     FLP_BY_ANP

     **********



     This  archive contains seven utilities mostly for CLI which I've

     gathered together under the umbrella of Funny Little Programs by

     ANP  (FLP_BY_ANP),  including  the fully commented source.  They

     are as follows...



     ----------------------------------------------------------------



     AIO (All In One):



     Usage: AIO <secs> <text>



     This  is  a  very unusual program in that it is a combination of

     existing  tools, all of which are useful in certain types of

     script files.  It can display a message, wait a specified time,

     clear the screen and then return to the script.





     Beep:



     Usage: Beep



     This  is  a  nonsensical little program that "beeps" and flashes

     the screen.  Again, useful for script files.





     CS (Clear Screen):



     Usage: CS



     Simply  clears  the screen by writing a "CONTROL L" character to

     the CLI or Shell window.





     Delay:



     Usage: Delay <secs>



     This  little  program  simply  goes away and waits the specified

     time.  Like WAIT but a lot simpler!





     WaitReturn:



     Usage: WaitReturn



     Inspired  by other similar programs, this is my own attempt at a

     little program you can use in a script file to halt the progress

     of the script until the user presses the RETURN key.





     Rst (Reset):



     Usage: Rst



     A  dinky little program that clears some memory vectors and then

     Resets the computer.





     WBRst (Workbench Reset):



     Usage: WBRst



     Like  it's  fellow Rst, it is a small rebooting program.  Unlike

     Rst, this one can be run and executed via the Workbench.  Being

     for  Workbench  users  it  also  has  a  safety  net if pressed

     accidentally.
