^C^1KRAMDEN UTILITIES
^CBy Bryan Higgins


The Kramden Utilities are a set of utility programs which perform many useful 
functions on your PC.  We are using them on our inhouse systems, and find them 
to be extremely useful.  Whether you are a "hacker" or just an ordinary user, 
these utilities will help you make efficient use of your personal computer.  

This issue, we offer the MV command, a handy little command to move files 
around on your hard or floppy disks.

Over the next few months, you can expect to see more Kramden Utilities in BIG 
BLUE DISK.

Due to the nature of these programs, they cannot be run directly from the menu.
They work just like DOS commands (such as COPY, DIR, etc.); you invoke them by 
typing their name followed by whatever parameters are appropriate.  

To use them, copy them onto another diskette or onto a hard disk. Before using 
any of the Kramden Utilities, carefully read its instructions, by selecting 
the BIG BLUE DISK menu entry for the utility. 

While each Kramden utility is useful by itself, they can also work together to 
do even more.  The whole is definitely greater than the sum of its parts in 
this case.  You should copy all Kramden Utilities onto one floppy disk or one 
subdirectory of a hard disk.  The documentation for each utility will describe 
the ways it can be used in combination with the others.  Make sure not to miss 
an issue of BIG BLUE DISK, so you can get a complete set.  (Subscription 
information is available elsewhere in this issue.)

If you have used the UNIX (tm)* operating system, you will probably find 
Kramden Utilities command line syntax to be familiar; it is based largely on 
UNIX commands.
