4DOS Aliases, Batches, Functions and Tools

 

Here I have collected batches and utilities from various sources, even a few of my own which didn't make it into 4XBTM.

 

I don't intend to continue my "BTM Of The Month" selection. I'll add interesting (to me) aliases, batches, functions and tools here as I come across them.
