Scanned with F-Prot Antivirus 3.14d, March 16 2004 sigs, no viruses!
OK Job so far, Cmaza. If you programmed that in QuickBasic I may be able to help you.
Some suggestions:
AutoPath: When you type a command in AutoPath mode, it looks all over the hard drive for executables that match the name of your command.
Example: Type CHESS and press Enter
1. CHESS.BAT found in C:\GAMES\CHESS
2. CHESS.COM found in D:\CM4000
3. CHESS.EXE found in C:\GAMES\CHESS
4. CHESS.EXE found in C:\BACKUP\GAMES\CHESS
5. CHESS.COM found in A:\
Type 3 and press Enter, It automatically changes dir to C:\GAMES\CHESS and runs CHESS.EXE.
AutoComplete: If you type J and press enter, and there is only one executable file in the current dir that starts with J, run that executable.
If there are JOHN.EXE and JIM.EXE, typing JI and pressing Enter will run JIM.EXE.
If there are JIMMY.EXE and JINGLE.BAT, JIM will get you JIMMY.EXE and JIN will get you JINGLE.BAT. If you only type JI, give "Ambiguous command" error message.
Delete All Except: DAE FRED.TXT will delete all files in current dir except FRED.TXT
PC Speaker Silencer: QUIET command to prevent PC Speaker from making noise.
Advanced Power Management: Activate APM functions with something like
APM /STANDBY, go into Standby
APM /SUSPEND, go into Suspend
APM /HDOFF, turn off Hard drive
...and maybe more than that.
Color Changer: COLOR /BLUE makes the text turn blue. Do same for other colors.
Screen Adjustments: LINES 50 makes the screen 50 lines tall. COLUMNS 40 makes the screen 40 chars wide.
CPU Identification: Type CPU, and it will tell you what CPU you have
ATX Soft-Off: For ATX power supplies, have a command that automatically turns off the computer.
CMOS Killer: Command that clears the contents of CMOS RAM (to get rid of forgotten passwords and the like)
CD Player: Command PLAYCD to play music CDs
Display Reset: When you quit some DOS games, they mess up the screen. A command to reset screen settings to normal defaults.
Cold Reboot: Sometimes, CTRL-ALT-DEL is not good enough. Also, CAD is not runnable from a batch file. Have a command that reboots (cold or warm).
File Encryption: Encrypt text files with a password to decrypt them.
TSR Remover: Remove TSRs from memory (many TSRs don't offer a way to remove them without rebooting.)
Floppy Disk High Format: Integrate ability to fit more than 1.44 MB on a floppy disk.
ZIP File Directories: Allow ZIP files to be treated as directories
CD Burning: Allow the COPY command to burn CDs. Allow the DEL command to delete files from CD-RWs.
RAM Eater: A program that consumes some RAM to test a program's ability to run with less RAM.
RAM Tester: Tests RAM like Scandisk tests hard drives
Devices: Load SYS files from command prompt (something you can generally only do in CONFIG.SYS).
Partition Resizer: Make partitions smaller/bigger. Merge partitions.
Hard Drive Marriage: Make 2 hard drives like 1 big hard drive with 1 big partition.
Drive Overlay: Allow 486s and earlier to use all space on big hard drives. Allow Pentium 1's to use drives bigger than 8.4 GB.
Resolution: Allow DOS to use 800x600, 1024x768, etc.
Refresh Rate: Allow DOS to use refresh rates higher than 60 Hz on monitor.
Benchmark: Various tests to see how fast a computer is compared to other computers
Simple Network: Allow 2 computers to exchange files
Simple Virus Protection: Save a copy of the boot sector, and compare the current boot sector with the backup copy on every boot-up. If there is a difference, issue a warning.
Beep: Command to make the PC Speaker beep
That's all I can think of right now.
