on a computer without the graphics board by properly editing the programs. 3. It is recommended that you immediately copy this disk and use the copied disk for your working disk. The COMMAND.COM and BASIC.EXE have been removed from the disk because of the copywrites. Format a new disk with the command. Then copy your BASIC program onto the disk with a command. Then copy this new library disk onto your newly formatted disk by a command. Now your newly formatted and copied disk will start and run automatically. 4. Most of the programs on this disk will run from the menus. The exceptions are the SDIR.COM and the SDEL.COM, the support files (.GR*, .DAT and .SUP), the "Template" files (.VC) and the document files (.DOC). If you tried the SDIR.COM as suggested in paragraph 1 above you are familiar with it's use. 5. The document files, DISC.DOC and ABSTRACT.DOC are instructional support documentation for the Disk (the text you're reading now). You access these documents directly from the DOS system by entering etc. 6. The DRAWFONT.DAT and DRAWFONT.SUP are required to support the DRAWFONT.BAS program. These programs are all similar to the TIDRAW and TIFONT programs that were on previous disks but ARE NOT INTERCHANGEABLE. Be sure to keep these programs together when moving them to other disks. The DESERT.* files on this disk are sample picture files created by the DRAWFONT program and are accessed from the DRAWFONT program. They are not required by the program (to develop other pictures) but are provided for example. 7. New on this disk are several "Template" files. A "Template" program is one that is designed to run "piggy-back" on another program, usually a spreadsheet. By designing a Home Budget Program, for example, to run on a spreadsheet the program can be shorter, simpler, and cheaper. The template programs on this disk were designed to run on a Visicalc spreadsheet with an IBM computer. Few of our members have this combination -- however, the LOTUS 1-2-3 spreadsheet has the capability of transforming Visicalc files to Lotus files. Other spreadsheets may also have this capability. Therefore, if you have Lotus, you can transform these *.VC files to Lotus *.WKS files and use them on your Lotus program. None of the programs I have seem to be of great value but the demonstrate another capability and provide some examples. I have included them primarily for educational purposes. Note that the FEDTAX.VC program is for 1983 taxes and the SINGLE.VC is for 1981 taxes. 8. I hope you find this disk challenging and interesting! Happy Computing!!

New on this disk are two LOTUS 1-2-3 "Template" files. A "Template" program is one that is designed to run "piggy-back" on another program, usually a spreadsheet. By designing a Home Budget Program, for example, to run on a spreadsheet the program can be shorter, simpler, and cheaper. The template programs on this disk were designed to run on a LOTUS 1-2-3 spreadsheet. The computer is unimportant with the LOTUS worksheets. 7. There are several command utilities on this disk. The COLOR.COM files are short files that permit you to change the color of the text on a color monitor to one of four choices - on a black screen. The two RPT*.COM files allow you to turn the "repeat" function of the keyboard on and off. The DUMP utility permits you to view the contents of a binary file in hexidecimal and ASCII format similar to the output of the DEBUG utility. The difference is that with this DUMP facility you display the contents of a file whereas the DEBUG load a program into memory and then displays the contents of memory. There is also documentation for the DUMP program on this disk. 8. The MINICALC.BAS program on this disk is another excellent program. It is a miniature spreadsheet with eleven columns and twenty-two rows. It has much of the power of large spreadsheets, just smaller. There is documentation for the MINICALC program too. There are several "bugs" still in the program -- a challenge to some of you programming experts. The program does NOT display the cursor position highlighted on a cell as the documentation states. I expect that is because it was designed for an IBM PC. Also, the worksheet and the graphs will not print. You can save your work on a disk file and you can display the worksheet and the graphs - but they won't print out at this time. How about a hand from some of you experts out there? A word of caution. The MINICALC program is intolerable of syntax error. You MUST address cells by a three character designation, one letter and TWO numerals. Thus, the upper left cell is A01, not A1. 9.

This Disk is very limited in scope with three basic types of programs. There are some games but they are all good, another Black Jack, a Football game, and a Killer Maze that makes you the white rat! There are also three "educational" games, the first we've had. They are all excellent. First is HANGMAN, the word spelling game. Second is a US geography lesson -- a map of the US that randomly selects a State and quizzes you on the Name, the Capital, and the abbreviation. Finally there is a program that allows you to generate your own Flash Cards for drill on spelling, vocabulary, math, language, or any other feature you want to address. The Flash Cards can be easily made, saved, recalled, edited and tested. They all use good color and graphics and are easy to operate. 7. The final type is the EPISTAT set of statistical programs. It appears to be an excellent package that will be of great value to those looking for statistical programs. Unfortunately, like so many of our programs this was originally written for the IBM and at the present time requires DOS 2.11 to run. There appear to be additional problems with the program since it disables some keys (all function keys) and appears to affect the DOS operating system although perhaps not too seriously. I have noticed that the "DIR" directory command does not function normally after using these programs but it is easy to re-boot before you go on. I thought the value of these programs was great enough to justify distribution before they are fully "patched" up. If any of you find solutions to the problems let me know and I will be sure to get the information into the Newsletter. 8. I hope you find this disk challenging and interesting! Happy Computing!!

This is the TENTH library disk produced and distributed by the TI PROFESSIONALS, the Washington Area TI-PC Users' Group. To obtain a list of the programs on the disk, type or use the selected directory program on this disk by typing . 2. This disk is written in BASIC and machine language. Some of the programs include graphics but many of them can be run on a computer without the graphics board by properly editing the programs. This disk will be especially useful for members with HARD DISK DRIVES and those using DOS 2.11. 3. It is recommended that you immediately copy this disk and use the copied disk for your working disk. The COMMAND.COM and BASIC.EXE have been removed from the disk because of the copywrites. Format a new disk with the command. If you are using DOS 2.11 also copy the EMULATE.COM file to the disk. Then copy your BASIC program onto the disk with a command. Then copy this new library disk onto your newly formatted disk by a command. Now your newly formatted and copied disk will start and run automatically. 4. Many of the programs on this disk will run from the menus. The exceptions are the FINANCES programs and the utility programs. 5. The document files, DISC.DOC etc, are instructional support documentation for the Disk (the text you're reading now). You access these documents directly from the DOS system by entering etc. 6. There are some excellent graphic demonstration programs on this disk with almost photo quality resolution. There is also a new game program, an NFL football predictor program that does as good as the newspaper picking winners. If you move the NFL-PIKS or graphic programs be sure to move the support programs, too. 7. The FINANCES set of programs is an extensive set of personal financial files combined in one. It will keep a check record, keep investment records for you and retain expenditures in budget categories. This one requires DOS 2.11 and the EMULATOR to run. There are four data (.DAT) files that are used by the program so it is best to transfer this set of programs to a separate disk where you will have adequate room for the data files and to minimize the risk of losing other data. Because of the way this program operates it continually accesses data on the disk resulting in slow operation and drive noise. To minimize the operation of the disks and to speed the operation of the program, I have set this one up to run from a RAMDISK, the drive "G". To use the program in this mode, prepare a new application disk with the command. Then copy the EMULATE.COM and RAMDISK.DEV files to the new disk. Then from this disk copy the CONFIG.SYS, FINANCES.EXE, CHECKING.DAT, INVCAT.DAT, INVEST.DAT, and PURGRP.DAT files. Finally, from this disk, copy the AUTOEXEC.FIN file but change the name of it to AUTOEXEC.BAT so that it will start the disk automatically. (You do this by the command .) 8. When completed, the disk will boot the system and set up the RAMDISK and the EMULATOR then copy the Finance data files to the RAMDISK and start the program. The FINANCE program has a code word protection on it. It requires a nine character code word and gives you three chances to get it right. Right now the code word is "COST PLUS", all upper case and with one space in the middle. It is particular about the exact format of the code word. CAUTION! Remember, you are working in memory and all of your data will be lost if you don't copy it before turning the computer off. The AUTOEXEC.BAT file will automatically save your new data back to the disk when you exit the Finances program. After you exit the FINANCES program you will get a "G>" prompt and see the AUTOEXEC.BAT copying your DAT files from G: back to A:. (I have set aside 79 K bytes for the RAMDISK. It will probably run with about 20 K if you have 128 K or less. Change this in the CONFIG.SYS file if you have trouble. After using this program you may have to reboot the system to get rid of the RAMDISK for other programs that use a lot of memory.) 9. There are three other files on this disk. The SDIR.COM is another format of a Selected Directory. It is especially useful since it can be displayed it two, four, or six columns and has a PAUSE mode. This requires DOS 2.11 to run. 10. The WHEREIS file will be especially useful for members with a Hard Disk. It's purpose is to locate a file and it will return the path and filename. The greatest use will come is searching for a file you know exists but have forgotten what sub-directory it is in. The command can be used with "wild cards" and will return the paths for all files that match the filename. 11. Finally, this disk contains replacement BACKUP.EXE and SYS.COM files for the DOS 2.11. The BACKUP.EXE file is used to make backup floppies of the data stored on a hard disk. The original BACKUP file on the 2.11 disk frequently malfunctions losing data WITHOUT ANY WARNING TO THE OPERATOR. This new BACKUP file has been supplied by Texas Instruments as a replacement for the file of the same name in the initial distribution of DOS 2.11. If you have a hard disk and use the 2.11 BACKUP function it is important that you replace the original file with this file. The new SYS.COM is also a replacement for the original file furnished with the DOS 2.11. This new SYS.COM file will permit you to put the DOS 2.11 operating system on the LOTUS 1-2-3 and other program operating system disks. TI will include these two updated files in the next version of DOS (DOS 2.12) but have provided it to us to get the corrected files into users' hands. 12.

This is the ELEVENTH library disk produced and distributed by the TI PROFESSIONALS, the Washington Area TI-PC Users' Group. To obtain a list of the programs on the disk, type . 2. This disk is written in BASIC and machine language. Some of the programs include graphics but many of them can be run on a computer without the graphics board by properly editing the programs. This disk will be especially useful for members using DOS 2.11. 3. It is recommended that you immediately copy this disk and use the copied disk for your working disk. The COMMAND.COM and BASIC.EXE have been removed from the disk because of the copywrites. Format a new disk with the command. If you are using DOS 2.11 also copy the EMULATE.COM file to the disk. Then copy your BASIC program onto the disk with a command. Then copy this new library disk onto your newly formatted disk by a command. Now your newly formatted and copied disk will start and run automatically. 4. Many of the programs on this disk will run from the menus. The exceptions are the PC-Yearbook (Desk Calendar) program, the Dow Jones Market Rallies and Declines LOTUS template program and the documentation files. 5. The document files, DISC.DOC etc, are instructional support documentation for the Disk (the text you're reading now). You access these documents directly from the DOS system by entering etc. 6. This disk, as disk TEN did, contains replacement BACKUP.EXE and SYS.COM files for the DOS 2.11. The BACKUP.EXE file is used to make backup floppies of the data stored on a hard disk. The original BACKUP file on the 2.11 disk frequently malfunctions losing data WITHOUT ANY WARNING TO THE OPERATOR. This new BACKUP file has been supplied by Texas Instruments as a replacement for the file of the same name in the initial distribution of DOS 2.11. If you have a hard disk and use the 2.11 BACKUP function it is important that you replace the original file with this file. The new SYS.COM is also a replacement for the original file furnished with the DOS 2.11. This new SYS.COM file will permit you to put the DOS 2.11 operating system on the LOTUS 1-2-3 and other program operating system disks. TI will include these two updated files in the next version of DOS (DOS 2.12) but have provided it to us to get the corrected files into users' hands. 7. Of special interest on this disk is a compiled version of a Desk Calendar program, the PC-Yearbook. You can access this program directly from the DOS by entering . You will probably want to move this program to another disk though, since the program generates calendar and memo records in additional files. You will need to have the program on a disk with some open space and also, it must NOT be write protected. This compiled program runs quite fast and effectively and is one of the more efficient Desk Calendars I've seen. 8. In the Utility area there are two versions of a simple, Modem Communication program. DIALER1 is for use with TI-PC's with INTERNAL Modems and DIALER2 is for TI-PC's using EXTERNAL Modems. These programs are written in BASIC (they were published in the July, '84 issue of TI Professional Computing) and may be accessed from the Utility Menu. Be sure to read the special documentation (DIALER.DOC) to ensure you have the right set-up for your Computer-Modem configuration. 9. The Business Menu and the Games Menu also have interesting collections of programs. As tax time rolls around, the Accelerated Cost Recovery System program may be of special interest to some members. 10. I hope you find this disk challenging and interesting! Happy Computing!!

Some of the programs on this disk will run from the menus but there are a large number of programs on this disk directly accessable from the DOS operating system. The Dow Jones Market Rallies and Declines and the FEDTAX84 LOTUS template programs, the Chess game, the COVER, IPLTIME, PAGE, CLEAN, and ZDIR command programs and the documentation files all run from DOS directly. 5. The document files, DISC.DOC etc, are instructional support documentation for the Disk (the text you're reading now). You access these documents directly from the DOS system by entering etc. 6. This disk has two more LOTUS templates. One, the DJUPDWN.WKS is an improved program of the Dow Jones Rallies and Declines program that was on disk Eleven. The other, a template to assist you in preparing your 1984 Federal Income Taxes was modified from a 1983 program that we just recently acquired. This 1984 update is a result of the excellent efforts of our own John Wheeler. Although it will be late for some people, you can use it to check your taxes and we will hope to have next year's version ready much earlier. 7. There are also several good games on this disk. The Chess game is a "compiled" version that runs quite fast. To play this one you move the cursor with the cursor keys and pick up and put down the chess pieces with the INS and DEL keys. From the game menu there are a Craps game, Bowling for 1 to 4 players, Tic-Tac-Toe, MasterMind and a revised version of the JETSET instrument flight simulator. The Bowling uses the key to roll the ball but it takes some hand-eye coordination. The JET II program is an update which has added more color, instructions in the heading and a partial map of the flying area thanks to member Dave Perkins. Dave did such a good job that I also added more stations to his list and moved the controls to the Cursor Keypad now. This, like some of our other programs, get better as other members offer modifications. 8. In the Utility area there are several new and excellent programs. Most of these programs have their own documentation on the disk. The IPLTIME program allows you to reset the computer clock date and time if you desire. This might be useful to put a specific date or time on a program in the directory. 9. I hope you find this disk challenging and interesting! Happy Computing!!

The change is made in response to several suggestions and is being introduced on a trial basis. We would like to get feed-back from you, the users, about how you like the disks prepared. The first Twelve UG Library Disks were designed to be applications disks. They were designed so the individual user could put the operating system on the disk and then run the disks selecting most of the programs from menus. As the size of the library has grown, it is sometimes awkward to find the right disk for the program you want. Additionally, some members are using Winchester hard disks and find it more difficult to use the programs. Many members want to consolidate their Games on one disk, Financial programs on another, Utilities on another and so forth. Since they were tailoring their software library to their own taste, the format of the disks was not important. This disk has no menus and no room on it for the operating system. It is merely a collection of files -- over 300 K of them. This allows more data to be placed on the disks and will permit individuals to extract and use the programs that they desire. You will have to load BASIC of course to run the .BAS files and you may need to load the Emulator for some of them, too. The disk has been formatted with eight sectors so that users of early DOS versions can use them too. There are some excellent Utilities on this disk. The CLSG, FORECOL and BACKCOL were written for the TI-PC and therefore operate especially well. There are also several graphic demonstration programs on the disk. You will find that the BASIC versions of these programs run painfully slowly. Compare the compiled (.EXE) versions' speed with the BASIC versions' speed. You will also note that the compiled version is much larger since it has to contain the compiler library module, too. However, it is not a lot larger than the BASIC versions with the BASIC.EXE interpreter on the disk, too. The programs on the disk are identified in the CONTNTS.TXT text file. It can be accessed, like this Disk Documentation, with a command. Please let us know how you prefer your disks -- like this, like the first twelve, or perhaps some other format.

This disk, like the last one, is in a new format without menus and without the space on the disk to accommodate the operating system and the BASIC interpreter. Users will have to "boot" their computers with an operating disk and, if BASIC is required, load the BASIC interpreter from another disk. Some programs may require the DOS 2.xx EMULATOR filter. This disk has three principle programs. They are the TERM communications program, the BASIC Professor, and the PC-Touch typing tutor. There are other assorted programs and two files about the Disk -- The DISK.DOC and the DISK.DIR. The TERM communications package includes the TERM.EXE and the TERM.DOC documentation. The program also generates supporting files. The documentation for this program is quite complete as is the program itself. This software is an excellent complement to the very simple "DIALER" program on one of the earlier UG disks. It is a highly complex and sophisticated communications program but, since it is compiled, it runs quickly and efficiently. It is very user friendly and is tailored after the menu format of the TI TTY Communications software. The TERM program permits menu selection of communications parameters for each number called. The parameters can be stored for future use. All functions are easily selected with function keys and key prompts are listed across the bottom of the display for convenience. One of the strong points of the program is that it supports the XMODEM format for binary file transfer. This permits uploading or downloading binary files from bulletin boards, etc. I haven't used the TERM extensively yet but I have had some problems downloading XMODEM files. The downloading works fine and the files captured also work fine -- but I can not get out of the XMODEM receive mode short of aborting the program. I don't know if the problem is mine, the modems, or the programs. Be alert to a possible problem in escaping from a download. I have also found that the TERM does NOT clear the function key buffers. Therefore, if you have used the function keys with a previous program you need to "reboot" before loading the TERM. If you do not, the function keys used during the TERM program will not necessarily perform the TERM functions listed at the bottom of the screen. For members who are just getting started in PC communications, try this program out before you spend money on a commercial communications package. I think this may answer all of your needs. The second major program on this disk is the PC-Professor. In this program the PC-Professor is teaching Beginning BASIC programming. This is an excellent hands-on training program for users that have little or no experience in writing programs in the BASIC language. It is well written and is an excellent training aid. The use of graphic demonstrations makes it fun to learn programming skills. Even the experienced programmers will enjoy the presentation. Most of the files on this disk support the PC-Professor. To initiate the program "boot" your system and load the BASIC Interpreter. Then put this disk in the default drive and run "INTRO". The rest is all menu selected from within the program. If you want, you can set this up on a disk with the operating system and the BASIC interpreter and include a batch file to automatically start the program. This program also generates a configuration file after you answer the question of whether you are using a color or a monochrome display. After this point you can put a write protect tab on the disk if you desire. The PC-Professor has one major problem. This program was originally written for the IBM PC and, as such, has a keyboard exercise that is designed for the IBM keyboard. The implementation of this part of the program looks into the RAM memory to determine when a specific key has been activated. Because of the very different keyboards on the two computers, there is little about the keyboard acclimation drill that is of value. The rest of the program is excellent and is all pertinent to TI PCs. The third major program on this disk is the PC-TOUCH typing tutor. This program calls up text one line at a time from a file called PC-TOUCH.FIL and you type what you see. The program times your drill and counts the errors and presents you with a percent accuracy figure and a words per minute count. The included text would not be appropriate for beginning typists but you can substitute your own training material if you would like. You will need to rename the current PC-TOUCH.FIL to some other name and make your new file name PC-TOUCH.FIL. Any text file is suitable for this use. You can generate such a file with the EDLIN text editor or with a word processor. If you use a word processor you will need to "export" the file to a text file and change the name for use with the PC-TOUCH. Also on the disk are two more versions of MS-DOS File Manipulation Programs. These programs are called VFILER Version 2.8 (VF150.COM) and "Z" (Z.EXE). The Vfiler doesn't have documentation on the disk but does have a help (?) function that appears adequate for normal use. The "Z" also appears to have adequate instructions with the program. These programs are similar to the CWEEP File handling program. Try them all then take your choice. In the Utility category there is also a file (CLIP.COM) that changes the volume name on a Disk and a file (ASCII.EXE) that prints out the ASCII (text) characters in a binary file. This allows you to scan a COM, EXE, BAS or other binary file for instructions, etc that are in ASCII text format. Finally there are three independent BASIC files. The first, SPFX.BAS produces varied sound effects -- of varied value. The other two, CRAZY8S.BAS and DEPT.BAS are good games.

This is the Fifteenth 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 is one game on this disk, WILDCAT.BAS. This is a BASIC file and requires the BASIC Interpreter to run (BASIC.EXE). The game is an oil well drilling speculation game. It uses color and graphics but the graphics are character graphics and should run all right on all TI PCs. 3. There is a demonstration file of the PROLOG Operating System on the disk with it's documentation. It is anticipated that this program will be of little interest to most users but is provided for information. 4. There is a BASICAID Utility file on the disk. This file permits manipulation of BASIC files with a capability to list variables, cross reference variables and GOTO statements, etc. It is not usable with all BASIC files but is a great assistance where it is operable. 5. The remaining nineteen files are concerned with the major program on the disk, the Stock Market Graphing program. This excellent program permits tracking up to 111 individual stocks through up to 90 trading periods, either days or weeks. The program requires keyboard input of the data but then will permit viewing the tabulated input data or a graphical presentation of the data for each stock entry. The graphical presentation requires the graphics board and to print out the graphs requires DOS 2.xx. 6. The SM graphs present daily (or weekly) plots of high/low/close prices on the upper plot with the corresponding volume plotted on the lower scale. Additionaly, you can choose two running average periods which are also plotted on the price graph. The program also prints a title block on the graph including the stock name, ticker symbol, trading exchange, price to earnings ratio (current), yield (current), three to five years total estimated return, the number of days or weeks plotted and the date of the rightmost (latest) period recorded. 7. You must have a graphics board installed to display the graphs. If you have a color monitor the graphs will be displayed in color. If you are using DOS 2.xx you can print a copy of the graph using the print screen device (PRTSCRN.DEV) contained in the DOS 2.xx. 8. To run the SM program you will need a special computer setup. I suggest you prepare a separate AM application disk. To do so, format the disk with the "/S" option to put the operating system on the disk. Then copy the PRTSCRN.DEV file from the DOS disk to the new disk. Next copy BASIC.EXE to the new disk. Next copy all the SM related files (including the CONFIG.SYS file) to the new disk. This will install the print screen device in the computer when you boot the disk. 9. The SM program is menu/prompt driven. It is easy to operate and does not permit an out of range entry. (You can't put a higher price in the daily low price or daily close price than you put into the daily high.) To print a copy of a stock's graph you select the "P" for print. You will be prompted to turn the printer on. Then you will be prompted to hit any key -- which will clear the prompt line form the screen so that it is not printed with the graph -- and to hit the ALT-SHIFT-PRNT combination. This is the print screen driver command to print both text and graphic planes. It takes about 2 minutes to print each graph. Each graph must be called up and printed separately. When the printer is completed depress the "form feed" key ON THE PRINTER to set up for the next graph. Press any key on the computer to return the screen prompts and continue with the SM program. 10. To center the graph on the page, place the top of the page under the rollers of the bail on the printer. The SM program assumes that the SM System Disk will be in the A: drive and a formatted Data Disk will be in the B: drive. If your Data is to be saved some place else you will need to make a change in the four SM operating files -- the four files with a ".BAS" extension name. In file "SMCONFG1.BAS" change line 1120 so that 'DDEV$="B:"' is changed to read the correct location of the Data Files. In the other three files make the same change to the variable string definition 'DDEV$="B:"' in line 1170.

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. A very useful patch to BASIC.EXE is provided by the BASIC-UP command. It modifies the BASIC.EXE program in order to let you read protected programs. See the BASIC-UP.DOC file, and please, only play with a copy of BASIC.EXE. 10. 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.

Area TI-PC Users' Group Library Disk # 17 1. This disk, like the past several, is filled to about 320K out of some 322K available on an eight sector formatted disk. The disk has one application program, another good communications program, and the remainder of the files on the disk are various utility programs. Several of the utility programs will be of special interest to users of Winchester Hard Disks. 2. Most of the programs on the disk have their own documentation in a .DOC file. I think the only exception is the FDATE.COM. The FDATE program will change the date and/or the time associated with a file on the disk. Most computer files are assigned a date and time at the time they are created depending on the date and time stored in the computer. This program permits you to change any of these date/times to anything you desire. Type to get the format prompt. BE CAREFUL! There is no indication on the display that it is working -- until you look at your directory and find it has made the changes. 3. The Communications Program is the TERM Version 3.0. We had the Version 2.6 on disk 14. Many of you have tried it but some had encountered problems with it as I had. The new Version 3.0 is changed in several ways and appears to run very well. This excellent public domain comm program was written for the TI-PC. It can handle normal ASCII teletype communications with bulletin boards, on-line services such as CompuServe and the Dow Jones News Retrieval and will handle binary transfer of files with the XMODEM protocol. Anyone contemplating the purchase of a MODEM should certainly try this program (and TERMINAL on disk # 16) before investing money in a commercial communications program. I think you will enjoy it. 4. As I noted earlier, some of the Utilities on this disk are especially useful for users of Hard Disks. These are the TREEDIR3, the DIRTREE, and the DPATH30. The TREEDIR3 combines the DOS TREE and DIR commands to help you locate files. The DIRTREE writes a diagram of the directory organization on the display. The DPATH30 permits writing to a file NOT in the current directory. 5. The ARC program is an excellent file compression program. It uses three possible choices in compressing files to minimize space used on a disk. The program will analyze the file and select the best choice of compression program for the particular file. It will also expand the file to the original format from any of the selected compression methods. This would be an excellent selection to use to compress documentation files to reduce the storage space of these files that you seldom need to access. It will cut the space required for document files about in half. 6. The ND and SDISK-21 are new directory utilities. These add to the large number of directory utilities we already have. The SDISK-21 will sort the directory AND WRITE THE NEW SORTED DIRECTORY TO THE DISK. It does not rearrange the files, just the directory. 7. The GCOPY is a group copy utility that will permit moving a number of selected files at a time. The BOOT program supposedly expands the working environment space in RAM. 8. It is recognized that all users are not interested in all of these Utilities and we have had a large number of duplications in performance. I would recommend that you scan the documentation and perhaps try each of them to see if you like the way it works. I use several and find them quite handy. It depends on how much file manipulation you do with your computer. We are trying to provide a good selection of the available Public Domain programs. I hope many of you are finding them useful.

Area TI-PC Users' Group Library Disk # 18 1. This disk, like the past several, is filled to about 320K out of some 322K available on an eight sector formatted disk. The disk has an excellent full-screen, reverse Polish (HP) style computer calculator. It also has an excellent IQ builder program that will drill the user in numerical and word skills. There are several excellent BASIC Graphics programs and finally some good utilities. 2. Most of the programs on the disk have their own documentation in a .DOC file. Many of the programs are grouped in sets so one documentation file applies to several disk files. 3. The computer calculator is designed to run on call-up or to reside in memory and run quickly at any time. The version designed to run in background (TS10C.COM) has some problems. I suspect it is running into memory allocation problems and needs some skilled "adjustment". The call-up version works well and if you enjoy working with the reverse Polish style calculators you will enjoy this one. Be sure to read the documentation first. It isn't hard but most commands are designed to be used with the Shift-Ltr or CTRL-Ltr combination. If you have the CAP LOCK on, the Shift-Ltr commands are available with just the Ltr but you may get confused. Also, with the CAP LOCK on the shift-sign and exponent commands are not available - they're lower case letters. 4. The BASIC Graphics are all good. There are some with animation that are excellent. Note the Christmas Display. That was written by a 13 yr old neighbor of Bob Dudley. I'd say he's doing pretty well for a "teen". 5. If you have High School students that need drill on math and vocabulary skills, the IQBUILD series is excellent. Many of the problems are quite simple but it has some tough ones, too. The ANALOG, ANTONYM, SYNONYM and NUMBERS files all work with the IQBUILD series. 6. The remaining files are utilities. There is a LABEL series that will print DISK labels (on 5" single, one up labels). The LABEL version is adapted for a TI-PC using the TI Model 855 printer. The LABPRT version is the original version for an IBM and an EPSON printer. 7. The final series of files, GS-XXX, are BASIC utilities to use with BASIC files to clean them up and reduce the size before compiling them. (You're on your own here. I didn't take the time to check these out.) 8. It is recognized that all users are not interested in all of these programs but there is something for about anyone. I have noticed that the quality of our programs has been improving lately. We've had some very useful and excellent programs. I would recommend that you scan the documentation and perhaps try each of them to see if you like the way it works. We are trying to provide a good selection of the available Public Domain programs. I hope many of you are finding them useful.

This disk, like the last few disks, is prepared on a double-density, double-sided disk with eight sectors so that it can be used by members using either MS\DOS\1.xx or MS\DOS\2.xx. There is no operating system (COMMAND.COM) on the disk. There are no menus on the disk. 2. It is recommended that this disk be copied and that the original disk be saved as a back-up. To run the disk you must "boot" your computer with an MS\DOS disk. 3. The DOCUMENTATION files can be viewed by typing . If you would like a printed copy of the the documentation, turn your printer on and depress the key ONE time before you depress the key above. 4. The other files on this disk are either executable (.EXE) or command (.COM) files. They can be run directly by typing from the DOS prompt (ie A>). 5. This disk has several excellent utility programs and two graphic demonstrations. The Diana demonstration can be run by typing . It is a good example of the quality of graphics and color available from the TIPC. 6. The two pictures on this disk are exceptional. They were both prepared with the DR HALO graphic program. If you were impressed with the pictures of the Corvette and the Porsche, wait until you have seen the "Ship" and the "House". They are especially striking in color. To view them, type (or HOUSE). To clear the graphics off of the screen you will need to use the CLG.COM file on this disk. 7. The first of the utilities is the SPOOL printer buffer. This program was written by Mike Bookman who contributed not only the assembled program but also the assembly language source program for members who would like to see how it has been written. The print buffer has a default of 16K. If you would like a larger or smaller buffer, specify the desired size when installing the buffer; ie where nn is the size of the buffer in Kbytes. When the SPOOL is installed it will reside in memory until you reboot. All output from the computer to the parallel printer port will be intercepted and directed to the print buffer. Then, the contents of the print buffer will be directed to the printer. This will allow you to send several pages of data to the buffer and then continue to work on the computer while the printer is operating. If you want to change the size of the print buffer you will have to "reboot" the computer and reinstall the SPOOL nn with the new buffer size. 8. The second outstanding utility on this disk is a lable- maker program, LM. This program will prepare keyboard over- lay templates to mark the use of the function keys as used with various software programs. Four labels with groups of four keys each are prepared for the F1-F4, F5-F8, F9-F12 and the INS, DEL, BRK/PAUS and PRNT keys. Each label can have a title above the keys and up to four combinations to provide the Normal, Shifted, Control-Fn and Alternate-Fn keys. The keyboard templates made in this manner are marked for the cut-out for the keys. If you desire, the keboard labels can be laminated in clear plastic sheets for better durability. If you use several different software programs that use the function keys you will appreciate the utility of this LM program. 9. There is an ARCive 440 program on the disk that is another good program for combining several programs into one file for easier transmission. This is very useful for browsing through bulletin boards. It works with files with an ARC filename extension. It can also be used to prepare the ARChive file. 10. Finally, there are several utilities to control graphic displays, etc. These include the HSHOW to view Dr. Halo pictures and the ISHOW to view Gem Paint pictures. The document file, TIPCGRFX.DOC will give more detail about these additional files. 11. This is an EXCELLENT disk. Input for the disk is from two of our strongest supporters. Our thanks to Mike Bookman for his excellent work with the printer buffer and to Dean Fetterolf for collecting all of the others. Thanks, guys!

Library Disk #20 is similar to the other recent Users' Group disks. It contains a conglomeration of many programs, some of them outstanding. Most of them are stand-alone programs that may be copied to other disks where desired. Some of the pro- grams have their own documentation. Many of them are so simple to operate that they don't require documentation. 2. Disk Utilities once again predominate on this disk. One fine utility program is the BLANK program that can be installed with a batch file every time you "boot" the computer. It will blank your screen after two minutes of no input -- an excellent way to prevent burning a hold in the display. 3. Another outstanding utility is the PFM Personal Files Manager and its companion XE executable editor. This is another of the handy file manipulation programs that can permit you to read text files; move, copy or delete single or multiple files; view or change file attributes; and generally simplify the process of moving around the disk files. With the editor you can easily enter and change any text file such as a batch file or a CONFIG.SYS file. 4. Along this same line is the DISKEDIT file that presents the contents of a binary file so you can view it. The program menu appears simple although there is no documentation with it. You can enter it with the command "DISKEDIT " where the filespec is the name of the disk drive and the filename of the program you want to look at. You control the program with the function keys (marked as fk1, etc across the bottom of the display). I haven't been able to get it to write changes to a file but the other functions work well. 5. Another interesting utility is the DOSEDIT file. This file resides in background when installed and remembers your DOS command inputs -- ie COPY, TYPE, DIR etc. Each of these com- mands is pushed onto a stack so that you can quickly recall any of them if you wish to repeat a command. You can always recall the last command (with the F3 key) but this allows you to go back farther. At times it is quite handy. 6. The ESKC file is also an interesting utility with specialized use. It permits you to enter "escape key" sequences quickly and easily. It doesn't save you the work of looking up the keyboard character codes but you can quickly set up keys when required for special functions. The escape codes can be set up in a batch file when you use them frequently, but this permits more flexibility when it is used infrequently. 7. The FREE, SORTDIR, and TIMER are less handy. Free will tell you how much free space exists on a given disk drive. SORTDIR will resort a disk directory and re-list it in alphabetical order. This is not just a display but actually re-orders the directory on the disk. The TIMER checks the clock speed in your computer. Perhaps interesting but of little practical value. 8. The Hi-Lite of this disk are two good graphics programs. These are the BITMAP and the ETCH. The BITMAP has good documentation and permits very detailed graphic work including "fat bit" pixel control. The ETCH program is interesting but lacks documen- tation. It may take some experimentation -- or one of you users might take it upon yourself to write us some documentation. 9. There are several other small programs on the disk. Most are self-explainatory. 10. Like other recent disks this one is a goldmine of good utility programs -- and a couple of good graphic programs, too.

Library Disk #21 is similar to the other recent Users' Group disks. It contains a conglomeration of many programs, some of them outstanding. Most of them are stand-alone programs that may be copied to other disks where desired. Some of the pro- grams have their own documentation. Many of them are so simple to operate that they don't require documentation. 2. Some of the programs on this disk have been compressed with the ARCHIVE program. You can identify the programs that have been saved this way with the ".ARC" filename extension. You must use an ARCHIVE program to extract the files. A copy of the ARCHIVE Version 440 is on the disk. You can get a help menu by typing . To extract the files from the compressed ARC format, copy the desired file to a "working" disk where you will have adequate room. Also copy the ARC440.EXE file to the work- ing disk. Then type and the files will be extracted. Now you can run them or copy them to another disk for later use. 3. Like many of the recent disks, there are several programs on this disk that require the DOS 2.xx EMULATE.COM file to run. I continue to encourage you to get the DOS 2.xx. It is much more powerful than the DOS 1.xx and opens the way to many useful programs. 4. Most of the programs on this disk are Utility programs -- things that will do useful file manipulation for you. One of these is the PCBOSS. This is another excellent file manager program. (This one requires EMULATE.) We have recently provided several good file managers -- PFM, VFILER, CWEEP and now PCBOSS. Each have their strong and weak points and all of them do basically the same thing. Try them out and see which one you like. I personally use the PFM but occassionally use one of the others when I want other features. 5. The second handy utility is the CED program. This is a Command line EDitor that allows you to recall DOS commands and allows you to modify them. For example, if you had issued a command like "COPY E:\DIR1\SUBDIR1\FILE1.TXT E:\DIR2\SUBDIR2\FILE2.TXT" and then decided you wanted to change it to read "DIR3"; you can do so easily with the CED program. Without it you almost have to retype the entire command. (You can do it with the DOS editing keys but most people are not proficient enough in their use.) Also, in DOS you can only edit the last command where with the CED you can recall and edit many recent commands. 6. There are also CRYPTOR and DIRHIDE programs on the disk. The CRYPTOR allows you to encrypt and decrypt files for security reasons -- but be careful, you risk losing them for ever when you use a system like this. The DIRHIDE allows you to make your directories and subdirectories "hidden" so that they do not show up in a "DIR" command. This might be a better way to provide security for files -- simply make them as hidden files in a hidden subdirectory. 7. The PKXARC is a new "fast" archive program. I haven't tried it. I have been content with the performance of the ARC440 also on this disk. 8. The TERM PATCH program is a file that will upgrade the Version 3.1 of the TERM Communication Program to a Version 3.11. Unfor- tunately it does not upgrade earlier versions of the TERM pro- gram -- and the one we have in the library is Version 3.00. If any of you have a Verssion 3.1 or later, please send it along so we can add it to the library. 9. The PCCHECK program is a check management program to control your home finances. It is written in TURBO PASCAL and compiled and appears to run quickly and looks very friendly. It looks like a great program. 10. The CHK4BOMB program is just what it says -- a program to examine a new program to ensure there arn't any surprises. Many of the Bulletin Boards have been getting programs that will cause trouble in your files. Some seem to run all right for awhile but when triggered by a date or a number of uses, it ports off to a section where it does all kinds of misschief. The CHK4BOMB works like the ASCII program on a previous UG disk. It allows you to read the text strings out of a file before running the file to see if it gives you any clues as to what it does. At the present time it is important to use care when trying new programs from unknown sources. 11. The SMGRAPH1 program is a modified graphing program to use with the Stock Market Graphing program on a recent library disk. This version has been modified to use the PRNTSCRN.DEV (from DOS 2.xx) to print copies of the graphs without the extra keystrokes required in the earlier version. It also shows how to call the PRNTSCRN.DEV from a BASIC program for any members that want to see an example of the use. (Look at lines 4400-4500 in the program). 12. The last file on the disk is the FEDTAX85.WKS. This is a LOTUS\1-2-3 template. This template can be loaded into the LOTUS like any other worksheet and will handle the mathematical calculations on your tax for you. We will have more tax programs later.

All of the programs on this disk are of special interest to some users but may not be of interest to all users. The TERM320.ARC is a new Version 3.2 of the TERM Modem communications program. This version corrects the problems in past versions and is an excellent Comm program for the TIPC. 4. The 85FEDTAX.ARC is a new version of John Wheeler's Federal Tax template. This program is for users of the LOTUS 1-2-3 spread sheet and is a big modification of last year's version. In addition, John has updated the program to the 1985 forms (for tax due in April, 1986) and has added the DC, MD, and VA sales tax tables for automatic insertion. Many new improvements to the menus and machros make this a very powerful new tax preparation tool. 5. The ARC450.ARC is the new Version 4.5 of the ARC Archive program. It is included to make available the very latest version of this most useful utility programs. 6. The last two programs, LTSTIPS3.ARC and LTSTIPS4.ARC are both collections of LOTUS 1-2-3 templates and useful routines. These as well as the Tax program must be used with the LOTUS program.

Area TI-PC Users' Group Library Disk # 23 1. This disk, like the past several, is filled to about 320K out of some 322K available on an eight sector formatted disk. We have continued to use eight sectored disks for the benefit of the members who are still using the older version 1.xx of DOS. At the current cost of disks this loss of about 40K per disk is not big. 2. In response to requests by several members we have dis- continued the practice of compressing the files on the disks with the ARChive program. The ARC program is an excellent way to compress files to save room on your own disks and also to make transmission time shorter when sending a file over a telephone line. However, it caused problems and inconven- ience for some members and again, the saving of space is not too significant with floppy disks so inexpensive. 3. The main program on this disk is the TERM Version 3.3 with its documentation. This is an OUTSTANDING communica- tions program for TI PC's. It has been written in the "C" language which makes it very fast and convenient to use. Any members using his PC for communications with a MODEM should try this program. Members who are interested in getting into the fascinating world of PC Communications should try this TERM program before they spend a dime on any other communica- tions program. I think that much about this one. 4. Also on the disk are some interesting utility programs. First of these is the PC-DISK that prepares a catalog of files on your disks. It allows you to make notes that are more descriptive than just the file names and then can sort the catalog to find the program you're interested in. If you are like me with a couple hundred floppies lying around, you need something like this to give it all some order. 5. The other two utility programs are the DD double direc- tory program that allows you to display two directories at a time, side by side. You can then scroll either directory separately. The last utility is a calendar program that will display a current month calendar for quick reference. 6. I have noticed that the quality of our programs has been improving lately. We've gotten some very excellent programs that should be quite useful. For communications, I think the TERM is soon going to be a standard for TI PC's, its that good. I would recommend that you scan the documentation and perhaps try each of them to see if you like the way it works. We are trying to provide a good selection of the available Public Domain (and also User Supported) programs that run on the TI PC recognizing that most of them have been written for that other machine format. Some of the programs may require EMULATE to run and some may have limitations on a TI PC. I hope many of you are finding them useful.

This is a powerful home accounting system designed to manage finances for a home or small busi- ness. 3. The second large program on this disk is a word processor using BASIC. I found this program a little clumsy and awk- ward but some might like it. You might give it a try and see what you think. 4. There are also two disk directory utility programs. We have a lot of disk directory programs. Apparently a lot of programmers out there don't like the way other people read disk files. We continue to provide these duplicative pro- grams so members can try them until they find the one that best suits them. 5. As with most of our library disks, ALL of these programs were written for the "Big Blue" hardware. You may encounter problems with them even using the EMULATOR and members using DOS 1.xx may not be able to run some of them. But that is part of the fun of owning a computer!

The two files on this disk that require the ARCHIVE program are the DISKDIR and the DISKDOC archive files. They are collections of the Disk Directories and the Disk Documentation files on the first 24 TI-PC Users' Group disks. This is primarily for the benefit of new members and out-of-town members who want to know more about the contents of the previous Library Disks. 4. The main program on this disk is the TI version of KERMIT, a PC communications program used by PC's to communicate with some large databases on main frame computers. I haven't used this program but understand from Al Hedrick that it is a good one and runs well. 5. There are several BASIC programs on this disk. ANALYSIS is similar to other statistical programs we have had. OTHELLO2 is another good OTHELLO game. The HAYESTST is supposed to test and check a Hayes type external MODEM. I don't have an external MODEM and have not tested this program. The EZLABEL3 (and its companion program DIRECTRY.COM) will make mailing labels or address envelopes for you. CAUTION: DO NOT TRY TO USE THE DIRECTRY PROGRAM AS IF IT WAS A STAND-ALONE COMMAND PROGRAM. It will lock up your keyboard and leave you sitting in front of a STUPID computer! 6. The REFRESH, SCLEAN and GCLEAN programs are utility programs to format, single-erase or group-erase your disks including a hard disk. I am happy with the other utilities I am using at this time and therefore did not test any of these. The two CLEAN files are BASIC files that create COM files that do the actual work. I provide them "as is" for your information. 7. The MENU is a colorful menu reminder used by Steve Rogers to call up his hard disk files. He would need batch files named like the two character call names to access the actual programs. 19 File(s) 40960 bytes free Directory of A:\ Volume in drive A is TI-PC UG#25 ANALYSIS BAS 9216 3-09-86 9:55a ARC440 DOC 23936 11-05-85 10:22p ARC440 EXE 31616 11-03-85 1:02a DIRECTRY COM 256 12-30-85 11:08a DISK DOC 3432 8-23-86 5:02p DISKDIR ARC 24046 8-02-86 6:39p DISKDOC ARC 56226 8-02-86 7:06p EZLABEL3 BAS 7398 12-30-85 11:08a GCLEAN BAS 3742 1-20-86 5:32p HAYESTST BAS 2944 3-09-86 9:42a KERMIT EXE 38400 6-20-85 11:43p MENU 1592 8-03-85 9:40a MENU DOC 1534 8-05-86 1:37p OTHELLO2 BAS 7552 2-03-86 12:05a REFRESH COM 1085 9-16-85 10:06p REFRESH DOC 580 3-16-85 12:33a SCLEAN BAS 3665 1-20-86 5:27p TELFON EXE 34048 1-25-86 10:36a TIKERM DOC 60032 2-06-86 12:46p Washington Area Texas Instruments Professional Computer Users' Group Library Disk # 26 November, 1986 1. This disk continues in the format of the preceding disks. It is formatted with 8 sectors but the majority of the programs will require the DOS 2.xx to operate. 2. The principle program on this disk is the "3 X 5", an unstructured database file program constructed in the image of 3" x 5" index cards. The 3BY5 has just one executable file and it may be removed from the disk drive after the program has been loaded. There is also extensive documentation on the disk and several tutorial files. 3. The intent of the 3BY5 was to build a program that was capable of storing unstructured data, searching the data, and retrieving it when desired. Each record is composed of only ONE field of fixed size up to 8000 characters as selected by the user. Data may be arranged in any manner but only the first 1024 characters can be searched. Search strings can be from 3 to 60 characters long and support the logical "and" and "or" operators. This program will search/edit multiple files. Two windows may be created on the display and files simultaneously displayed in each window. 4. The 3BY5 is supported by an excellent editor that provides typeover- /insert operation and rapid cursor movement. Text blocks can be deleted, moved, or copied within one file or between files. The 3BY5 will import and search Perfect Writer or Word Star files or text files and can export text files. This should be an excellent tool for maintaining research notes. 5. Also on the disk is the SETRAM program that permits installing and changing a RAMDISK without rebooting the computer. This provides much greater computer control when memory is limited and permits adjusting the RAMDISK to provide an optimum balance of program space and RAMDISK space depending on the application program being run. 6. The final program on this disk is the WORDWARS word game. This game is written in interpreted BASIC and requires the BASIC.EXE to run. In this game the players are provided a string of characters and are each given a chance to spell words using the letter characters provided. Each player is scored on his list of words and scores are kept to determine a winner. This appears to be an excellent game that is adaptable to many different player skill levels.

Library Disk #27 is similar to the other recent Users' Group disks. It contains a conglomeration of several programs, most of them are UTILITY programs for use with other programs or to enhance computer productivity. 2. In the past many members have objected to the use of the ARCHIVE programs to compress the files on the library disks. Disks are quite inexpensive and it doesn't make a lot of sense to try to save space -- but there are several other reasons for using the ARChive files that warrant the members learning to work with them. Most Bulletin Boards now are ARChiving their files to reduce transmission time. It especially makes sense with text files. Also, if you want to store seldom used files, the ARC- hive format will conserve up to half the space. I encourage people to become "comfortable" with the ARChive files. 3. In that vein, I have included two ARChive files on this disk. First is ARC.EXE and ARC.DOC. This is version 5.12 of the ARChive program and the latest I've seen although about a year old. 4. The second program is the PKXARC.COM, PKXARCJR.COM and the PKXARC.DOC series. These are the "fast" ARChive files and work especially well. The .COM version requires 105K of working memory. The JR version requires less, only 71K of working memory and may be more suitable if you have limited memory. The DOC files supports both versions. 5. Another excellent supporting file for the ARCHIVE programs is the COVERARC.EXE and COVERARC.DOC. This file combines the best of two worlds. It makes disk directory listing that can be slipped into disk envelopes like the COVER program does but it extracts the listing of internal files in ARChive files. This is a must if you are storing disks with ARChive files. 6. Another useful utility program on this disk is the ALTPAGE.EXE and DOC files. This program will take a long text file and divide it to two files, an EVEN file and an ODD file. Thus, if you have a long documentation file that you would like to print ON BOTH SIDES OF THE PRINTER PAPER, this file will create sep- erate files for the Odd and Even numbered pages. You can print the Odd file, remove the paper from the printer and turn it over and then print the Even file on the backs of the Odd numbered pages. It saves printer paper and reduces the size of your output documents. 7. FK44.BAS and KEYDEF.DOC will generate a pair of batch files that will set up your function keys for you to customize your com- puter configuration. You run the BAS file with your BASIC.EXE interpreter program. It will query you as to what you would like to use the Function, Shifted-Function, Alt-Function and Ctrl-Function keys for. It will then prepare a batch file (KEYDEF.BAT) that will customize these key set-ups when you run the batch file. It also creates an ORIGINAL.BAT to reset the keys to the DOS normal settings. 8. FILER2.EXE, FILER2.DOC and WHATS.NEW create DOS like commands (DIR, COPY, DELETE, etc) with a little more flexibility and security than the regular DOS commands. If you have trouble deleting the wrong files, you might try this. 9. NO.COM, NO.BAS and NO.DOC are utilities to EXCLUDE files from a wild card action. (The NO.BAS can be run with the BASIC.EXE Command Interpreter to create the NO.COM file, an interesting approach.) To delete ALL the document files on a disk you can use the command "DEL A:*.DOC". To delete all the document files on a disk EXCEPT the NO.DOC file you can use this program like so: "NO NO.DOC DEL A:*.DOC". 10. The remaining files on this disk are for use with LOTUS 1-2-3. The Q123.WKS, RET.WKS and Q123.DOC are "Quick Menu" programs for moving from one LOTUS sub-directory to another. The LOTUSBBS.TXT and .DIR files tell about the availability of a LOTUS Bulletin Board and the DIR file gives an example of the programs on the BBS. Finally, the COLORL.BAS is a Basic program that will change the colors in the LOTUS 1-2-3 program. This was written by a user that didn't like the dim shades of white he was encountering on a monochrome monitor. (I haven't tried this one.)

Library Disk #28 is primarily for members that are using the LOTUS 1-2-3 spreadsheet program. It contains predominately LOTUS "Templates" although there are some other nice Utility programs. 2. The Primary Programs on this disk are three Tax Preparation Temp- lates prepared by John Wheeler to assist members in preparing their 1986 Federal Income Taxes and the new W-4 forms. These are the 86FEDTAX.WKS and the W4.WKS files. John has also included a NEXT- TAX.WKS template to estimate your '87 and '88 taxes. These are excellent programs, very "User Friendly" because of the extensive use of MACHROS, and out in time to help prepare your taxes. 3. Also for the LOTUS users there is a set of five Personal Accounting templates and an Internal Rate of Return template. These files are not as complex as the Tax files and probably not as useful although they may meet your needs with some modifications. 4. For all users, there are several excellent Utility Programs. First of these is a major revision of Mike Bookman's popular SPOOL.COM Parallel Printer Buffer. This new version 2.1 offers four addi- tional commands to Clear, Disable, Enable and Suspend the Print Buffer. 5. Another excellent utility is the MEMBRAIN.EXE. This program creates a RAMDISK driver (MEMBRAIN.SYS) that can be loaded by a CONFIG.SYS file to set up a RAMDISK when you boot your computer. The unique feature of this program is that you can control many of the parame- ters of the RAMDISK such as disk size, sector size, cluster size etc. I imagine that this driver requires DOS 2.xx although I have not tried to install it with the DOS 1.xx. 6. The final file will be of interest and use only to those members who are using the WORDSTAR word processor. The WSTODOS.COM file will take the imbedded codes out of a WordStar file to produce an ASCII text file.

Library Disk #29 is again formatted with some programs in the ARCHIVE format. This has been done for a variety of reasons. The NORTON.ARC is a compilation of help files for the Norton Utilities. There are many of these files and they are all small and would thus take up an inordinate amount of space on the disk if they were stored individually. The BLOSSOM.ARC is a collec- tion of LOTUS 1-2-3 Worksheet Templates. They take up a lot more disk space if not squeezed with the ARCHIVE program. To get to these files you must unARChive them with either the ARC.EXE or the PKXARC.COM. Both of these programs are available on Library Disk #27. 2. Many of these programs were written for the "Big Blue" computer and it's clones and will require the DOS 2.xx and the EMULATE program in order to run them. If you get a "System Error 1042:xxxxx" when trying to run a program, you have encountered one of these programs and need to install the Emulate Filter. 3. The first program on this disk is the set of data files contain- ing the names of the Washington Area, TIPC Users' Group members. These are just name, address, telephone number and membership expiration date -- we do not have the complete record of member equipment ready for distribution yet. In fact, it is now out of date and will probably not be distributed until it is updated. You will need the PCFILE III, database program to access this membership list. The PCFILE III program is available from many Users' Groups and many Bulletin Boards. If you do not have a copy of it, it is available from our library. We have Version 4.0, the latest version I believe. 4. The next file on the disk is for the genealogists among us. It is a small BASIC file that will encode SOUNDEX Codes of family surnames. In all US Census Reports since 1880 family surnames have been coded with the SOUNDEX code so that similar sounding names will be indexed together. Thus the names SMITH, SMYTH, and SMYTHE would all be grouped together making a name search easier. 5. The RPRN program is a program to redirect the output from a program to a disk file instead of the printer. It notes that it is usable for programs that direct output through DOS commands. It has not worked with a couple programs I tried it with but I will add it to the disk so more of you can give this great idea a try. 6. The FOLIO is the Portfolio Plus program that will calculate net worth for you. Although it has been written in a TIPC version, this is the BLUE version and requires EMULATE. 7. The NORTON.ARC files are NOT the commercially distributed NORTON UTILITIES but are Information/Help files for them. 8. The SAP300 is a disk directory utility to clean up the disk directory on a disk, remove deleted file names, and rewrite the directory for faster access. 9. The BLOSSOM.ARC contains a set of LOTUS 1-2-3 Worksheet Templates to calculate various statistical analysis functions upon input data. These templates appear to be quite sophisticated and of excellent overall quality. They make extensive use of Machros thus making their operation quick and easy -- and with less errors, too. 10. The STATGRAF is another LOTUS Template that has graphed several statistical functions. 11. ELEMENTS is a database of the Elements in the Periodic Table. It is an interesting program for those working with Chemistry but I never did find an "elegant" way to get out of it. The best I was ever able to do was to "break" the program with the "SHFT- BRK/PAUS" keys. 12. The final program on the disk is the PALERT program, a disk util- ity to warn you when you are reaching the capacity of a disk. 13. I continue to look for and solicit good programs of value to other TIPC Users' Group members. Many of the best, and most useful programs that we have are those that have been written by our own members. I hope you will all take a look at the things you've written and share the good ones with the rest of us.

Disk #30 has several ARChived files on it. These were primarily text files that take up a lot of space if not compressed. I would hope that most of the members are now comfortable using the ARC or PKXARC programs to un-ARChive these programs. My own preference is the PKXARC "fast" ARChiving program. It can be found on Disks Numbers 21 and 27. The latest version (5.12) of the ARC program is also on Disk # 27. 2. There are THREE Library files on this disk. The DISKDIR file is an ARChived grouping of the Directories of the first 29 disks and will give you an idea of the size as well as the names of the files. The second is the DISKDOC file that is an ARChived grouping of the Disk Documentation files on the first 29 Disks. This will give you more specific information about each disk with an idea of what each file will do and how to run it. The third collection is the LIBRARY file which is an ARChived set of data files to be run with the PC-FILE III Database Management Program. This will have to be un-ARChived and then will require the use of the PC-FILE III, version 4.0 to view the database. (This is available from the Users' Group Library and is an excel- lent, easy to use database management program.) This is the same database program we are using for the membership rolls. You will need DOS 2.xx and the DOS EMULATE.COM file to run PC-File. 3. The next program on the disk is also ARChived. This is a new TI Screen Dump driver to dump the graphics and/or the text screen to a printer. If you are using one of the new TI Color printers, it will print in color. It will print either horizontally or verti- cally on the paper. You can also "zoom" the graphic print a little to adjust the size or the output. This is primarily to be able to match the graphic size with the type font spacing that you are using. TI has made print drivers for use with both the TI computer and also in a format to be used on the IBM computer. It can be used with any of the TI-850 series printers or printers using similar codes like the IBM and Epson printers. 4. The ASCII file is a small program that will display the ASCII characters in a window on the right side of the display. This will be especially useful for programmers. 5. The CALC is a "memory-resident" calculator program. This is not the first of these calculator programs we've had but it is one of the best. It has many powerful functions, can put answers into other programs and can work in degrees or radians, "hex" or "decimal" and with decimal or scientific (exponential) number representation. It may cause interference with some programs. 6. The final program on the disk is the MYMACROS which is a LOTUS 1-2-3 spreadsheet template of many MACHROS. These can be copied out and used in your own spreadsheets. They are nicely indexed and well documented and should be a great help to LOTUS users. 7. About half of this disk is devoted to LIBRARY functions. In the future I don't anticipate carrying all three files but just the PC-FILE database listings. The other half of the disk has some very useful and handy utility programs. E N J O Y !! Volume in drive : is TI-PC UG#30 Directory for ::/ DISKDIR ARC 27203 1987-03-02 14:59 DISKDOC ARC 66375 1987-02-15 18:08 LIBRARY ARC 12662 1987-03-13 16:44 SCRDUMP ARC 40729 1987-01-17 23:03 ASCII COM 15370 1986-12-03 20:39 ASCII MAN 1432 1986-12-03 20:39 CALC COM 42412 1987-01-24 22:00 CALC DOC 23955 1987-01-24 22:26 SETUP COM 39190 1987-01-24 9:06 MYMACROS WKS 43904 1987-02-07 17:47 DISK30 DOC 3840 1987-03-13 18:05 11 files 317 072 bytes 0 bytes free T H E P R O F E S S I O N A L S Washington Area TI-PC Users' Group Library Disk # 32 May 1987 1. This disk is a compilation of many programs and contains something for everyone. Some of the programs are in the ARChive format to save disk space. You will have to extract them with the ARChive file or the PKXARC fast UN-ARChive Utility. There is an updated version of the PKXARC file on this disk that may be used. 2. Some of the programs will require DOS 2.xx and EMULATE to run and some of them will require a 3-plane graphics board. 3. There are two games on this disk. One is CHESS-TI which is an better CHESS game then the one we have had on a previous disk. You play against the Computer. You move around the display with the cursor keys and pick up a chess piece with the key. To put it down use the key. For those who have been looking for a better chess game I think this will answer the problem. The second game is SILO, a ground-based missile silo that shoots down satellites. 4. There is one game/educational program on the disk. The TYPEGAME is a BASIC program that gives you a phrase to type and then scores your performance. You can select the level of speed that you want to brush up on your typing skills. 5. The PKX34A20 file creates the latest version of the Fast ARChive and UN-ARChive programs. It will extract PKXARC version 3.4 and PKARK version 2.0. These do about the same thing the ARChive program does (on the ARChive files) but a lot faster. 6. The 123UNP is a collection of text files documenting the various ways to "unprotect" the copy protected LOTUS 1-2-3 files. The LOTUS program is distributed on a copy protected disk that loads very slowly since it is saved on disk in an IBM disk format, not a TI disk format. This will allow you to copy your LOTUS program to a hard disk or onto a floppy diskette that will load about ten times faster than the original diskette. 7. TTGEN10 is another Genealogical File that will create "Tiny Tafel" formated surname files. This is the format being used by the National Genealogical Conference to coordinate research of common surnames with other researchers working on the same surnames. 8. Finally, there are many UTILITY files on the disk. The DESKTOP and the PAD both create LOTUS Templates that create Desktop Utilities. Try them both and choose. 9. AUTOSAVE will periodically save your work to a disk file to preclude loss of new data in the event of a power loss or "crash". The DARC will delete all files in a subdirectory that have the same name as a file in an ARChive package. This is handy to prevent accidental overwriting when extract- ing files from an ARC. FILES is an excellent Directory program that will list the directory files grouped by extension names. NAVIGATE creates BATch files that will make it easier to move around subdirectories on a hard disk. 10. The TDPRT is a Print Utility that will give you printing control when printing text files. The TDSTAMP will send a "string" and a date and time to a disk file or the printer. The WHERE3 is another file locator. E N J O Y !!

This disk is being prepared as an ARCHIVED disk primarily with files saved in the compressed ARC manner. It is also being prepared on 9 sector disks to put more data on each disk. It is believed that all TI PC users are now using DOS 2.xx and these changes will increase the usable data on each disk. 2. One of the main attractions on this disk is the TI WIN- DOWS screen driver that permits you to generate windows in your TI Display. The program uses the ANSI extended display controls. There is a DEMO batch file on the disk that shows some of the potential of this driver. As with all drivers, the WINDOW driver must be loaded by your CONFIG.SYS file at the time you "boot" your computer similar to the RAMDISK and PRNTSCRN drivers on the DOS 2.xx disk. 3. Another excellent program is the CASHFLOW accounting program that appears to be an overkill for household finances but would be adequate for many small businesses. 4. There is also an ELEMENTS program for the benefit of the chemists in our group that need access to data from the Periodic Table. Watch this one a little when you use it! I have not found an "elegant" way to exit from the program. It appears that the author has either assumed that all we do is search the Periodic Table - or that once he has us "captured" he doesn't want us to get away! 5. The SIGNMAKR.ARC file contains the program and document- ation for the SIGNMAKER program to prepare Banner type signs. There are several different print font drivers provided. The banners are printed lengthwise on the paper and can be up to 132 characters long. 6. There are many Utility programs on this disk. The ARC520.COM when run will create the ARC Version 5.20 EXE program and its documentation. The ARCE30E.ARC is the Archived version 3.0E of the ARC Extract program. These are the latest versions of the ARC utilities. 7. HDIR.ARC creates the program file and documentation for the "Hot DIR" version 2.0. This creates a very colorful Directory on a color monitor. You can get instructions with the HDIR /h command and a color DIR with HDIR /a. 8. KILLDIR is a utility that will delete a subdirectory and all files in it. (DOS will only delete empty directories). You must be in the next higher directory to use this one but it will save time when you are throwing out "junk". The DIRNAME utility permits you to change the name of a directory after it has been created. Normally with DOS you must create the new directory with the new name, move the files, then delete the old directory. 9. The VIEWDISK utility is a very powerful utility. It gives you the opportunity to look at every sector on a disk. You can view, in "hex" and in "text", any or all sectors on a disk. 10. The XEQ is an interesting utility that permits you to put small COM files into an XEQ "library" (so that they don't consume so much space on your disk) and then permits you to run the files from within the library with the Command "Extractor". If you have run out of space on your hard disk, this might help a little. 11. The TRAPDISK is another file that attempts to identify and stop programs that contain "bombs" or other distructive code that will reformat your hard disk or do other damage to your files. If you frequently download files from uncontrol- led BBSs, this might be handy. 12. The DRTYDOZN.TXT is a text file listing of the known "Trojan Horse" or other defective files that may be encount- ered on Bulletin Boards. The file has been ARCed to save space. Note that some of the program titles listed in the Dirty Dozen are files that we have published on our disks. We try to take special care to make sure that all our files are "clean" before we put them on the disks but that is not true of all Bulletin Boards. 13. There are also several LOTUS 1-2-3 Templates on this disk. The LOTUSBBS.ARC is a collection of things taken from the new LOTUS Bulletin Board. It includes a listing of the files available from that board. 14. Other LOTUS Templates include a loan amortization pro- gram, a simple ledger program, an Internal Rate of Return program and a sample Mail Listing although it appears pretty simple to me. 15. Finally, there are two programs for the Genealogists. One is the FRANCAL.TXT, a text file that discusses the abnor- malities in the French Calendar in the late 1700's and early 1800's. The second is the VITLRCDS.TXT, another text file that lists the addresses to write for birth or death records in the various States and also lists the cost of such records as of last Spring.

Library Disk #34 contains only two programs, the new version 4.01 of the TERM communications Program and the TI- Protector software written by Don Plorde of the Chesapeake TI-PC Users' Group. Both of these programs are distributed as "Shareware"! 2. The TERM program is one of the best PC Communication programs and has been designed for the TI-PC. The new version 4.01 brings us the "kermit" protocol and the same fast, powerful performance. 3. The TI-Protector is used with the X-10 Powerhouse elec- tronic computer interface to control the X-10 light switches, and light or appliance modules. The software (used with the IBM version of the Powerhouse) allows you to control up to 256 distinct modules with up to 128 different timed events. You can control the ON/OFF time for lights, radios, coffee pots, TVs, etc. With lights you can also set the light brightness in several distinct power levels. The controller has the capability of varying the timing of events to make security lights look more normal. Best of all, it is easy to program and DOES NOT HAVE TO REMAIN CONNECTED TO THE COMPUTER after you have down-loaded the program to the Powerhouse interface - it even has a battery to keep the program in case of a power failure. Documentation is included in the self- extracting EXE program. ** E N J O Y ** Volume in drive : is TIPC UG#34 Directory for ::/ DISK DOC 1744 1987-12-07 11:56 README 4282 1987-08-02 21:07 T400DOC EXE 84323 1987-07-22 21:51 TCONFIG EXE 40126 1987-08-02 0:31 TERM EXE 140504 1987-08-02 0:30 TERM STR 2012 1986-06-28 0:00 TIPROT EXE 85887 1987-07-12 19:11 7 files 358 878 bytes 0 bytes free THE PROFESSIONALS Washington Area TI-PC Users' Group Library Disk # 35 January 1985 1. Once again this disk is made up of mostly ARChived files that will require either the PKXARC or the ARChive Utility to extract the indi- vidual files. This packing technique saves considerable space, up to about 50% in text files, and therefore allows us to put many more programs on each disk. 2. This disk is an assortment of programs with some specific appli- cation programs and some useful utility files. It also contains some Text files of interest to members of the Users' Group. 3. The first Application program is the CASHFLOW.ARC which contains a corrected copy of the CASHFLOW accounting program that was on Disk #33. I don't know what happened to the file on the previous disk but it was damaged in some manner either during the ARChiving or copying process. Sorry for the inconvenience. 4. The second major Application program is the FAMHIST.ARC. This is the shareware program, Family History System, one of the highest rated Public Domain/Shareware genealogy programs with many functions and features incorporated. The program is written in BASIC and will require the BASIC.EXE interpreter to run. It is a very complex program using a system of batch and basic files. Because it is in interpreted BASIC the program is sometimes slow but it is very powerful. Be sure to read the documentation on how to get this one started. Also for genealogists is a new listing of the Bulletin Boards in the National Genealogical Conference that carry genealogy data in the GBBS.ARC file. 5. For the Users' Group, this disk contains a complete listing of the files on all of the UG Library disks in the PC-FILE III database format. You will need a copy of the PC-FILE III program (shareware) and the EMULATE.COM from the DOS 2.xx to run this. This is in the LIBRARY.ARC file. Also on the disk is the ROSTER.ARC which gives a current listing of the members of the User Group. 6. The remaining files on the disk are useful Utilities. The WSSI.ARC is version 3.0 of the WSS Index program to index the programs on your diskette library. This appears to be an excellent indexing program and it is fast and easy to use however it doesn't have quite the flexibility of using a database like the PC-FILE III. 7. The PKFIND10.COM is a file finder program. IBM402.arc is a new version of a "better" (?) Emulate file. It appears to be well written and more poserful than the DOS EMULATE.COM. I have not tested it exten- sively and don't know how many more files it will allow you to use. 8. The last Utility is the ASMGEN.ARC. Once again, I have not tested it extensively but it supposedly will take a EXE file and write the assembly language program which would permit you to make some minor changes to a program and recompile it. It sounds exciting but I have not tried it. E N J O Y !!

This disk contains two ARChived files that will require either the PKXARC or the ARChive Utility to extract the individual files. This packing technique saves considerable space, up to about 50% in text files, and therefore allows us to put many more programs on each disk. 2. The first file on this disk is the 1988 Version of John Wheeler's Federal Tax LOTUS 1-2-3 Template, 87FEDTAX.ARC. John has spent quite a bit of effort in getting the program updated earlier this year so that it will be available to members early in their 1988 Tax preparations. 3. John cautions that members using this Tax aid should not just automatically fill in the blanks - there have been many changes this year is the definitions and in the data that goes into a given blank. You will also note that when you start the program indicates you owe $3.50 tax with all the blanks empty. This anomaly is a result of the way the program calculates tax and produces an error if your total income is less than $3000. John didn't correct this since people with less than $3000 will probably not be using the template. He assures me that for income above that level the program will operate correctly. 4. The second file on the disk is the Texas Picture Show, a program to display pictures. The ARChived file includes many excellent graphics. I don't know how these pictures were prepared and I don't know if the program has the capability of generating pictures. For now it appears to be an interesting display of the Graphic Capabilities of the TI-PC. E N J O Y !!

This packing technique saves considerable space, up to about 50% in text files, and therefore allows us to put many more programs on each disk. 2. The first file on this disk is another program to prepare and calculate your 1987 Federal Income Tax. This is an Executable file (EXE) and runs on a TIPC as it is, does not require LOTUS or any other parent file. 3. The second main file on this disk is a greatly expanded and improved version of the WSS Software Indexing system. This version 3.2 offers many additional features over the previous version on Disk 35 that I am putting it on another disk. 4. The last file on this disk is a new listing of Bulletin Boards in the Washington, DC area. Bulletin Boards are proliferating all over the country and this area is no exception. Our own TI BBS is NOT listed here -- it is on (703) 893-4936 and operates at either 1200 or 2400 baud, no parity, 8 data bits and 1 stop bit. When your computer connects you will have to hit the twice to activate the BBS. Give it a try if you're into BBSing! E N J O Y !!

This disk contains ARChived files that will require either the PKXARC or the ARChive Utility to extract the individual files. This packing technique saves considerable space, up to about 50% in text files, and therefore allows us to put many more programs on each disk. 2. This DISK is an assortment of things and should have appeal to just about everyone. I think ALL of these programs run WITHOUT the DOS Emulator or the IBMulate. Some, do require the 3-Plane Graphics Board and a couple of them are BASIC programs and will require the BASIC Interpreter, BASIC.EXE to run. 3. This Disk has an EXCELLENT graphic program. It is the KB Paint program or KBP11 on here. This program needs the 3-Plane Graphic board and will support the Mouse Systems 3 button mouse. After looking at it, I think the Mouse would be an outstanding addition to the program. 4. There are two files on the Disk for the cook of the house. The Chef provides quite a few recipes with the option to add more of your own. One of the strong points of this program is an immediate capability to "resize" the recipe. You can alter it for a different number or servings, or on the basis of the quantity of one ingredient. If you only have three eggs and the recipe calls for four, the program will quickly resize the other ingredients. A companion program is the SUPMKT file (in BASIC) which will prepare printed shopping lists for you. Both look like nice, useful programs. 5. There are two Word Perfect Accessory files on the Disk. One is a WP Macro file and the other a Help file. Both were written for the WP 4.1 in the IBM format and are not 100% compatible with the TI version of WP. However, there may be some ideas you can use. 6. As usual, there are several handy Utility programs on the disk. There is a DOSTIPS file that offers a lot of handy DOS ideas. There is also a program (HELP21) that allows you to generate your own help files. You can build a help file like you want it with a word processor or a text editor, and then pick it up with the HELP program to make the instructions you want. 7. The TIBROWSE lets you call up a text file and view it in a humane manner. Unlike the DOS TYPE command which will go through the text file once -- and you have to stop it with the PAUSE key to read it -- the TIBROWSE will give you one screen of the file and wait for you to scroll down a line at a time or take it a page at a time. AND you can go back up, if you want. It looks like a very handy utility. 8. The DGM, Disk Graphic Mate, will tell you about a disk. It shows you how much space is used and how it is used. NOTE: This does NOT work with the RAMDISK but does appear to do well with hard disks and floppies. The TXT2COM file will convert a text file into a COM file so that instead of having to TYPE a xx.DOC file you can now just call it up like any other COM file. 9. And finally, there is a BASIC GAME for those Game-Players out there. This is a "Wheel of Fortune" game for one to three players. I found it a little slow and tedious, but I'm not much into games. 10. I think generally this is an OUTSTANDING disk and does a lot to uphold the quality of programs that we seek. Many of these files were uploaded to the User Group BBS by some of our members, an excellent way to make the files available. I hope we get more uploads of this quality. E N J O Y !!

This disk contains ARChived files that will require either the PKXARC or the ARChive Utility to extract the individual files. This packing technique saves considerable space, up to about 50% in text files, and therefore allows us to put many more programs on each disk. 2. The first file on this disk is a re-run of the TI-Windows program that was on disk #33. For some reason, there were two ARChived files on that disk that were corrupted during the preparation - and I don't know how. However, I do apologize to anyone that has been inconvenienced by the problem. As I had explained before, the TI-Windows is a Window Driver. It must be installed in the CONFIG.SYS file prior to use. However, it also causes interference with some other memory resident programs. As it is presently configured, I don't see much utility in the program. However, I am hoping that some of our more adventurous members can find a practical use. 3. The largest file on the disk is a Floppy Almanac produced by the Naval Observatory in Washington. This will be a very limited use disk - very valuable for anyone navigating by starts and interesting for people interested in sunrise and sunset. 4. The last two programs are utility programs. The PAINT20 is a Graphic Utility to provide 36 colors. Once again documentation is incomplete but it appears that this program can be used to paint graphics prepared by other programs. The first time you run the program you will find it quite slow in that it must build some graphic support files. Subsequent times it loads much more quickly. 5. The final program is the ACHART2 program that has two memory resident programs to call up the ASCII tables. One program gives the first 128 characters, the other has all 256 ASCII codes. 10. The programs on this disk were uploaded to the Bulletin Board by some of our Members. This is an excellent way to exchange files and I hope to see it used more often in the future. E N J O Y !!

This disk contains ARChived files that will require either the PKXARC or the ARChive Utility to extract the individual files. This packing technique saves considerable space, up to about 50% in text files, and therefore allows us to put many more programs on each disk. 2. This disk has many useful Utility files and all appear to run well on the TI-PC - even WITHOUT the use of an EMULATOR program. 3. The LIBRARY file contains the PC-FILE III format of the software library listing for the first 39 disks. You will need the PC-File program to use these but it then gives you the opportunity to sort them and make library lists of your choice. 4. Also on the disk are the latest versions of the two most popular ARChiving programs. Version 5.21 of the ARC program is a self-extracting .COM program. Just type "ARC521 " and the program files will extract themselves. PK361.EXE is the latest version (v3.61) of the PKWare "Fast" ARChiving program. Both are excellent programs although I prefer the PKX for my own use. It will unARC some programs the ARC file won't handle. 5. The DMAC21 and MACS01 are for use with MacIntosh graphic files. Some Mac picture files have been modified to run in DOS computers. These usually have a .PIC or .MAC filename extension. The DMAC21 will display these pictures on a DOS computer ie TI-PC. The MACS01 is a collection of a few picture files. Note that because of the difference in screen pixel sizes the pictures look better on a TI-PC if you use the "Zoom" feature by pressing the "home" key. 6. For the electricians in the group ELECT is a BASIC program that calculates many useful electrical equations. This is a high quality program that is not only fast but appears to be well programed and very accurate. 7. The FF207 is a file finder program that will make a rapid search for a file. It can be used on one disk or on a multi-disk search. The program can even find a file in an ARChive file and it is fast. It appears to be one of the better file finders I've seen and runs quite fast. 8. The last file on this disk is the ARCF which will search for text strings in Archived files. If you ARChive letter or other text files to save disk space, this is an excellent utility to search through the ARChives to find a specific file based on a search string. E N J O Y !!

This disk contains an ARChived file that will require either the PKXARC or the ARChive Utility to extract the individual files. This packing technique saves considerable space, up to about 50% in text files, and therefore allows us to put many more programs on each disk. 2. There are two major files on this disk. First is the 88FEDTAX.WKS. This is a Lotus 1-2-3 "template" to calculate your 1988 Federal Income Tax. This program has been written by John Wheeler and is a continuation of the Tax Template that he has produced the last several years. You will need the Lotus program to run the template but you will find this to be a first Class Tax program! 3. The second major program on this disk is the EMACS text Editor. This program will run without any emulation - it is a TI compatible version! This is a mighty powerful text editor but you will find that the documentation is deficient. I suggest that you print out the MAGIC.DOC, EMACS.HLP, EMACS.KEY and EMACREAD.ME files before you start. Then when you are ready to "test drive" the program, enter "EMACS-TI EMAC.TUT " and run the tutorial. This editor appears to be quite complex and will require a lot of study and practice but it appears to be worth the effort. 4. There is also one game on this disk - the FIGHTER jet fighter simulator. Although I have not run the program very much, it appears to run well and has excellent use of color and sound with the graphics. You will need a three-plane graphic card to run this one. 5. There are also two utility programs on the disk. The first is the TICED TI version of the CED Command Line Editor. There is no documentation with the program, however, it runs similarly to the previous version of the CED that we have had. When installed, you can make editing changes to the DOS Command line. The UP and DOWN cursor keys will cycle through the previous DOS commands that are in the queue. If you want to use one of these again, you can or you can move the cursor left and right and make changes to the command line. Frequently this will be much faster and more convenient than completely typing the line again. 6. The second utility is the FINDUPE program which will examine all directories on your disk and report duplicate files. E N J O Y !!

ARCE.COM is available as freeware through System Ennhancement Associates, Wayne NJ, written by Wayne Chin and Vernon D Buerg. It is updated to version 3.1b and now includes "unsquashing". Version 3.0 had revisions a through f, and was available in archived form on Library disk #33, with file name ARCE30E.ARC. WSSINDEX is in archived form and has a number of index program files as well as a lot of documentary support files. The indexing file programs are the work of Robert Babcock of WSS Division of DDC in Mass. and are issued to the public domain for copying. He asks a very nominal $5.00 registration fee if you intend to use it. The programs have been developed over the last few years and released in a number of issues. Version 3.20 is on Library disk #37. They are excellent examples of continued support to a worthwhile program and at a most reasonable charge for their use. Furthermore they have been developed into a tool that many of us will find of real value. This is release 3.38 and is to be the last available as freeware. Further releases are available and include a version for the TI Pro for what is a very reasonable price, $25.00. The programs include an indexer that is very fast to use, a custom print program for the compiled index, an import, a merge, an ID adder and a print definition file. He also includes CUTPAST3 on his distribution disk and a wealth of miscellanious support configuration files and documentation. The compiled index file can be used for a regular print-out, for diskette pockets and for diskette lables. Indexes of most any combination of source file input can be made. These can be selective for whatever purpose or presented in any order and format option you wish. These programs serve no other purpose than to make indices and use all the data in the directories plus volume label and/ or subdirectory names as you select its format. I have a combined listing of what is on my harddrives and all diskettes. I used it to recognize duplications, duplicate file names and version updates and to ferret out non descript files for junking. Some files have been developed and are around in multi versions in various locations. This WSSINDEX lets you select and weed out the obsolete as well as make a more constructive set of directories. It also helps you to retire files, keeping just the original floppy or an inactive archive or library section, but still showing on your total library listing for tracability, and simpler harddisk management. It reqires you to give volume lables to each of your floppies and so you can file, find and store with its help. The index can be categorized, but this is limited to using one letter of the alphabet. Remarks can be enterred. This makes for a larger print-out line and is work to enter all the detail. Some will no doubt find the feature useful. The page index is great. The diskette pocket sized contents are limited to 40 files, the rest are truncated. Labels are both compressed and in fine print and are hard to read. The number of files is limited to about 10 and it selects these according the larger file byte count, which is not always the your preference.

It is wholly devoted to programs by Ron Brunton to whom we are indebted for some important, useful or intriguing software designed to work on the TIPC. The diskette contains a screen saver, system environment management programs and an illustrated catalog of mathematical, musical, business management, C language utility and programming support available from Computer Consultant Services, Wolfville, Nova Scotia, Canada. The catalog, strictly speaking, as advertisement is not the type of material we include in the Library. This one however is an excellent example of the use of the computer, showing another of its capabilities. It's this aspect that is reason to include it in the Library, and illustrates what we can also achieve. This is not intended to demean the programs offerred. They too are fine examples of using the machine to produce useful (to some) tools to do work, and at a very reasonable cost. They are all designed for application on the TI Pro. And, if they are not exactly your bag, you'll admit (I hope) that they are intriguing. Ron has made his catalog "come alive" with computerised examples. Read through it and try the examples by entering the numbers. The CC Screen Saver comes on the original distribution catalog diskette. As first intended, it is similar to a screen blanker, providing a continuously varying pattern that avoids screen burn in idle time. This program provides the pattern but not the program to activate it in the computer's idle condition, and therefore becomes simply a graphics doodle pattern that you instigate. The environment set of programs are a real asset. Until now, if the statement "out of environment space" shows, you're up the creek without a paddle! Not much you can do but back something out of it. And because management of the environment is not discussed as a subject in the manual we're left wondering: what are we talking about! The environment is not a particularly simple concept and here's not the place to discuss it at length. Suffice it to say it stores initial software configuration information. These are defined by statements, one of which is always entered by DOS and the remainder we put there using the PATH, PROMPT and/or SET commands. Ron gives us a way to expand it and control the problem. The initial DOS environment space is created by COMMAND.COM and ENV.BAT and ENVFIX change its instructions for creating it. ENV.BAT and ENVFIX require the availability of DEBUG. Place these files in the root directory of the system boot disk. ENV.BAT invokes DEBUG to look at the value which sets the space size in COMMAND.COM and uses the batch file ENVFIX to give the DEBUG commands to revise it. Initially in DOS 2.xx, the value is 0A (= 10) and ENVFIX changes it to 20h (= 32). This value is multiplied by 16 bytes changing the environment space from 160 to 512 bytes. You can restore the original value, or provide some other by editing line two in the ENVFIX file to another hexadecimal number. Type CATALOG and you are introduced to two mathematical program disks, Polynomial, and Surfacing; two utilities Copy-all and Labeller; a Music Maker program disk with considerable versatility; two C language aids and a tool for the study of demographic distributions, useful to businesses, political and organisations interested in area statistics. Each of these programs is written for the TI Pro and is provided with at least one example of the type of presentation output it will give. Polynomial: is a graphing tool to explore the nature of any polynomial curve and observe the effects of changing any of its variables. It has zoom capabilities in order to view sections of the curve in expanded detail. Surfacing: plots surfaces in 3 dimensions to show a mathematical expression in graphic form. Even if you have no interest in mathematics, the graphics are intriguing. To those interested, it is a tool that allows them to explore relationships. Copy-all: claims to help avoid mistakes using DOS COPY. You don't have to copy one file at a time and lets choose which files to copy. Protects one from copying on top of another file with the same name. You can view a file one page at a time. File size and space available on destination disk are displayed. Provides full control of the back-up process. It has two back-up modes - for current directory only and for the whole harddisk. It has an on screen reminder of last time the harddisk was backed up. Copies all files with flagged attributes and flag is turned off. Labeller: constructs and illustrates labels for any use: mailing, diskette, envelope etc.. Music Maker: enables the user to write music in standard notation with editorial features to move, copy, erase or transpose the key. Sheet music can be transcribed into tabular form for stringed instruments. Music written can be played in any musical scale and on the speaker. (The speaker is too small to do great justice to your masterpieces; but as a melody maker's tool this is more than worth the expense). C Function Library: used in conjunction with MS DOS LIB program; 130 functions. Saves programmer from reinventing the wheel. C Program Print Utility: a programming aid to write 'C' code, helping to catch the inadvertent syntax error, with nesting indentation and keyword highlighting aids. Similar in purpose to the EXPLIST program on disk 42 written for the BASIC language. Local Area Mapping System (LAMS): is a tool useful to map product population or service distributions over some area. It will be of interest to businesses, political, civic or commercial groups.

The most significant program on this disk is John Wheeler's annual edition of his template of the federal tax forms. Thanks John, we owe you our gratitude for sharing your effort with us for a sixth tax season. Seems you have earned a following for this yearly attraction. It's this type of program sharing that makes the Library's usefulness to us all. The tax program is a template placed on the Lotus 123 format. One calls up Lotus; use the forward slash menu to display options and select FORMS. This lands you in the next menu and you select RETRIEVE, which then asks you for a filename. Enter the drive (and path) where you have placed your TIUG disk and type: 89FEDTAX.WKS, which then displays the tax program inside the usual Lotus worksheet format. You hit and are given another top line menu from which you proceed with creating a file and viewing the instructions for completing the forms. As with the tax forms themselves there is only so much detail you can supply at the initial pass and have to go to the schedules to complete other details. The results from these other schedules are passed automatically to the 1040 form when you hit function key F9, and the calculations are all made for you. Alt-P gets the print menu with preset macros for some of the more usual printers. Incidentally, when entering your address at the start of things, hit either ', (that's apostrophe ), to enter it or ESC to skip over it. Because the printout is not certified by the IRS you have to transcribe the results manually to the official IRS forms. The template therefore gives you a "what if" capability and minimises arithmetic errors. The disk also contains some file management programs. DELBUT by Scott Pakin, deletes all except the matching files. NAME by Dana Nowell renames files, directories and volume labels without requiring that the directory be emptied. FDATE allows you to change the date and/ or time information of a file with a valid date. You could use this to unify release dates on associated program files you create. It also could be used to change the file time which has very little purpose, to become a file version number instead. For those who collect utility files and end up with updated versions of the same file, here is a way to put the version number right in the file's own data. DU gives the usage (sum of file sizes) for each directory and subdirectory on a drive. VTREEHP is a variation of the TREE command, obviously written more for the PC-DOS user, because MS-DOS TREE is equally informative and graphic, but you might prefer it. The following are notes by Don Wilson when passing along the following programs. SP is an interesting Print Spooler program. We already have a Print Spooler (SPOOLER.COM, I think) that builds a storage place in memory and stores commands going to the printer. Thus, using SPOOLER you can dump a large print job off to the printer - it will be stored in memory until the printer can handle it - you then can continue to do something else with the computer while the printer is still running on it's hidden task. This SP.COM works a little differently. This allows you to send things headed for the printer to a disk file that you name. This is sometimes handy when you want to take a look at the output before it wastes paper. Also, some programs don't give you the option to send their output to a disk file - using this program you can intercept commands going to the printer and save them in a disk file. Also, many of the programs that do give you an option of printing to a disk or to the printer just print the text file and do not include the printer control codes. Thus, when you send a Word Perfect file to a text file - you will lose the Underline and Bold that you would get if it went straight to the printer. The SP program preserves these commands so that you can print it as intended with the underlines, bolds, etc all preserved. Type "SP HELP " to get the short help instructions. After using the SP program to send an output to a disk file you must issue the "SP CLOSE" command to dump the file from memory to the disk and save it. Without this, the file never gets completed. DAYNBR is an interesting program. It allows you to number files by the julian number of the day - from one to 366. This can be used to renumber common name files to preserve their individuality. As an example, I have a log file for the BBS that generates a file called BBS.LOG. However, if I don't do anything, it will keep appending log items to the file until the file becomes too big and runs out of disk space. A log file is most handy if you can quickly locate the particular day's file that you are looking for. Therefore you can make a batch file that will automatically change the name of the log file to a daynumber and then insert it into a ZIP compressed file to save disk space and also keep each day's file individually. If you put this in your AUTOEXEC.BAT you will be able to run this kind of file on a daily basis (provided this comes after you enter the new day's date)! PKZ102.EXE is a self-extracting, compressed file. When you run the program it will take the internal files out and expand them automagically. The main files inside are the PKZIP and PKUNZIP used to compress files to save disk space or make transmission faster. ZIP packs files significantly tighter than ARC - and v.102 is the latest. Now, I've added three programs MAPMEM, MARK and MEMSCAN that have to do with exploring and understanding the core memory. There is no explanation and you're left on your own as to their significance. There is an update to PALERT, first available on disk #29. This is a terminal-stay-resident program which produces a bar graph presentation of the usage of the drive it is in. It can be used as an alarm preventing programs from executing without sufficient free memory to complete. Like many other TSR programs it could be placed in the AUTOEXEC.BAT. Since TSR programs are bad neighbors among themselves, an alternative is to put it in one of the KEYSxxxx overlays of Dave Schmidt's Function Key Organizer, where you can call it from time to time. In addition, there are two other programs by Norm Patriquin, PDEL and PATTR, which provide a more protected and selective file delete function. This leaves mention of the one remaining file LIBRARY. This is an updated listing of the files on disk in our Library. It is revised every fifth disk issue. The file is archived and you will need one of Buttonware's PC-File III programs to review it. You can sort and select the files that interest you. I would like to make a plea: my resources of new programs are quite limited. I know a number of you search through some of the bulletin boards and other sources. The "Professionallly Speaking" has had mention of programs available in other groups which seem of value to the authors, that we do not have. Will you not share your findings with us; the Library depends on a variety of inputs of diverse interests. My time is fully occupied with the disk compilation, editing, description, publication, duplication and selliing of the disks and there simply isn't the time to give to searching and acquiring new program material as well. It's your User Group and the Library depends on you too.

The whole diskette is devoted to one program KBPAINT. It is a program for use on the TI Pro only. It was brought to us by Ed Cameron who has been in contact with Kent Briggs of Waco, TX. Kent had used to offer his program as shareware. You paid him a nominal fee and he would send a registration code. With this you could open up the program's remaining files. He has decided to stop actively supporting the program and to make it available to user groups like our own. It is a very complete graphics editor. The change makes it a freeware version of the program on disk #38. It is still worthy of your recognition of the effort and integrity of the program and urge you to send his suggested registration fee, even though there will be no further growth to the program. I feel sure he would straighten out any difficulties you might encounter in using the program.

Five of the programs are ZIPed. The latest version of PKUNZIP is on the disk. All you have to do is type PKUNZIP FORMLTRS and you will get the contents of the FORMLTRS.ZIP group of files. We will use this method more and more since it has the dual merits of compressing the files and of combiming associated files together into a group, using one name. RONBO This is a file that belongs more on diskette #46. It had to be removed to make room for the DISK.DOC. It is not certain what it is, but belongs to the KB-PAINT package. Believed to be a graphics of "Ronbo". FORMLTRS Is an "assemblage" of some 100 form letters. If you are short of an idea of how to address some correspondence, here are a 100 posssible choices covering about as many issues. LIST73D LIST reads directories and employs selection filters and sort capabilities to file or to display subgroups of the directory. It comes in three different versions with increasing power and includes DEL, COPY, MOVE, VIEWARC, PATH, RENAME and SORT functions. It looks to be a very powerful tool altogether and mostly for the sophisticated computer user. The program is made available to us by Vernon D Buerg. As is to be expected it is written for the IBM keyboard and includes a use of a number of keys we do not have marked as namaed. These key equivalents are: Pg-up = Alt Cursor-up Pg-dn = Alt Cursor-down End = Alt Line Feed ^End = Ctl Line Feed ^Pg-up = Ctl Cursor-up ^Pg-dn = Ctl Cursor-down TAX89 This is the tax preparation program brought along by Connie Graham. It is a shareware program that requires IBMULATE to run. If you use it, you are asked to send in your registration fee. Though late in the tax season there are some additional capabilities offered to the registered user. WARMBOOT This replaces the . Since one normally uses the warm reboot key combination when the keyboard is locked, how do we enter WARMBOOT at the time we need it? Obviously, this not the answer. Is it a replacement for NOBOOM? (We do not have this program on disk yet -- it's coming. NOBOOM stalls the "System 1042" lockup). BATCHTUT This is an interesting tutorial on the use of batch files. It provides hands-on demonstration of writing and using batch file commands. The tutorial has some additional commands to make richer and more user friendly presentations. These include the ability to ask the session user for yes/ no/ ESC responses; the ability to respond with an extended function key; an ability to determine the equipment both present and active, i.e drive B with its door closed; find a file on any active drive. The tutor requires MORE.COM. The one provided with the program did not function on the TI and is replaced. This tutorial is also written for the IBM keyboard and the same equivalent keys as noted above can be used where required.

For the first time we have assembled enough Utility programs to justify producing a disk entirely devoted to a single type of program. Unlike the previous disks that were mostly menu selectable, this disk has no menu. All programs must be called and used individually. The CWEEP program is a multi-function utility that tends to combine many functions in its own menu; but, it is an exception in that way. Some of the programs use color but none of them use graphics and so all should run well with or without the color-graphics board. Some of the programs will require DOS 2.11 and the EMULATE program to run. Some of these programs adapt themselves to use on several disks. Some are more selective and may be more useful an a special "editing" disk. With that in mind, it might be helpful to put additional DOS editing files on your Utility Disk. At the least you will want to put the DOS operating files on the disk with the command. Additionally you may want to add the EMULATE.COM, RAMDISK.DEV, EDLIN.COM, DEBUG.COM and FILATR.EXE files from the DOS 2.11 disk. As with previous disks, it is recommended that you prepare a working copy of this disk and save the Original Library Disk as a backup. To do so, format a new disk with the option. If you are using the DOS 2.11 you should format in 9 sectors to get additional room on the disk. Then copy the above DOS files, as desired, onto your new working disk. Finally copy the files from this disk to your new disk with a command. Some of these files have appeared on previous disks and are repeated here to pull them all together. Many of them are new and are the result of the efforts of several of our members who have down-loaded them from Bulletin Boards. Special recognition should go to Sig Schuldiner and Dean Fetterolf whos efforts have been especially helpful. It would be of interest to the UG and to the Librarian especially to know if the members like the idea of disks with a single theme -- ie Utility, Games, Business Programs, etc -- and whether the Utilities are of general use to the membership or only to a few of the members.
