echo      Little Computer Tutor!
echo.
ansi 0;1;44;37m
echo      Much technical information is written for the use of Your new
echo      Computer System, but it is this program's desire to help a NEW
echo      computer user to just "move" around and get aquainted with his
echo      system.
echo      This Tutor is written for IBM compatibles which operate in a
echo      DOS environment. Through it, you will be given a chance to
echo      FAMILIARIZE yourself with your computer and a few useful DOS
echo      commands.
echo      I hope you find it informative, fun and useful! As your fluency
echo      in computer operations increases, please check our BBS for more
echo      useful programs.

echo    How does your Computer work ?
ansi 1;40;37m
echo.
echo    Well, this can be a very complicated or very simple question.
echo    For our purposes here, we will just say that your computer is a very
echo    way of storing information - kind of like a file cabinet only much
echo    more powerful - A computer can also PROCESS information!
echo.
echo    Whatever program that your system starts when you turn it on - be it
echo    MS-Windows; Tandy Deskmate; Packard Bell Menu; or some other Desktop
echo    program - it is not the program responsible for operating your system!
echo    Your IBM compatible computer is controlled by a program called DOS.
echo    DOS stands for :
echo.
beep
beep
echo           D - Disk
beep
beep
echo           O - Operating
beep
beep
echo           S - System
beep
echo.
echo.
echo.
ansi 36m
pause
cls
echo    Needless to say, this is the program responsible for your system's
echo    operations. Many people invest in a system and then at some point in
echo    their learning, need answers to questions that they may have about
echo    operations they wish to perform. They call the place where they had
echo    purchased their system only to find out that the person who sold them
echo    the system is unavailable, out of town, or knows less than they do
echo    about the disk operations program.
echo.
echo    What do you do?
ansi 1;40;37m
echo.
echo    At this point you can:
echo         1) Call Someone Else (if you're lucky and it's not 3am)
echo         2) Forget it All and bring back your computer and
echo            attempt to get a refund.
echo            (Only to find out that Your refund policy has expired)
echo         3) Take a Sledge Hammer and Crash Your Computer
echo         4) Take a Sledge Hammer and Crash the Salesperson (grin)
echo         5) "Wip Out" Your Complete Reference DOS Manual and
echo            look it up!
echo.
beep
echo     Wow! Good thing You learned a little about Your Operating System
echo     or frustration could have got the best of you!
echo.

echo     Your Computer (Hard Drive) is composed of Different Drives or Disks.
echo     The Hard Drive is usually considered to be C: Drive
echo     The Floppy Drive is usually considered to be A: or B: Drive
echo     A Floppy Drive is Usually 5¼ inch (large & flimsy)
echo                            or 3½ inch (small & firm)
echo     If you have both 5¼ & 3½ inch Floppy Drives:
echo                 1 will be considered A: Drive
echo                 & the other will be considered B: Drive
echo.
echo     C: Drive (Hard Disk) is a convenient Storage Space on which you are
echo     able to install your favorite programs and run without needing to
echo     run them from a floppy disk. These programs are stored INSIDE of your
echo     computer. Typical storage capacities on these Hard Drives are usually
echo     somewhere in the range between 20 - 40 - 80 - 105 - 130 megabytes, and
echo     as you can reasonably deduce, they store MUCH more information than
echo     your typical floppy disk.
echo.
ansi 36m
pause
cls
echo.
echo     On an IBM compatible, the System which controls the use of your
echo     different drives is DOS, and although it has been said that DOS could
echo     use some renovation, it is a VERY powerful program!
echo     For Instance:
echo     If you are running the program Windows, your computer has probably
echo     stored Windows on the C: Drive in the Windows directory...
echo                  C:\WINDOWS\
echo     Within the Windows directory are the files which are needed to run
echo     the Windows program. The program which accesses these files in order
echo     that they may be ran is DOS.
echo     In other words - if the files in the Windows directory are deleted,
echo     the Windows program CANNOT run. You can delete these files from DOS
echo     and although Windows won't be able to run, DOS will be able to run.
echo     If the files in your DOS directory are deleted, DOS will not be able
echo     to run AND it is not likely that Windows would run EVEN though the
echo     files in the Windows directory are NOT deleted.
echo     Case in point - DOS runs the Windows program & NOT vice versa!

echo SYS      - This command transfers the System Files to a Floppy Disk
echo            which makes the floppy a "Bootable" Disk with which You can
echo            "Boot" Your computer.
echo Examples: SYS A: - This command makes the Disk in Drive A: a "Bootable"
echo                    Disk.
echo.
ansi 36m
pause
cls
echo TIME     - This command allows You to Set or Display the Current System
echo            Time.
echo Examples: TIME 23:30:10 - This command sets the Time as 11:30 (10 secs)pm.
echo                           This format is in 24 Hour format.
echo           TIME 11:30pm  - This command also sets the System Clock at
echo                           11:30pm BUT in the 12 Hour am/pm format.
echo           TIME          - Displays the Current System Time.
echo.
echo TREE    - This command Displays a Directory Structure in "Tree" format.
echo           Beginning with DOS Version 4, the tree is displayed in a
echo           "Graphics" format.
echo Examples: TREE C:\    - Displays a Directory Structure of Your C: Drive.
echo           TREE C:\ /F - Displays the Structure AND lists the files in
echo                         each Directory on C: Drive.
echo.

echo Examples: TYPE AUTOEXEC.BAT  - Displays the contents of the AUTOEXEC.BAT
echo                                file.
echo.
echo VER     - This command Displays the DOS Version Number Your System is
echo           operated by.

echo commands. Practice as You see fit, but one word of advice:
echo.
echo         You will not regret investing in a COMPLETE REFERENCE
echo         MANUAL for DOS.
echo         Quick references are helpful also, but an investment of
echo         a little more money will help You when You need it most!
