Filename : README.50
There have been a some major changes in the Software and the Documentation.
We now do 43/50 line modes!!!!
We have been asked to include a utility to show the internal directories
of the new LH "ICE" (LHARC) compression format. Well here it is!
DICE.EXE
This program has been added to the DStuff package with no increase in the
price of the package (yes, it's still $25.00).
DICE and DZIP both have a new feature added, now not only can you select
the compressed file to view but you can give a file mask match to work
with! Example :
DZIP DSTUFF50 D*.EXE
This will show you all of the entries in the zip file DSTUFF50 that start
with "D" and have a file extension of "EXE".
To print the manual simply enter
copy dstuff.man prn
This will be identical to the text supplied with the registered copy
but will be without graphics.
If you have registered an older version of the the DStuff Package
note the new pricing in the Ordering section of the manual.
This is the third major upgrade to the DStuff Package!
We are currently working on another new addition to the DSTUFF package. This
program will allow you to browse a dBase III, III+, or IV ".DBF" file a
screen at a time. And with one key press view all of the information in
the header with out leaving the browse screen!
Yes, we have all seen many different ".DBF" file browsers but they all show
you only one record at a time in a vertical format! Well, our version will
allow you to view the data in a horizontal format, and scroll the viewing
window in all directions!
There's :
Record : ###
Field Name : Field 1
Field Name : Field 2
Field Name : Field 3
.. : .
.. : .
Field Name : Field N
Ours :
Field Name Field Name Field Name
Record Field 1 Field 2 Field 3
.. .. .. ..
.. .. .. ..
.. .. .. ..
.. .. .. ..
Record N Field 1 Field 2 Field 3
You can use all of the normal cursor control keys (or mouse) to move around
the fields (22 rows at a time). If the length of record information is
greater than the screen you can use the left and right (or again the mouse)
arrow keys to scroll the hidden data into view.
Any orders for the DStuff package AFTER June 1, 1990 will receive this program
free. Previous orders will have to pay a small up grade fee.

Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!
This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.
But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
