Subject: useful utilities
A previous posting mentioned the handy printer redirection
utility PRINDIR, but the poster was unaware of an online
source for it. It is available from CompuServe as PRINDI.ZIP,
and can be found among the IBMSYS/General Utils files. The
current version is 8.02. Also worth mentioning in this context
is a nice screen-capture utility called SNIPPER, which I learned
about from my colleague (and fellow Humanist) Marc Bregman.
It can be obtained from Simtel 20 under filename SNIPPR24.ZIP
in the <MSDOS.SCREEN> directory.
With good wishes,

A LOT of people would like to study them...since, apparently, they
don't exist. That makes the work just a bit tricky, no?
