       2. DBL2.BAT       Sophisticated batch  file. Checks  all Drives

       3. DOUBLE.TXT     Text file  to help  explain some of the batch
                         files that are in this file set.
       
       4. DOUBLEIT.EXE   Sophisticated executable file.  A  QuickBASIC
                         program  to   check  all   drives  for  Drive
                         Compression.
       
       5. DOUBLEIT.BAS   Source code for DOUBLEIT.EXE
       
       6. ISIT-DBL.COM   Assembly program  that needs to be run with a
                         batch file that can sense IF ERRORLEVELs
       
       7. LIST           List of files in this archive.
       
       8. MAKE_COM.BAT   Makes ISIT_DBL.COM using ISIT_DBL.SCR.
       
       9. ISIT_DBL.SCR   Assembly code, see above.
       
      10. NEWJOHN.BAT    Displays NEWTEXT.TXT using READ.COM.
       
      11. NEWTEXT.TXT    This file.
       
      12. READ.COM       An ASCII  file displayer, read the batch file
                         FROMJOHN.BAT,  it   explains   how   to   use
                         READ.COM.
       
      13. STEP.BAT       Sophisticated batch file. STEP.BAT allows you
                         to single  step any  of your batch files =if=
                         you have  MS-DOS Version 6.2. If you don't it
                         will give  you an  error message  telling you
                         there is  no such  "switch"  associated  with
                         COMMAND.COM.
                         
                         This is  an incredible advance for batch file
                         testing! Until  MS-DOS 6.2,  you were "flying
                         blind" to  try to  find out  why a batch file
                         didn't do  what you  wanted. This program CAN
                         make you  a batch  file POWER  maker....  Now
                         what do think of that!
       
      14. TEST_DRV.BAT   Sophisticated batch  file.  Uses  DBL.BAT  to
                         check  all   drives  to   see  if   they  are
                         Compressed. If  you are interested in how MS-
                         DOS "thinks,"  consider "stepping"  this with
                         STEP.BAT  and   then  doing   it  again  with
                         DBL2.BAT.
       
       Enough Said....
