ExtraDOS Toolbox Professionalþ is a compilation of powerful and sophisticated
tools for MS-DOS users. The programs offer functionality; some enhance programs
already found in MS-DOS, other tools were familiar to the Unix world and are
now available in MS-DOS. ExtraDOS also compliments PC Tools and Norton
utilities by offering many features not found in these packages. The quality of
our tools will allow you to work faster, smarter and better.

Paul Somerson, former Executive Editor of PC Magazine, has selected over 30 of
ExtraDOS' utilities for his Bantam Books publication, DOS Power Tools, 2nd
Edition, Revised for DOS 5.0.

           span of the cleaning floppy rather than just using a small portion
           of the cleaning diskette.

           unused or duplicate files on your hard and floppy drives. Quickly

           treats fixed tabs differently.

DISKINFO   Reads the boot sector of a disk and then makes a DOS call to find
           out the information that DOS has for that disk. It will then list

           the reports from DOS and the boot record.

FILESIZE*  Displays a list of files and their respective sizes with summary

           time, and any attributes associated with the file.

HELP       HELP prints out help messages on some of the more useful and popular
           DOS commands.

HEXDUMP*  Provides you a quick dump of the contents of any file.  The advantage
          of HEXDUMP is that you can quickly dump the contents of any file to
          the screen without having to load the overhead of a shell program.



HUSH*     A utility that can eliminate a majority of the sounds generated by
          the PC's internal speaker.

          handy when you are trying to locate a similar program or file that
          could exist in multiple places in your path statement.

PSPRINT   Allows you to print DOS ASCII Text files on a PostScript device without
          the usual conversion.

SCRNATTR* Sets the foreground, background and border colors at the DOS prompt.

SPEEDRAM* Increases the speed of your system CPU by changing the refresh rate
          of your system's 8253 timer chip. SpeedRam should increase your CPU's
          performance from 2% to 10%.
