WHATFMT.ZIP | Yes | 69682 | 4/30/1991 | WHAT?format identifies the program used to create a specified file. It can distinguish among 30 of the most popular word processors, including different versions of the same program. It can also identify ASCII, EBCDIC, PostScript, PCL, etc., as well as database, spreadsheet, graphic, archives, Windows fonts and other formats. If you have ever come across a data file and did not know what type it was, this is the utility for you. WHAT?format will also set errorlevel for use by a batch file. A batch file is included that shows you how to use this utility to sort different types of graphics files into different subdirectories. (Boots & Pepper) (Reg.Fee: $15) |
WHATIS.ZIP | Yes | 10282 | 12/11/1990 | WhatIs 1.2 tells you if a file is an executable or not, which is useful if you have downloaded a file and didn't put an extension on it. It can also tell what compiler was used to create it, though we are not sure what you can do with that information. It will detect LZEXE-compressed files, as well. (J.E. Smith) (Reg.Fee: $5) |

XEQ.ZIP | Yes | 14534 | 9/9/1993 | COM File Library and Command Executor 1.5 lets you combine several of those small, useful, but disk-space-eating COM programs into one XEQ file from which you can run the programs. Keep in mind that this only works with programs with COM extensions, not EXE, and is of limited or no value with large programs. The point of XEQ is that a 200 byte COM file actually takes up disk space in the amount of whatever your drive's minimum allocation unit of disk space is, which could be as much as 8,000 bytes. By combining, even with 2k clusters, you could cram 10 of the 200-byte COM files into the space usually used by one. (Colin J. Stearman) (Reg.Fee: $0) |
ZERO_430.ZIP | Yes | 13876 | 3/18/1994 | Zero 4.30 makes zero length files. (PsL Note: You can also make a zero length file by entering REM > FILENAME at the DOS prompt.) (James Huckabey) (Reg.Fee: $0) |
