- HELPSB DOS 3.x 4.x OS/2 Help Utility Version 1.10 09-15-89
- No Copyright. No Rights Reserved. Share freely and benefit.
-
- The files DISK1.ZIP and DISK2.ZIP contain help for users of DOS-
- based personal computers. The primary ways that this help utility
- differs from a number of others is:
- - non-technical orientation. It is intended for non-technical
- users, and includes a section of definitions (NEW_TERMS)
- just for them. It will run from floppies or hard disks.
- - scope. It covers the commands of DOS 3.x, DOS 4.x, and
- some aspects of OS/2 in detail.
- - examples. For almost every command, a collection of
- annotated examples is provided.
- - batch file coverage. Extensive information on the use of
- BAT files, and examples of their use, is provided.
-
- The information is structured in VMS HELP fashion as a collection
- of almost 400 small files in more than 100 subdirectories. The PKZIP
- program was used to produce files DISK1.ZIP and DISK2.ZIP. Each file
- just fits on a 5 1/4" floppy disk.
-
- Use PKUNZIP -DX to unzip them (either to floppies or to one subdirectory
- on a hard disk or a 3 1/2" diskette) and read the README file on DISK1.
- PKUNZIP -XD doesn't preserve the subdirectory structure. If you unzip to
- a hard disk, there will be two HELP.LKP file duplicates and one HELP.HLM
- duplicate. Answer Y or N to the overwrite question from PKUNZIP, because
- they really are duplicates, and are there for those who unzip to two
- floppy disks.
-
- Robert P. Scott wrote the HELPOUT program used, and John M. Baird
- prepared the help files. If you find HELPSB helpful, and convenient
- to use, a registration fee would be appreciated. No money is
- requested or expected. Fees take the form of enhancements to
- existing files or suggestions for improvements to them. Please state
- the version of HELPSB that you currently have. Send those fees to:
