+If you are a power user you probably use old DOS or new Win32 programs
+designed to be run from the command line where the corresponding options
+are indicated. To start with, many file maintenance jobs are far easier
+when using command line utilities and batch files. The "user-friendly"
+way to do many simple tasks (comparing two directories or copying to the
+disk the relevant modified files of you current programming task, for
+instance) is boring and error prone. Unix-like filters also are still
+very useful.
+
+Any advanced user has a lot of command line programs in her system, but
+if you do not use them very often it is not always easy to remember the
+right option to do something.
+
+Cmd Line Shell is designed to be a shell for any command line program.
+· It provides a common, easily configurable, GUI look to any
+program which takes its options from the command line.
+· It will help you to prepare the command line and launch the
+external program. (You may also copy the command line to use it, say,
+form a batch file.)
+· You do not have to remember the syntax: the available options
+and their use are displayed.
+· You may easily search through your system for the input and
+output files.
+· Your favorite options may be set as new default.
+
+This program is designed to be used, for instance, with
+· the Console utilities by the same author,
+· the PostScript utilities included, for instance, in the
+excellent free implementation of TeX by Christian Schenk: MiKTeX 1.07,
+which is available from CTAN mirrors
+(ftp://ftp.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/systems/win32/miktex/ and
+ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/systems/win32/miktex),
+· the epstool which comes with the last release of Ghostscript and
+GSview ( http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/),
+· many GNU utilities.
+
+The Definition Files (where the interface is defined) for many of these
+programs are provided (though you might need to change a line to specify
+the directory where your copy of each program is located).

+Free program for Windows 95/NT4... Installs itself when executed.
+
+TeX Organizer is a simple utility to organize the use under Windows 95
+of a group of DOS and/or Windows programs that are to be applied to a
+single file or to a group or related files. The best example (but not
+the only) is provided by TeX. Let us assume that you have a DOS (or even
+Windows) version of TeX. Typically you have to use:
+
+- your favorite editor to write and modify (in Plain TeX, LaTeX or
+another format) the source file, say Sample.TeX.
+
+- the typesetting program to create the Sample.DVI file.
+
+- a DVI viewer to check the results.
+
+- a DVI to PostScript translator to generate the Sample.PS file.
+
+- a program to send the PostScript file to the printer.
+
+- a file viewer to check the Sample.log file for errors.
+
+- a batch file to erase the intermediate Sample.aux, Sample.log and
+Sample.PS files.
+
+You may also use some utilities to manage references, to draw figures,
+to view the PostScript output on the screen, etc. Another (simpler)
+example would be the writing of Windows help files which implies using a
+RTF editor, the help compiler and, maybe, a program to view the log file
+containing the errors. All this mess may be easily handled by using TeX
+Organizer: You only have to select the main file ( Sample.TeX in our
+example) from a standard open dialog box or by dragging it from the
+Explorer and then press the buttons corresponding to each or the
+programs and utilities that you want to apply to the main file or to
+related files.

+Especially designed to be used with the free LaTeX Macros,
+Cmd Line Shell and DVIPS Shell by the same author.
