| CPATH.ZIP | Yes | 1930 | 8/10/1994 | CPATH is a 4k TSR which displays the current directory PATH just like "PROMPT $p$g" does, except when on floppies. The assumption is that you don't usually use subdirectories on floppies, and not displaying the PATH there saves the delay caused by reading the floppy to get the PATH, as well as obviating the "Abort, Retry, Ignore" you would get if a disk were not in the drive when you changed to it. (Richard W. Prescott) (Reg.Fee: $0) |

| HC.ZIP | Yes | 22398 | 9/13/1993 | HelpCOM 1.2 lets you add a help screen to any COM program. You simply prepare a help screen in straight ASCII (text) and use HelpCOM to append it to the program file. Then when you type the program name followed by a question mark, the help screen will be displayed. This is great for those little utilities which don't offer a help screen of their own. (Geoff Friesen) (Reg.Fee: $0) |
| HILOAD.ZIP | Yes | 17406 | 6/18/1990 | HILoad will load TSR's into what should be unused parts of memory. The documentation has a very good explanation of how memory is used and what memory should be available to you. Useful if you have to use older versions of DOS or can't use a memory manager for some reason. (Larry Shannon) (Reg.Fee: $0) |
| LASTRES.ZIP | Yes | 11331 | 5/29/1989 | Last Resort 1.0 gets you out of those system lock-ups which normally make you do a Ctrl-Alt-Del. It cannot get you out of the hard lock-ups of the type which even ignore Ctrl-Alt-Del and make you turn the power off and back on (or hit Reset) to reboot. We have had utilities of this type before which did not work well, but LastResort seems to work fine. In cases where it might not be able to let you exit a program gracefully, it will also let you copy files from a RAM disk to other disks so that you don't lose them if you have to reboot. This feature could be useful even apart from system lock-ups. (Dr. Masaaki Sawada) (Reg.Fee: $10) |
| MARXPOP.ZIP | Yes | 29302 | 3/18/1993 | MarxPop lets you turn any program into a pop-up TSR loaded into high memory. Up to 10 different programs can be loaded.

The memory of your computer is divided into several channels, each like a separate computer with its own screen and ability to run a program. (The authors are no longer at the address listed in the documentation.) (Awesome Technology, Inc.) (Reg.Fee: $0) |
| NP2.ZIP | Yes | 6713 | 5/29/1989 | Nosy Prompter loads into memory (5k) and thereafter warns you any time you have shelled to DOS from some program. NP warns you by adding the names of any shelled programs to the end of your DOS prompt. NP2 is for you if you have ever shelled to DOS, forgotten that you had done so, and then forgot to go back and save your work or tried to load another program and run out of memory. Asssembler source code is included. (Russell Nelson) (Reg.Fee: $0) |
| ONCALL.ZIP | Yes | 88927 | 3/7/1994 | On-Call manages memory-resident (TSR/pop-up) programs. By swapping the programs to a disk drive until they are needed, On-Call can limit the memory required by all of your TSR's to that required of the largest TSR plus the 40k that On-Call uses itself. For example, if your largest TSR is 100k and you would like to use four smaller TSR's that total another 200k, On-Call will swap the smaller ones in and out of memory until needed, using just 100k for the largest and 40k for itself. This swapping only works if the TSR's are the kind that only do something when you pop them up, such as Sidekick, not the kind that must always be active to monitor the system, such as a keyboard macro program or a screen blanker. (Forest Hill Software, Inc) (Reg.Fee: $25-$55) |
| OVERHEAD.ZIP | Yes | 14762 | 6/2/1987 | Overhead tells you how much the TSRs and drivers you use are slowing down processing time. To do this, it has the CPU execute a bunch of instructions and tells you how long it took, once with the TSRs loaded and once without. (Ed Ross) (Reg.Fee: $0) |
| PMAP.ZIP | Yes | 32239 | 7/3/1991 | PMap 2.10 displays memory usage statistics for both DOS RAM and EMS. We use this primarily as a quick way to see what TSR's are in memory and how much space they take, as well as to see if we have shelled to DOS from some program and forgotten about it. Features allow you to display only DOS memory, display device driver info, and display only expanded memory and show the segment address of the environment. You can also specify which TSR names to look at by entering the first letter of the name. (Christopher J. Dunford) (Reg.Fee: $0) |
| POPUP.ZIP | Yes | 81380 | 4/10/1992 | PopUp 1.12 turns any program into a TSR using only 6K of DOS RAM. It supports swapping to EMS, XMS, and disk, and can pop up when you are at the DOS prompt and pop up over 43-line EGA and 50-line VGA displays, in addition to the normal 25-line mode. (RC Software) (Reg.Fee: $29) |
| PRMPTER.ZIP | Yes | 6322 | 6/9/1991 | Prompter lets you add your choice of colorful illustrations to your DOS prompt. Included are 50 different pictures, including stars, castle, eyes, and Godzilla. Since the "pictures" must be drawn with ASCII characters, some are pretty weak, but others are very good. (William J. Ball) (Reg.Fee: $5) |
| PRMT.ZIP | Yes | 1555 | 10/29/1991 | Prmt is a batch file that sets your DOS prompt to display a message and/or time and date at the top of the screen. (Reg.Fee: $0) |

| RESDEL.ZIP | Yes | 2746 | 5/29/1989 | ResDel & Tablev lets you remove resident utilities from memory. Resdel works a little differently than the Mark/Release utilities in that the latter will remove all TSR's back to the last Mark, while Resdel will let you strip out one at a time without having to "mark" each one first. It also provides a means to remove all TSR's at once. (Ed Jordan) (Reg.Fee: $?) |
| RESQ32.ZIP | Yes | 19956 | 7/28/1993 | Resq 3.2 allows recovery of text otherwise lost in the computer. RESQ saves buffered text, left in your computer's RAM before it was written to disk. If you've ever lost hard-won text due to a word-processing glitch, or forgotten to save that text file you just downloaded, or had to use the fire exit while testing a new program, or given the wrong answer to "Abandon current version?", you can use RESQ.
