            Whenever  I  want  to  print  out  a simple text file, I
       usually  end  up  using  DOS's  PRINT.EXE.   I  hate  it!  It
       installs itself into memory and I have  enough  stuff  there.
       What  I  wanted  was  something  to replace PRINT.EXE without
       loading up an editor  or  word  processor.   What I found was
       PrintFile by John Campion.  PF is a very simple command  line
       utility.   All it does is print a text file.  There isn't any
       fancy menus or complicated  commands, but when it's finished,
       it's gone!  It's great!  It does have a few switches that you
       can use, such as skipping perforations and  page  feeds.   To
       use it, from the command line, type:
       
       PF [options] filename
       
            It's  that  easy.  Like I said, PF is nothing fancy, but
       it does exactly what I wanted.
       
       
        Program Name: KILBAK ver 5.0
       BBS File Name: KILBAK5.ZIP
        Program Type: .BAK file deleter

            If you do any kind  of  text editing, you'll most always
       end up with a lot of backup files.  These usually have a .BAK
       extension.  Every text editor I've seen uses this method,  as
       does  many  word processors.  Soon, you'll find yourself with
       these backup  files  scattered  all  over  your  hard drives.
       KILBAK will scan all of your hard drives and will delete  any
       file  it finds with the .BAK extension.  The default it .BAK,
       but you can have it  "search  and destroy" any file extension
       you specify.  You can also control what drives it  will  work
       on.
       
            This program could save you a  lot of disk space - you'd
       be surprised how much is used by these unneeded backup files.
       Just be careful, as this program can be unforgiving!
       
       
        Program Name: ATTRB ver 1.6
       BBS File Name: ATTRB16.ZIP
        Program Type: File attribute changer

            Have you ever tried to use DOS's ATTRIB command?  It can
       get a bit confusing, especially when you want to do more than
       one file at a time.  Mr.  Lee has developed  a  program  that
       makes changing a files attribute fast and easy.
       
            First,  let's  explain  what  these are.  If you were to
       type ATTRIB at the command line, you would be shown a list of
       files in  the  current  directory.   Preceding  some of these
       files, you would see one  or  more  letters.   These  can  be
       A,R,H, and/or S.
       
       [A]  = ARCHIVE.  This means that the file has been backed up,
       either  with  DOS's  BACKUP,  EXCOPY,  or  any  other  backup
       program.
       
       [R] = READ ONLY.  A file  that is READ ONLY cannot be deleted
       or changed in any way.  It can  be  viewed  etc,  but  it  is
       protected from any manipulation.
       
       [H]  =  HIDDEN.  A file that is HIDDEN does not show when you
       use the  DOS  DIR  command.   However,  most  of  todays file
       mangers and shells will show them.
       
       [S] = SYSTEM.  These are files that are used by  your  system
       and  are  best  left  alone.   You'll see these as IO.SYS and
       MSDOS.SYS.
       
            To use, just type  ATTRB  at  the command line.  A small
       box on the right of the screen shows the files in the current
       directory along with the attributes assigned  to  each  file.
       You  can  change to any directory or file within the box.  To
       change an attribute, just highlight the file and hit A,R,H or
       S. A large box  in  the  center  of  the screen gives you the
       available commands.  Everything you need to know is right  on
       the  screen.   However,  if you don't understand what a files
       attributes are, it may be  wise  to pass on this program.  If
       you are familiar with the way DOS (and other programs) handle
       files, you'll find this a valuable little utility.
       
            ATTRIB.EXE can be registered separately, or as  part  of
       Mr.   Lee's HandyDOS utility package.  The entire package has
       a registration fee of $25.  Truly a bargain.
