DOSTIPS1.ARC/DOSTIPS2.ARC/DOSTIPS3.ARC
(Editted and compiled by Dean R. Wood)
November 25, 1985
The DOSTIPSx.ARC files are a compilation of articles from various
computer magazines accumulated over the past two years or so. I take
NO personal credit for authoring any of the articles; all I did was
type the articles into categories of files in the hope that they might
be useful to others. The magazines cited with the various articles
include:
COMPUTE! Magazine
Microsystems
PC Age
PC Magazine (User-to-User, PC Tutor, Power User, feature articles)
PC World (Star-Dot-Star, The Help Screen, feature articles)
You may find an occasional "tip" not attributed to a magazine or other
source.
There are three DOSTIPx.ARC files: DOSTIPS1.ARC, DOSTIPS2.ARC,
and DOSTIPS3.ARC. The contents of these files are:
DOSTIPS1.ARC: AST6PAK.TXT Switching printer ports with the AST6PAK
BATCH.TXT A tutorial on batch files
DESIGN.TXT Create screen designs
DOSBATCH.TXT Articles on uses for batch files
DOSCALL.TXT A tutorial

The files were produced with WordStar in nondocument (ASCII) mode.
