Enhancing DOS has become a national pastime for weekend programmers and
corporations, each bringing you their promising product.  That often means
changing over to another operating system, one that will be obsolete if it
does not bear a mighty industrial name. Suppose you don't want to change over.
Not yet.  Suppose you might be happy if you could just have a few more
commands to suit your needs, a minor enhancement here or there, a replacement
where merited?  That strain of logic lead me to develop several programs, four
included here, to give a little light to what appears to be the last days of
DOS.


             INCLUDED IN THIS .ZIP PACK ARE FOUR COMMANDS:


                         1.       TYPE2.COM
                         2.       DV.COM
                         3.       CPRINT.COM
                         4.       PRINT.COM


     for information, type "/?" after each command to access help:

                              type2 /?
                              dv /?
                              cprint /?
                              print /?

I recommend either putting these files in their own directory and adding
that directory to the PATH section in your AUTOEXEC.SYS file or simply
copying these three files to your DOS directory, which is easier.  You can
also place them in your main C:> (or whatever drive you use) directory as
long as the PATH setting includes that directory.  Once properly installed,
the commands can be accessed as any other DOS command, either from the
command line or from a batch (.bat) file via the CALL command.


These programs are FREEWARE, complete and self-contained.  No registrations
are necessary.  Enjoy.  Take care.
