HELPSB DOS 3.x 4.x OS/2 Help Utility Version 1.10 09-15-89
No Copyright. No Rights Reserved. Share freely and benefit.
The files DISK1.ZIP and DISK2.ZIP contain help for users of DOS-
based personal computers. The primary ways that this help utility
differs from a number of others is:
- non-technical orientation. It is intended for non-technical
users, and includes a section of definitions (NEW_TERMS)
just for them. It will run from floppies or hard disks.
- scope. It covers the commands of DOS 3.x, DOS 4.x, and
some aspects of OS/2 in detail.
- examples. For almost every command, a collection of
annotated examples is provided.
- batch file coverage. Extensive information on the use of
BAT files, and examples of their use, is provided.
The information is structured in VMS HELP fashion as a collection
of almost 400 small files in more than 100 subdirectories. The PKZIP
program was used to produce files DISK1.ZIP and DISK2.ZIP. Each file
just fits on a 5 1/4" floppy disk.
Use PKUNZIP -DX to unzip them (either to floppies or to one subdirectory
on a hard disk or a 3 1/2" diskette) and read the README file on DISK1.
PKUNZIP -XD doesn't preserve the subdirectory structure. If you unzip to
a hard disk, there will be two HELP.LKP file duplicates and one HELP.HLM
duplicate. Answer Y or N to the overwrite question from PKUNZIP, because
they really are duplicates, and are there for those who unzip to two
floppy disks.
Robert P. Scott wrote the HELPOUT program used, and John M. Baird
prepared the help files. If you find HELPSB helpful, and convenient
to use, a registration fee would be appreciated. No money is
requested or expected. Fees take the form of enhancements to
existing files or suggestions for improvements to them. Please state
the version of HELPSB that you currently have. Send those fees to:
