zipsplit is good, but it does have a limitation for single entries which
are too big for a single disk. The hard split can handle entries of any
size.
When thinking about backups and recovery, zipsplit definitely seems
better since it has the possibility of partial recovery. My program was

The 8 kb existing, TP-compiled .EXE? Or do you mean newer FP
Okay. Regardless, I just pushed updates to both archives that change the
build script to UPX pack the binaries.

Or I suppose I could soft links on ibiblio, if that's where I put them.
Then they would appear in different directories but only get saved once.
It's not big, so that should be okay.

I noticed the PASSWORD program puts password attempts in plain text into
its log file. This is dangerous if the user only barely miskeys their
password and another user reads the log file.
I made a modification to only say which user was attempted. Patch file
included.

I suppose I could do that. I left them together for the simplicity of
the build script.
What if I added a deploy script that created separate distributions for
each one while keeping the source together?

Thanks. Any chance to split up the Unix utilities separately, like we have
already done with the others?

When I try to UPX it, I get an assertion failure. Apparently UPX has
trouble with FreePascal executables. I think this additionally confirms
another compiler was used.

I've hosted the source code here:
https://mcmackins.org/dl/dos/UTILSSRC.ZIP
https://mcmackins.org/dl/dos/MDSAISRC.ZIP
The first archive has my UNIX utils and arg parser (since I used the arg
parser for them), and the second has the installer.
No docs at this time. MDSAI probably needs a short do
Excellent! Do you have a website you could post these to? If so, put them
there and share the link. If not, email me off list and we'll arrange to
get them to me so I can share them on our files archive at ibiblio.
I like the very permissive license, especially for a library. For those who

Following your details, I can confirm it is UPXed. I have unpacked it, and
increased from 8264 bytes up to 17424 bytes.
Then I examined the headers, and according to the signatures (Portions
Copyright (c) 1983,92 Borland) it should be Turbo/Borland Pascal 7 compiled.
Hope that helps.
