TROUBLESHOOTING
Q. When I run the OSASSIST utility and I select any of the menu options, I
receive the following error message:
"File not found. Press any key to continue:"
A. Most likely, you are running a version of DOS that is earlier than
3.00. If so, place the following command in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file:
SET OSASSISTDIR=<PATH>
where <PATH> is the name of the directory in which the OS/ASSIST
utilities have been installed. For example:
SET OSASSISTDIR=C:\OSASSIST
This command will instruct the OSASSIST utility where to look for the
files containing the help text.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. Even though I specify command arguments when I run the OS/ASSIST
utilities, I am always prompted for additional information.
A. The OS/ASSIST utilities will operate in two different modes, the NOVICE
mode and the EXPERT mode. When in NOVICE mode, you are prompted for
any information that is required to run the utility. In EXPERT mode,
you provide the information through command arguments.
The mode in which the utilities operate is controlled via the
environment variable ASSIST. When the utilities are initially
installed, the following command is placed in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file:
SET OSASSIST=NOVICE
If you wish to switch to the EXPERT mode, change this line in your
AUTOEXEC.BAT file to read as follows:
SET OSASSIST=EXPERT
Refer to the OS/ASSIST for DOS manual for more information regarding
this feature.
