	All you always wanted to put in an environment variable and
 never dare to ask DOS for...

        XSET: The way to easily write efficient batch files.


	XSET allows you to put EVERYTHING you want in a variable of
 the current environment and use it as if you gave it the value with
 the standard DOS command 'SET'. You will be able to write very efficient
 batch files including string manipulation, calculation,...

	XSET is the more powerful environment variable manipulation
 program you never saw. It also has the easiest and most intuitive
 user interface it is possible to write (very closed to the DOS 'SET'
 command).


 XSET is fully compatible with MS-DOS 5.0, DR-DOS 6.0, NDOS & 4DOS 4.0.


 XSET has five major features:
 ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ

  - XSET permits to catch the output of any command (internal or external)
    or program and put it into an environment variable.

  - XSET has several built-in commands to modify the output of a program
    or a string given on the command-line (extract a part of a string,...)

  - XSET has a built-in full floating-point calculation functionalitie:
                        ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ

    You can make incremental loops, input a calculation string and
    output a number,...

  - XSET can manage variable contents of more than 128 characters
    (your path can now be as long as you want)

  - XSET has some other built-in commands to give you access to some
    system datas (date, time, ...)
                  
  - XSET has built-in commands to clear all environment or restore a
    previously saved one.


  More than 45 commands to let you do all what you need.


Remark: latest version of XSET is always available
        at SIMTEL-20  pd1:<msdos.batutl>xsetXXX.zip
     or at garbo.uwasa.fi:/pc/envutil/xsetXXX.zip

        (current version is 2.60)
