China DOS Union

Microsoft
MS-DOS and Windows

http://david.tribble.com/programs.html

Caveat:
Unless otherwise noted, most of these programs were originally written and compiled on 16-bit MS-DOS, and may not work very well when run on 32-bit Windows, especially in the way that they fail to handle long file names.



bin2bmp.exe
Converts a binary data file into a BMP image file.
Some people, to my surprise, have actually found this program useful.

bmpdump.exe
Dumps the contents of a BMP bitmap image file in hexadecimal form.

cat.exe
Catenates the contents of one or more files, writing to the standard output (a la the Unix 'cat' utility). Similar to the DOS 'type' command, but better. Has several options for converting between different end-of-line conventions.

chtime.exe (32-bit DOS)
Modifies the timestamp of one or more files (a la the Unix 'touch' utility).

detab.exe
Converts the tabs in a text file into spaces.

diskuse.exe
Displays the free and used space on a disk drive.

ebcdic.exe
Converts an ASCII file into EBCDIC or vice versa.

entab.exe
Tabifies a text file by converting spaces into tabs.

filldisk.bat (16-bit and 32-bit DOS)
Documentation: filldisk.html
Fills a hard drive with many large random data files, effectively erasing all the unused and deleted file blocks和on the drive.

fsplit.exe
Splits a large file into several smaller files. The smaller files may be recombined using the DOS 'copy' command or my 'cat' utility.

fstat.exe
Displays information about files. The information displayed can be tailored using a number of formatting options.

gifdump.exe
Dumps the contents of a GIF bitmap image file in hexadecimal form.

hdump.exe (32-bit DOS)
Dumps the contents of one or more files in hexadecimal and character form.

head.exe
Displays the first few lines of a text file (a la the Unix 'head' utility).

reboot.com
Reboots the computer.
Admittedly, this is not very useful.

scram.exe
Documentation: scram.doc
Encodes or decodes a binary or text file into a text-only format suitable for emailing. Handles different end-of-line conventions for text files.

snow.exe
Fills a 320x200 VGA display with 'snow'.
Admittedly, this is not very useful.

tcopy.exe
Copies files to a destination directory if they don't exist or are out of date。Similar to the DOS 'replace' command, but better. Has several options for controlling how the copying takes place.

tee.exe (32-bit DOS)
Copies standard input to standard output and to one or more files (a la the Unix 'tee' utility).

tod.com
Simple utility that displays the time and date.

unicode.exe
Converts an ASCII text file into Unicode or vice versa. Handles big-endian or little-endian encoding.

uniq.exe
Removes adjacent duplicate text lines from standard input (a la the Unix 'uniq' utility).

vdate.exe
Displays the current date and time. The output can be tailored using a number of formatting options.

vecho.com
Simple utility for writing arbitrary characters and escape sequences to standard output (a la the Unix 'echo' utility). Similar to the DOS 'echo' command, but more sophisticated.

vfind.exe (32-bit DOS)
Locates file and directory names matching specified wildcarded names and other search criteria. Recognizes long file names if running in a Windows shell.

what.exe (32-bit DOS)
Searches for "what" strings embedded within files (similar to the Unix 'what' utility). Such strings are prefixed by the character sequence "@(#)" and typically contain source revision information about the file. Many source code revision control systems, notably SCCS, use these embedded "what" strings to track the source code used to build executables and libraries.

whence.exe
Locates the files corresponding to specified commands by searching the current PATH settings.

wordc.exe
Simple utility that counts the number of characters, lines, and words in one or more text files.

CMDOW Commandline Window Utility

cmdow @ /HID
start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\Applications\***.exe

http://www.commandline.co.uk/cmdow/

Here are some different examples of how you can use it on your UA CD/DVD to prevent those windows from opening:
Quietly execute any commandline argument:
CODENirCMD ExeCMD "RD /S /Q "~$folder.common_start_menu$\Programs\**** NFO Viewer""
Run an application invisibly:
CODENirCMD Exec hide "~$Nir.Exefile$\Applications\Setup.exe" /S
Hide/close/move a window:
CODENirCMD win close ititle "cmd.exe"

iskeydown Checks if a key is pressed
http://upload.cn-dos.net/img/794.rar

For example, check if the pressed key is Enter, Space or ESC key

@echo off

:bgn

pause

iskeydown VK_ESCAPE

If %errorlevel%==0 echo You pressed the  key

iskeydown VK_SPACE

If %errorlevel%==0 echo You pressed the  key

iskeydown VK_RETURN

If %errorlevel%==0 echo You pressed the  key

goto bgn

Usage:

usage: iskeydown <key1>
iskeydown /list

iskeydown checks if all of the keys given on the command line
are currently pressed. it returns 0 if are all pressed,
1 if not all are down and 2 if an error occurred.

you can either use the vk_xyz windows api key names or the
numerical scancode values

e.g. "iskeydown vk_left vk_shift" returns 0 only if the
left arrow key and one of the shift keys are pressed.

iskeydown /list prints a list of all known keycodes to stdout.

————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

iskeydown.exe is one of Batch tools 1.0 (It seems this thing is no longer on the official website..) The total list:

a few command line utilities to simplify the batch script editor's life a bit. all tools are released under the terms of the gnu gpl (except for 3rd party units), delphi 7 sources are included.
some of the tools (crc1632, direxist, macid and nocrlf) can also be compiled with turbo pascal 5.5 to create a dos version of them. the package contains these tools:
- crc1632: calculate the crc16 or crc32 for files or text from stdin
- direxist: test for directory existence. sets errorlevel to 0 if the given path exists, and to 1 otherwise (similar to "if exist xyznul", but also works on remote and ntfs drives)
- display: view and modify display settings from the command line (resolution, frequency, bit depth)
- errlv: sets the errorlevel to the given value
- filesize: sets the errorlevel to the size of the specified file. new as of version 08-21-2005: filesize now can compare a file's size to a reference value
- flushdrv: flush windows' file system buffers (similar to un*x 'sync', successor of the former flushdrv download)
- forcedir: creates a whole directorysubdirectory... path at once
- gpcvreg/gpscript: these two programs can modify w2k/xp local group policy files ("registry.pol") via commands from textual control files
- ini2reg: reads data from an ini-file and stores it in the registry
- instfont: install or uninstall fonts via command line
- iskeydown: checks if one or more keys are pressed (also control, shift etc.) and sets the errorlevel
- logger: enhanced "echo" command, output additional information (like date, time, username...) to a logfile and/or stdout
- macid: retrieves the mac address of the specified adapter and writes it to stdout in different formats
- moveex: can rename or delete files which are currently locked at next reboot
- msgbox: displays a windows message box and sets the errorlevel depending on the user input
- nocrlf: reads from stdin, removes all line breaks (cr and lf) and writes the text to stdout
