This is the opening screen. It's meant to remind you as to which pages
shows what information. Hitting the <HOME> key will always move you to this
page.
The keys that are active on this page, and all others are:
<F1> This will display a help screen for the page you are on.
While displaying help:
<UpArrow> will move the display up 1 line.
<DnArrow> will move the display down 1 line.
<PgUp> will move the display up 1 screen.
<PgDn> will move the display down 1 screen.
<HOME> will display the first page of help.
<END> will display the last page of help.
<ESC> will end the help session.
<ESC> This will abort INFOPLUS and return you to DOS.
<ENTER> A prompt will appear on the bottom line asking which page you
want to go to. Type in the number, and then hit <ENTER> to jump
immediately to that page. If you don't type a number and hit
<ENTER>, Infoplus will re-start the current page.
<PgUp> This will move you back one page.
<PgDn> This will move you forward one page.
<HOME> This will move you to page 0.
<END> This will move you to that last page.
<ALT+P> This is if you want to send a screen of data to the printer or to a
file on disk. Just follow the prompts on the screen. Pressing <ESC>
at any of these prompts will cancel the printscreen operation.
When asked about Normal or IBM ASCII: if you pick Normal, any
characters on screen that are not part of the standard ASCII set
(such as line drawing characters) will be converted into the
closest equivalent normal ASCII character.
The page is printed with a header at the top giving the Page
number, it's description, and the date and time. You may optionally
add a line of your own, which you could use to identify the
computer it's on, or similar.
Unlike using the PrtScr (or PrintScrn) key, only the data part of
the screen is printed. Not the very top and bottom lines.
<DnArw> Some screens hold more information than can be shown at once. Press
the Down Arrow key to get the extra information.
<UpArw> Some screens that are long let you go back to review already
displayed data.
When starting INFOPLUS, you can use some command-line parameters.
Syntax:
INFOPLUS [B][D][M][C][F][NP][NV][AP[:filename]][H][?]
where:
B = Write to screen using BIOS (default under Desqview)
D = Write directly to screen memory (default)
M = Use monochrome colors (default under MODE BWxx)
C = Use normal colors (default)
F = Leave 16550 FIFO's enabled
NV = Do not perform VGA chipset detection
NP = Do not read Partition Table
AP = AutoPrint all screens, ask for setup
AP:filename = AutoPrint to a file or device
H or ? = This help screen
ex: INFOPLUS B M NV
Run INFOPLUS using BIOS, monochrome colors, no VGA check.
