DirKing		A very powerful replacement for the AmigaDOS 'List' and 'Dir'
		commands.  It gives full control on the format of the directory
		listing and what information should be printed.  The directory
		can be sorted on any field, or on several fields in the order
		you want.  Supports many filters, such as name and date, and
		the filters can be made effective on files only, directories
		only or on both.  You can also define a pattern for each level
		of the directory tree.  Has an LFORMAT option which is useful
		for generating scripts.  A unique feature is the ability to
		monitor the scanning process.  English version supplied,
		German, French and Dutch versions available from the author.
		Version 2.12e, an update to version 2.11e on disk number 784.
		Binary only, shareware.

NewDate		A replacement for the AmigaDOS 'Date' command.  Besides the
		usual date options, NewDate enables date output in your own
		defined format.  NewDate also supports English, German, French,
		Dutch, Italian, Spanish, Danish, Finnish and Polish datenames.
		Version 1.10, binary only, freeware.

PARex		Replace strings in any file, whether plain text files or pure
		binary files.  By using scripts you can define any number of
		search and replace strings to be used for processing a file.
		You can use all ASCII codes when defining these strings, so
		non-printable characters are no problem.  PARex makes patching
		files very easy.  Version 2.12, binary only, shareware.

PPMC		The Powerpacker Mini Clone.  PPMC is powerpacker.library

		packing and unpacking text and data files.  It has a complete
		CLI interface and is localized under OS2.1 and higher.  This
		is version 1.2c, an update to version 1.2b on disk 812.  Some
		new enhancements as the multiple file packing and/or unpacking
		under Shell and many code optimizations.  Includes Danish,
		Dutch and French catalogs, a 68030 version, hypertext docu-
