  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

  POZ.EXE

  Place in a directory that's in the Dos path.

  Use in batch files as you would the Dos "pause" command, or with the 
  following command line options.

  Command line options:
                       /h - brings up help screen.
                       /b - beep
                       /c - chirp
                       /# - pause for # seconds

          example:  Poz /c /15 (Chirps and pauses for 15 seconds)

  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

  PGET.EXE
  PPUT.EXE

  Place in a directory that's in the Dos path.
  
  For use in batch files to automatically return to your starting directory.

  Example for use: (With Norton.Bat in the Dos path.)

              @Echo off
              Pget
              D:
              CD\UTIL\NU
              NORTON
              Pput


  Now for example, if you are in the C:\Dos Directory and type Norton <enter>
  then the Norton bat file will get the directory you are in (C:\Dos), change
  to the Norton Directory on drive D:, run Norton, and then return you to
  C:\Dos where you started from.

  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

  CLOCK.EXE
  LOG.EXE 


  Place in a directory that's in the Dos path.

  Clock.exe when run using no command line option is simply a clock that
  displays the time & date.  When followed by a path and file name, the file
  will be timestamped.  If the file doesn't exist, then it will be created.
  (Providing the directory exists)

  For example, CLOCK C:\DATA\LOG.TXT would create the file LOG.TXT (or append 
  it if it already exists) with the stamp of the current time and date.

  Log.exe is made to be used with Clock.exe (Clock.exe must have been used to 
  timestamp a file before Log.exe will work). Log.exe is used to automatically 
  add text to a file timestamped by Clock.exe.

  For example, to keep a log of the amount of time used writing software with
  Turbo Pascal.

             @ECHO OFF
             PGET
             D:
             CD\BURUTIL
   >>        CLOCK C:\DATA\PAS.LOG
   >>        LOG Starting Turbo Pascal, Working on Burgess Utilities.
             TPX /Cburutil.tp
             PPUT
   >>        CLOCK C:\DATA\PAS.LOG
   >>        LOG Finished working with Turbo Pascal.
   >>        LOG Almost finished with MAKBAT.  Started text file reader...

  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

  SND.EXE

  Place in a directory that's in the Dos path.

  Use to add sounds to batch files.

  Command line options:
                       /h - brings up help screen.
                       /t1../t9 - sounds, tones 1 thru 9
                       /b1../b5 - sounds, beeps 1 thru 5
                       /c1../c3 - sounds, chirps 1 thru 3

          examples:    Snd /c1 /t6 
                       (Makes sounds chirp 1 and tone 6)
                       Snd /b3 /c1 /b2
                       (Makes sounds beep 3, chirp 1, and beep 2)
          
  Up to 25 sounds can be put with Snd.exe as command line perameters at one
  time...
