- ProDo v1.0 Copyright (c) 1989 Prodigy Technologies. All Rights
- Reserved World Wide.
-
- This is a quick manual, which is divided into five sections.
- Please read all of them before attempting to use ProDo. Thank you,
- Tony Gentile.
-
- ****************************
- * Section 1: What is ProDo *
- ****************************
-
- ProDo is a command stacking utility. With it, you can specify a
- list of programs (or DOS functions) to be executed in sequence.
- In addition to it's obvious use of command stacking, ProDo is a
- great tool for those people using a version of DOS prior to 3.3.
- Versions of DOS prior to v3.3 do not support the batch file CALL
- command. ProDo eliminates this problem.
-
- **********************************
- * Section 2: The ProDo Advantage *
- **********************************
-
- ProDo is my version of a Public Domain program, named DO. I wrote
- ProDo simply to improve on an already excellent program. The
- advantage ProDo offers is in memory usage. It requires 10k of your
- memory, while DO requires 19k.
-
- ***********************
- * Section 3: Warranty *
- ***********************
-
- PRODIGY Technologies makes no warranty of any kind, expressed or
- implied, including, without limitation, and warranties of
- merchantability and/or fitness for a particular purpose. PRODIGY
- Technologies shall not be liable for any damages, whether direct,
- indirect, special or consequential arising from a failure of this
- program to operate in the manner desired by the user.
-
- PRODIGY Technologies shall not be liable for any damage to data or
- property which may be caused directly or indirectly by the use of
- this program. IN NO EVENT will PRODIGY Technologies be liable to
- you for any damages, including any lost profits, lost savings or
- other incidental or consequential damages arising out of your use
- or inability to use the program, or from any claim by any other
- party.
-
- ***************************
- * Section 4: Registration *
- ***************************
-
- This program is distributed as a User Supported Software product.
- In other words, it's Shareware. Therefore, you are granted a
- limited license to use the program for a trial period. This trial
- period shall be thirty (30) days. After thirty days, you must
- either register ProDo or discontinue it's use.
-
- The COST of registration depends on who (or what) you are. If you
- are a person, using ProDo on your home computer for whatever
- purpose, you must register by sending me a postcard. I think this
- is an entirely resonable request. It should cost you no more then
- $0.75, unless you decide to get fancy. I'd like to collect a card
- from every state in the nation, and maybe some from abroad.
-
- Now, if you are an institution or business of any sort, you must
- register by sending $5.00 for the first copy, and $1.00 for each
- copy after that.

- **************************
- * Section 5: Using ProDo *
- **************************
-
- First, ProDo is of most use if you place it somewhere where it
- will be in your PATH statement. That goes without saying.
-
- To use ProDo, just enter ProDo, followed by the commands you
- want to run - seperate each with a semi-colon. Here are a few
- examples:
-
- PRODO DIR;CHKDSK;EDLIN AUTOEXEC.BAT;DIR
-
- or :
-
- PRODO DIR *.* /P;VERIFY ON;COPY *.* A:VERIFY OFF;DIR A:*.*
-
