DOS command summary and tutorial {ASP}
+--------------------+
| Medium Description |
+--------------------+

are tutorials covering memory management and how DOS starts. The
program can be used in standalone or resident mode. {ASP}

| Long Description |
+------------------+
DOS Summary is a hypertext tutorial and reference product which covers
all DOS commands and drivers through MS-DOS version 5.0. The program
can be used in tutorial mode for learning DOS commands in either
alphabetical order or by command groupings. Additional tutorial material
on memory management and optimization plus what happens when DOS starts
is provided. Hypertext organization allows the user to follow any
education path that suits their needs.
The program can be operated in standalone mode at the DOS prompt using
either menus or command mode (e.g. start with DOSSUM or DOSSUM <command>
from the DOS prompt). When started in command mode you will be brought
to the closest command listing which matches the command you specified,
so you do not need to spell the full command or spell the command
correctly.
The program can also be operated in resident mode using conventional or
expanded memory. This allows it to remain resident in your computer
and be called up via hotkey as necessary. In this latter mode you can
apply one hotkey to bring the program up to the last command examined
or another to bring it up based on the word at the cursor position.
Registered users are given a 190-page manual which includes copies of
the screen text plus examples which do not appear in any shareware or
registered software version. Also included (with permission) is a copy
of the Qualitas program ASQ.EXE; a diagnostic and analysis program for
memory use and additional evaluation software or offers from Shareable
Software International. {ASP}
