I personally would like to see Arachne renamed to simply "browser" (makes more
sense anyway) rename what's in the code too - no remnants. Or eliminate it
altogether. I don't like spiders anyway after what happened to me. it's one of
the reasons I won't download a freedos iso.
I have several projects I would like to add to FreeDOS distribution if I can.
mbr - http://jesusnjim.com/code/mbrsaverestore.html
diskwipe& wipegui - http://jesusnjim.com/code/diskwipeandrattledisk.html
bracematcher- http://jesusnjim.com/code/bracematcher.html
extract512bytesfromfile - http://jesusnjim.com/code/extract512bytesfromfile.html
createfile - http://jesusnjim.com/code/createfile.html
df - http://jesusnjim.com/code/df.html
du - http://jesusnjim.com/code/du.html
md5 - http://jesusnjim.com/code/md5.html
sha512 - http://jesusnjim.com/code/sha512.html
uniq - http://jesusnjim.com/code/uniq.html
phone - http://jesusnjim.com/code/phone.html
phonelist - http://jesusnjim.com/code/phonelst.html
whereis - http://jesusnjim.com/code/whereis.html
which - http://jesusnjim.com/code/which.html
zapdupes - http://jesusnjim.com/code/zapdupes.html
zapdupes deletes duplicate files in a subdirectory tree.
phonelist is a phone list database.
phone converts phone letters to digits.
diswkwipe and wipegui are for securely wiping or zeroing hard disks.
mbr is for saving and restoring and printing the MBR of a hard disk. you can
also print MBR of a file.
extract512bytesfromfile is for extracting boot records from files for making
bootable cd's with ripcord.
bracematcher does just what it says on files.
createfile creates a random-content file or specific-byte-content file of
whatever size you choose, only limitation is the OS and 63-bits.
uniq is a holdover from the unix pipe filters which only lets through unique
lines. mine has an optional presort switch.
df - like UNIX df - disk free space. except mine is in SI units and gives a
graph. sevral switches.
du - like unix du - disk usage, but mine doesn't list subdirs, and lists
numbers in SI units.
sha512 calculates the sha512 hash on a file and shows the result. handles large
files.
whereis - finds files, starting in a specific subdir if you want.
which - finds the executeable that would be executed first in the PATH
according to microsoft conventions. for instance, .com comes before .exe comes
before .bat, etc.
If I remember correctly, I these all have DOS and Windows versions in the zip
files.
