echo Here are brief details of what they do - see PCPLUS for more:
echo.
echo CGA2 - This handy little routine emulates a CGA colour screen on a
echo Hercules mono monitor. Run the emulator before running the
echo CGA program you want to use. It will work with about 60% of
echo colour CGA programs, though there is a speed penalty incurred.
echo.
echo EXPLORER - Possibly the smallest disk sector dump routine in the world.
echo In under 2K, this little wonder will show you all the inner
echo details of your disk files.
echo.
echo LFC - This file display utility combines the file length display of
echo the MS-DOS DIR command with the extra files per line of the /W
echo parameter.
echo.
echo WD - A normal file delete under MS-DOS simply removes the entry from
echo the File Allocation Table (FAT), leaving the space available for
echo another file to be saved over the top of it. WD wipes the whole
echo surface of the disk, leaving it completely blank.
echo.
echo ** WARNING **
echo THERE IS NO WAY OF RECOVERING FILES THAT HAVE BEEN ERASED WITH WD!
