The PCS utilities I began distributing some time back have been
upgraded to take advantage of some of the features of PC Scheme 3.0.

For those of you interested in PCS, a set of these utilities and
documentation is available (free) from:

Although written primarily for the TIPC, everything except the
graphics should work on IBMs and IBM clones.  The directories are:


UTILITY - Various text windowing, file printing and keyboard handlers
which simplify writing application programs (includes a file
pretty-printer and a new top-level read-eval-print loop which uses an
emacs-like line-editor with the capability to scroll through and edit
previous entries)
 
SWI - A convenient mechanism for invoking 8086 ASSY routines via SWI-INT.

HELP - A user-extendable on-line help facility which includes all of
the PCS functions and syntax as well as other information on PCS
specific quirks.  

GRAF - A graphics package for creating graphics "windows" somewhat
analogous to text windows 

PLOT - A general purpose function plotter

GAME1 - Self explanatory - non-graphics for IBM or TIPC
GAME2 - for TIPC graphics

ERR_STAT - more utilities for controlling the status window, testing
for directories and disabling the gc-message

MENUSHEL - two general purpose menu driven command shells handy for
application development.
