                             Version 1.1 
                            ͼ

     This is Version 1.1. New file DBL2.BAT added which does the work of
     the two batch files described below. The batch file code which
     makes DBl2.BAT do the work of two batch files is from Neil
     Rubenking. See text description of DBL2.BAT -inside- that batch
     file.

     if you are reading this because you executed FROMJOHN.BAT... when
     you hit <Esc> to exit this text file, it will then load DBL2.BAT...
     neat eh?

     The following is the original text of DOUBLE.EXE, it still applies.

     Well, I wasn't going to write a text piece for this file set, but
     it got a little confusing even for me. This file set contains two
     batch files that work together. They are:

     1st   TEST_DRV.BAT   (will test -every- drive from A: to N:)
                          (uses DBL.BAT)

     2nd   DBL.BAT        (will test -one- drive that you type in)

     The first time you try this, use TEST_DRV.BAT and see how it works.
     Actually it's a clever way to test all your drives.

     If you wish you can take out the "PAUSE" commands in DBL.BAT and
     redirect the output to a file to see which of your drives are
     Double Spaced without pressing a key everytime it displays a drive.

     By using MAKE_COM.BAT with the script file ISIT_DBL.SCR you can
     make your very own ISIT-DBL.COM.

     But before you do, write down the byte size of the existing
     ISIT_DBL.COM file and then -view- it using XtGold or some other
     viewer that lets you look at *.COM files. You don't need a Hex file
     viewer.

     All the *.BAT files contain "interesting" text that you should at
     least browse; -but- most of my finest stuff is in DBL.BAT.
