FILE2650.TXT
Disk No: 2650
Disk Title: BLANK-IT, PIK, and BOTHSIDES
PC-SIG Version: S1
Program Title: Blank-It
Author Version: 4.1A
Author Registration: $10.00/$15.00
Special Requirements: Hard drive.
BLANK-IT is a program that will black out the computer display after a
certain "timeout" period to prevent screen burning. "Burn-in," not an
uncommon problem, results from allowing a computer screen to display the
same image for long periods of time, and can ruin a monitor.
As long as the computer keyboard is in use, there's no evidence that
BLANK-IT is even running. However, if the keyboard is left untouched for
several minutes (customizeable from 1 to 59 minutes), then the screen
will automatically blank. When the space bar is pressed, the screen will
reappear and the user will be right where he or she left off.
BLANK-IT contains several advanced features, such as a quick-blank "hot
key" (sometimes referred to as a "Boss Key"), and the ability to
enable/disable BLANK-IT while it's loaded. It uses only 528 bytes of
memory, works during high speed communication, and has added support for
graphics mode.
Program Title: PIK
Author Version: 1.20
Author Registration: $7.00/$15.00
Special Requirements: Hard drive.
PIK is a useful little 32K utility which allows you to pick files from
the standard DOS "DIR" display to mark for Deleting, Copying, Moving or
Zipping into a Zip format compressed file.
How many times have you typed "DIR" to examine the contents of a
directory and seen several files which should be moved, deleted, or
stored for later use in ZIP format. Typing the commands necessary to
accomplish the task could take some time. By typing "PIK," you can
select the files upon which to perform the necessary operation right
from the display left behind by the "DIR" command. Once the files have
been marked, you just press ENTER and you are on your way to keeping
your files updated.
Program Title: BothSides
Author Version: 3.5
Author Registration: $10.00/$15.00
Special Requirements: Hard drive.
As its name indicates, BOTHSIDES formats text files of any pagination
method so they can be printed to both sides of your printer paper. The
program can send your file directly to the printer. First it prints the
odd numbered pages, then stops to let you turn the paper over and prints
the even numbered pages.
It can also format your text files by paginating them and printing a
footer containing title line and page number at the bottom of every
page. In addition, you can specify an inside margin to leave more room
for binder holes!
Imagine how much paper you could save and how much thinner your
documentation will be from all the shareware packages you print out!
