ASQ is a systems analysis and turorial utility which can be used to
inspect a PC's setup as well as learn about the inner workings of the
machine.  In addition to providing an extensive hardware summary which
lists critical information about the system, ASQ also offers
diagnostic reports concerning low and high DOS usage and EMS/XMS
memory allocation.	The on-line tutorial provides an introduction to
memory management issues and terms.  ASQ has the ability to inspect
system configurations and recommend changes to increase system
performance and optimize resource allocation.

Though ASQ is extremely useful as a stand alone utility, the program
also provides a valuable feature which aids troubleshooting across
multiple systems.  The SNAPSHOT feature allows diagnostic information
to be saved to a file for later comparison on another PC with ASQ
installed.	Since ASQ functions independently of Qualitas MAX, the
SNAPSHOT and summary information are quite helpful if the need arises
to contact Qualitas Technical Support.

Troubleshooting ASQ
-------------------

If you are experiencing problems when running ASQ, the issue can
probably be resolved by using a command line parameter or ASQ
configuration option.  Command line options are specified when
invoking ASQ at the DOS prompt (i.e.  ASQ /V ). Options such as:

	/B	force monochrome mode
	/C	force color mode
	/V	inhibit graphics logo on startup

can be used to work around video issues.

	NOTESTDISKCACHE 	 disables disk cache diagnostics on startup
	NOTESTEMS			 disables EMS memory diagnostics on startup
	NOTESTMEM			 disables memory map diagnostics on startup
	NOTESTVGA			 disables VGA video diagnostics on startup

If you experience problems, contact Qualitas Technical Support for
additional help.
