SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: IBM PC or Compatible, 512K, DOS 2.1 or higher.
SHORT DESCRIPTION: Here is the best collection of DOS utilities found
anywhere. Has the exclusive feature of being configurable to either
the novice or expert DOS user. Includes extensive help including an
online user manual.
DESCRIPTION: OS/ASSIST is a suite of 14 utility programs designed with
both the novice and expert DOS user in mind. Here, in a single
collection, are the command line programs which should have been
bundled with DOS, but weren't.
A special feature of these utilities is that their usage may be
tailored towards the expert or novice user. For the "novice" user who
dislikes having to memorize arcane command arguments, the utilities may
be operated in a "prompting" mode, whereby the user is prompted for the
information required. For the "expert" user, the utilities may be
operated in the more traditional mode whereby the appropriate command
arguments are specified.
The utility package provides extensive user help, unique for a package
such as this. Help for each utility can be obtained by specifying the
"/?" command line argument. In addition, bundled with the utilities is
a help facility providing a user manual, troubleshooting guide, and
helpful hints in using the utilities.
Included in this set of utilities are the following:
1) CAPSLOCK - Automatically controls the CapsLock key.
2) CURSOR - Controls the size of the display cursor.
3) DELDIR - Deletes the contents of an entire directory as
well as any subdirectories contained within.
4) EDIR - An enhanced directory lister.
5) MOVE - Renames files as well as moves files to different
directories.
6) NUMLOCK - Automatically controls the NumLock key.
7) REBOOT - Allows the user to reboot the computer from the
DOS command line or from within a batch file.
8) SCRLLOCK - Automatically controls the ScrollLock key.
9) SELECT - A very powerful utility. This program works in
conjunction with other DOS commands allowing
the user to repeatedly perform the same command on
multiple files and directories. Files that are to
be acted upon are "marked" by selecting from a
displayed list of files.
10) SPEEDKEY - Speeds up the keyboard's response rate.
11) SYSINFO - Displays a cornucopia of information about the
user's computer. Displays the PC's system
configuration, AUTOEXEC.BAT file, CONFIG.SYS file,
device information, and environment variables.
Provides the option to print and/or save the
system's configuration information to a file.
12) TEE - Simultaneously routes information to a file as
well as the display.
13) VIEW - A text file browser.
14) WHERE - Locates files anywhere on the computer. Also
provides the option of deleting any files found.
