JOBS (v3.20sa) by Robert C. Tellefson            REGISTRATION ($10.00)

                JOBS - Job Organization and Backup System

JOBS is an acronym  for JOB Organization and  Backup System.  It is  a
hard disk manager, DOS shell, utility set, menu manager, and more.  It
runs on IBM PC/XT/AT and compatible computers.

Perhaps our most difficult task has been to explain what JOBS is.   It
doesn't  fall  neatly  into  a  single  category.   Maybe  it  is best
described as a housekeeper.

As a housekeeper, JOBS performs those tasks that are performed outside
of application programs.  We consider PCs to be machines  specifically
designed  to  run  applications,  ie.,  word  processing,  accounting,
planning, drafting,  design, etc.   Housekeeping tasks  are those that
are necessary but incidental.  Housekeeping tasks include:
  1. DOS related operations, such as directory creation/removal,
     file copy, erase, rename, etc.
  2. Execution of application programs.
  3. Installation and removal of programs and utilities.
  4. Backup or archiving of data created by applications.
  5. Miscellaneous functions to display, organize, and manage
     application data; ie., tools used to print, search, sort,
     compare, etc.
  6. The ability to automate or customize frequently performed
     operations.

The shareware version  of JOBS (JOBS-SW)  is a subset  of JOBS+, which
adds support for  hard disk backup  and restore, a  menu manager, EASY
menus to simplify access to JOBS' extensive command set, and a set  of
macros that make  short work of  many of the  most common housekeeping
tasks.
