TINYPROG makes your DOS .EXE or .COM program files smaller, taking less disk space. TINYPROG'ed programs run normally. TINYPROG'ed programs are encrypted and check themeselves for corruption and patches. Developers can put easily-changed configuration data inside of TINYPROG'ed programs.

TIMIO records data from a COM port and is able to play the data back through a COM port at the same rate that the data was originally recorded. TIMIO's documented recording files contain information that you use to control the data playback in many ways. TIMIO even attempts to duplicate recorded COM port errors! You can use TIMIO files to regression test your programs, or to exercise them in controlled ways.

How to run TIMIO:
C>timio COM_port file_name From port to file.
e.g. C>timio 1 file.tim From COM 1 to 'FILE.TIM'.
TIMIO copies from the file to a port or file at the original rate.
C>timio file_name COM_port File to port.
C>timio from_name to_name File to file.
C>timio from_name COM_port to_name File to port + port to file.
TIMIO can copy from a file to a port and copy from the port to a file.
C>timio from_file_name COM_port to_file_name

OBJER converts any text or data file to a format that you can use to link to your own programs. OBJER has many options to control the output .OBJ file, including options to control the PUBLIC, SEGMENT, GROUP, and CLASS names. OBJER can strip high bits from Wordstar .DOC files, and can put byte counts at the beginning of the output data, and a NULL character at the end.

SamFB helps you learn Morse Code with several training modes. SamFB can send and receive Morse Code from your keyboard, cassette port, or through a control line on either COM 1 or COM 2. SamFB can send a file as Morse Code, too.

DCRC computes several "checksums" of file(s). If DCRC calculates the same checksum for two different files, then the files are likely (in the case of some checksums), or absolutely (in the case of other checksums) to be the same. This can be useful if you are comparing files that are separated by either distance or time. For instance, if you and your friend in Mongolia want to know whether you possess the same copy of a file, you both need only run DCRC on each copy of the file and then to compare the results. (The /3 /K /4 /5 or /H options are best for this use.)
If you want to know whether you possess the same copy of a file that existed some time in the past, then you may do so if you know the past file's checksum. Simply compute the checksum on the current version of the file. If it is the same, the file is the same. (The /4 /5 and /H options are most reliable for this type of use.)
To "notarize" a file, tell someone the /5 or /H option checksum for a file. You need not let the "someone" have the file. Then, any time in the future, you may give the file to that person and, if he computes the same /5 or /H checksum that you told him, he knows absolutely that you must have possessed the file when you told him the checksum.

This program computes various CRC and checksums of a file or files.
Why? If two PC's each have files that appear to be the same, you can
be reasonably sure that they ARE the same if the files' CRC's match.
You can use DCRC to decide if you and a friend have the same file copy.
DCRC has many, many options for more sophisticated uses. For instance,
DCRC may output a binary file containing the CRC's. And, DCRC computes
"secure hashes." If you produce a file whose CRCs and "secure hash"
match those revealed by you in the past, then others may assume that
you must have possessed that exact file when you first revealed the
CRCs and "secure hash." No one knows how to create a file whose CRCs
and "secure hash" match given, arbitrary values.
