Notes from the author:
This program is freeware. It is not as complete as I would like
it to be, but then again I am working 2 jobs and doing a double
degree. If it is in your heart, please send me a little something
(no letter bombs please!).

I would prefer Australian dollars. Hey, you can check out our
colourful polymer (plastic) notes! My address is:

The next update should support Applets, using AppletViewer!

For the record, I love DOS. You may ask why 14 files come with JAVA
Shell Utilties, when only 3 are necessary. Well the answer is because
what I wanted to do didn't work.

The main problem creating this program is converting DOS 8.3
filenames (passed from Windows(TM)) into long filenames as
required by the JDK. I like to distribute my DOS programs
as compiled standalone executables, but this did not work.

So I have several executable files and some DOS batch files.
The executable files run faster, so that is why I made components
of the batch files into executables.
