Name Version Executable Source Description
Wildcards 1.02 wildcard.zip wildcard.tgz (C++) This program only allows the input file to be wildcarded*, but does allow for the inclusion of switches - these switches will be used everytime the client program is called.
txt2htm 1.03d txt2htm.zip txt2htm.tgz This program is NOT the best txt2htm converter by a long shot, it was simply a quick hack for a purpose and I though others might find it useful.
htm2txt 1.30 htm2txt.zip htm2txt.tgz This program can be used with Wildcard to strip the html from a group of files.  This program does a VERY limited conversion.  All it does is remove the tags and convert the escape codes back to their normal character equivalents.
man2txt 1.00 man2txt.zip man2txt.tgz (C++) Unix Man page to Text/Html Converter
mail2cnv 1.00c mail2cnv.zip mail2cnv.tgz (C++) This program will filter an email message and grab the "Subject:" and "From:" lines and add them to either a HTML or plain TEXT file. The message is then copied verbatim (except for html paragraph formatting tags) into the document, which can now be easily viewed without a heap of email address stuff at the top!
txt2cpp 1.00 txt2cpp.zip txt2cpp.tgz (C++) Will convert text to C++ cout statements, or the equivalent ofstream file statements. Will also convert text to printf, and fputs file statements.
replace 1.1e replace.zip replace.tgz (C++) A program that allows the replacing of certain phrases within a text file, uses C like escape sequences. Use "replace /?" for help with special characters.
txt2bin 1.01 txt2bin.zip txt2bin.tgz Used to turn a text file into binary (and vice versa). Can be used to fix text files that have multiple ^M's to each ^J
size 1.0 size.zip size.tgz Gives space left and total size of disks
setfdate 1.01 setfdate.zip setfdate.tgz (C++) Allows for the changing of file dates and times.
makelgth None makelgth.zip makelgth.tgz You can make a file of any length - for program testing purposes.
times None times.zip times.tgz A VERY simple calculator.
calc None calc.zip calc.tgz (Lex) A complex calculator program that allows the use of round brackets, ABS and SQR functions. A university project, using flex...
crypt 1.02 crypt102.zip crypt102.tgz A simple crypto program, that can encrypt a block of data up to 1000 times!  Pass Keys up to 1024 characters!  32 Bit Program. New compressed version (only 53K).
kill None kill.zip kill.tgz This program is a filter for MS-DOS® 6.xx Deltree© program, to help prevent a catastrophe, by the rampant use of "*.*".

Source Files

Except for crypt and fortune, the sources are all Borland 3.1 (Dos) specific, although this is very easy to change in many cases. For instance most of them will compile quite happily with GNU DJGPP version 2.0. What a wonderful, and FREE compiler this is!. If you would like to know more, try www.delorie.com/djgpp 

Library: mylib.h & mylib.c

These two files are required for many of the source files.

The library archived: mylib.tgz


DPMI Support for DJGPP programs
