Sun 14-Apr-91: Acquired the following files from Simtel20 to garbo,
and took a closer look at them:
/pc/binedit
beav120.zip     Binary Editor And Viewer v1.20 by Peter Reilley.
                This is only the second binary editor that I have
                seen that I find satisfactory (the first was
                fed153.zip). If you have been using MicroEmacs,
                you'll feel at once at home with beav.exe. - The
                display formats of beav are very flexible. - These
                are hackers' tools.
/pc/dirutil
dirsiz11.zip    Directory Size information v1.1 by Keith Ledbetter,
                the author of the excellent SuperSonic Search Tool.
                Dirsize.exe is a free program to give a list of
                directory sizes eg on your harddisk, which can be
                quite useful. I can't refrain mentioning here that I
                have programmed practically the same utility quite
                awhile ago. It is dirinfo.exe, currently in
                tsutlc16.arc at the /pc/ts directory. But different
                realizations of the same idea are naturally both
                commonplace and welcome.
/pc/unix
fw-ls2.zip      Unix-like ls list directory for MsDos and OS/2.
                With the number of users and programmers with a
                Unix background it is hardly surprising that
                Unix-like alternatives for MsDos commands abound.
                The most popular Unix rendition has been ls, and
                this is yet another one. This one seems well done
                and quite complete.
