-
-
- INTRODUCTION
-
-
- Welcome, and thanks for purchasing 4DOS for Windows NT!
-
- We developed 4DOS for Windows NT to bring the power and convenience
- of our popular 4DOS and 4OS2 programs to users of the Windows NT
- operating system. Whether you are a computer novice or an
- experienced user, 4DOS/NT will help you get the most out of your
- Windows NT system.
-
- The complete name of this product is "4DOS for the Windows NT
- Operating System." For brevity in the manuals, we often refer to
- it as "4DOS for Windows NT," "4DOS/NT," or to the program file
- name, 4NT.EXE or just 4NT. When "4DOS" is used by itself, the
- reference is to our DOS product. If you are already familiar with
- 4DOS, please note that 4DOS for Windows NT is a complete Windows NT
- application, and not simply a version of 4DOS running under Windows
- NT's DOS capabilities.
-
- Technically, 4DOS for Windows NT is a command interpreter. That
- means that it reacts to the commands you type at the [C:\] prompt.
- It replaces CMD.EXE, the default command interpreter that is
- supplied with Windows NT. 4DOS/NT offers hundreds of enhancements,
- yet retains full compatibility with CMD.EXE commands and batch
- files.
-
- If you are familiar with 4DOS, 4OS2, or the Windows NT command
- prompt, you won't have to change your computing habits or unlearn
- anything to use 4DOS/NT. If you know how to use commands to
- display a directory, copy a file, or start an application program,
- you already know how to use 4DOS/NT. And if you are a 4DOS user,
- you already know how to use most of the advanced features that we
- have built into 4DOS/NT. You can even use many of your 4DOS batch
- files with 4DOS/NT (see Chapter 3 of the Reference Manual for tips
- about making batch files work properly in both environments).
-
- Once you have 4DOS/NT installed, you can learn its new features at
- your own pace. Relax, enjoy 4DOS/NT's power, and browse through
- the manuals occasionally. Press the F1 key whenever you need help.
- 4DOS/NT will soon become an essential part of your computer, and
- you'll wonder how you ever got along without it.
-
- If you want to take 4DOS/NT for a spin without performing a
- complete installation, see the separate Guided Tour documentation.
-
- We are constantly working to improve 4DOS for Windows NT. If you
- have suggestions for features or commands that we should include in
- the next version, or any other way we could improve our product,
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------

-
- INTRODUCTION
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- please let us know. Many of the features in this version of
- 4DOS/NT were suggested by our users. We can't promise to include
- every suggestion, but we really do appreciate and pay attention to
- your comments.
-
-
- How to Use This Manual
-
- This manual is only one part of the documentation that you
- will need for 4DOS/NT. It introduces the product and will
- help you install 4DOS/NT correctly on your computer. It will
- also help you understand some of the terms and concepts that
- you will need to know to get the most from 4DOS/NT.
-
- The second part of our documentation is the separate Reference
- Manual. It contains complete information about the commands
- and features of 4DOS/NT, plus its sister programs, 4DOS and
- 4DOS for Windows NT.
-
- You should start with this introductory manual whether you are
- new to 4DOS/NT or you are upgrading from a previous version.
- Once you have successfully installed 4DOS/NT, you can move
- back and forth between this manual and the Reference Manual.
-
- For the sake of clarity, we have chosen not to indicate each
- of the dozens of places in this manual where you can refer to
- the Reference Manual for additional information. If you see a
- reference here to a 4DOS/NT command, the initialization file
- 4NT.INI, or any 4DOS/NT feature, you can be sure that detailed
- information on that topic is available in the Reference
- Manual.
-
- 4DOS/NT also includes complete online help for all of its
- built-in commands. The online help provides much of the
- information that is in the Reference Manual, but in an
- electronic form which you can access quickly. See page 11 for
- more details about using the online help.
-
- Files distributed with 4DOS/NT cover important additional
- information beyond what's included in the manuals. README.DOC
- contains general notes, highlights of the latest release, and
- brief installation instructions for those upgrading from a
- downloaded copy, and UPDATxxx.DOC contains detailed
- information for users with older versions on what has changed
- in the latest release ("xxx" is the version number).
-
- You will likely find some parts of the documentation too
- simple or too technical for your tastes. Unless you are
- convinced that one of those sections holds just the
- information you need for a specific task, feel free to skip to
-

-
- INTRODUCTION
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- the next part of the manual that is more to your liking. You
- can use almost every feature of 4DOS/NT without having to
- worry about other features or commands.
-
-
- Customer Service and Technical Support
-
- Technical support for 4DOS/NT is available via public
- electronic support conferences, private electronic mail,
- telephone, fax, and mail. For complete details, including a
- listing of electronic support conferences, see your Reference
- Manual.
-
- Customer service is always available through the telephone and
- fax numbers listed on the title page of this manual. See your
- Reference Manual or the online help for electronic mail
- addresses for our Sales and Customer Service departments.

- CHAPTER 1 / INSTALLATION
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
- CHAPTER 1 / INSTALLATION
-
-
-
- Installing 4DOS for Windows NT
-
- To install 4DOS/NT you must copy the files from your
- distribution disk using the INSTALL program, then create one
- or more desktop objects to run 4DOS/NT. This section explains
- how to copy the files to your hard disk. See the next section
- for details on creating and configuring desktop objects for
- 4DOS/NT.
-
- If you're installing a downloaded copy of 4DOS/NT, you will
- not have an INSTALL program. Instead, use the appropriate
- decompression program (for example, PKUNZIP) to extract the
- files from your download into a new directory. Then follow
- the instructions below to complete your installation. If you
- are updating from a previous version, check the README.DOC
- file for update instructions.
-
- To begin the installation process, open a command prompt
- window (use the "MS-DOS" object which comes with Windows NT)
- and put the 4DOS/NT distribution diskette in drive A. (You
- can use drive B if you prefer, in which case you should
- substitute "b" for "a" in the instructions below.)
-
- One of the files on the distribution diskette, README.1ST,
- contains information that you should read before you install
- 4DOS/NT on your computer. Type:
-
- type a:readme.1st | more
-
- to view the file. If you want to print a copy of the file,
- type:
-
- copy a:readme.1st prn
-
- After checking README.1ST, you can start the installation
- process. Type:
-
- a:install
-
- and press the Enter key.
-
- Once the installation program has started, just follow the
- instructions on the screen and 4DOS/NT will install itself on
- your system.
-
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
- Copr. 1994 JP Software Inc. 4DOS/NT Intro. & Install. Guide / 4
-
- CHAPTER 1 / INSTALLATION
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- If you want to run the Guided Tour to familiarize yourself
- with 4DOS/NT, first install the files using the Full
- Installation option on INSTALL's main menu. Then see the
- separate Guided Tour booklet (distributed with new copies of
- 4DOS/NT) for details on running the Tour.
-
- The 4DOS/NT files are contained in a special library file on
- the distribution diskette. You cannot simply copy the files
- from the diskette onto your system. You must use the
- installation program to extract and decompress the 4DOS/NT
- files if you want to perform a manual installation, or if you
- need to replace a damaged 4DOS/NT file on your hard disk.
-
- You can halt the installation process at any time by pressing
- Ctrl-X (hold down the Ctrl key and then press "X").
-
- If you also have our DOS command processor, 4DOS, do not
- install 4DOS/NT in the same directory as 4DOS. Some file
- names (for example README.DOC) are the same in both products,
- and the files should be kept separate to avoid confusion.
-
-
- Creating 4DOS for Windows NT Desktop Objects
-
- Once you've extracted the 4DOS for Windows NT files, use the
- following steps to create a 4DOS/NT object in the Main group
- on your Windows NT desktop (use a different group if you
- prefer):
-
- * Select the "Main" group.
-
- * Select the Program Manager "File" menu.
-
- * Select "New."
-
- * Select "Program item."
-
- * Enter "4DOS/NT," or any other title you desire, in the
- Description field.
-
- * Enter the full pathname for 4NT.EXE in the Command
- Line field (for example, "C:\4NT20\4NT.EXE").
-
- * Enter the directory in which you want the 4DOS/NT
- window to start (if any) in the Working Directory
- field.
-
- * Click on "Change Icon."
-
-
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
- Copr. 1994 JP Software Inc. 4DOS/NT Intro. & Install. Guide / 5
-
- CHAPTER 1 / INSTALLATION
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- * If you receive an error indicating that there are no
- icons in the file and therefore a Program Manager icon
- will be used, ignore the error and click on "OK."
-
- * In the file name field, enter the full pathname for
- the 4NT.ICO file distributed with 4DOS/NT (for
- example, "C:\4NT20\4NT.ICO").
-
- * Click on "OK" to accept the icon.
-
- * Click on "OK" to accept the entry.
-
- This creates a basic desktop object which starts 4DOS/NT. For
- more details on configuring and tuning 4DOS/NT, see Chapter 2.
-
-
- 4DOS/NT Files and Directories
-
- The installation procedure places all 4DOS for Windows NT
- files in a single directory. You may move the files to
- different directories, if you wish, but you do have to make
- sure that the files can be found by the programs that need to
- use them. The following information will help you set up your
- system correctly:
-
- 4NT.EXE is the 4DOS for Windows NT program file. It must
- be in the directory specified in the Command Line field
- of every 4DOS for Windows NT object.
-
- 4NT.HLP contains the text for the 4DOS for Windows NT
- HELP command and F1 key. 4NT.HLP must be in the same
- directory as 4NT.EXE.
-
- SHRALIAS.EXE is a small utility that saves the shared
- alias and history lists when 4DOS for Windows NT is not
- running. SHRALIAS.EXE is normally stored in the same
- directory as 4NT.EXE. The directory containing this file
- should be listed in your PATH statement.
-
-
- Uninstalling 4DOS/NT
-
- We don't expect you to have any trouble using 4DOS/NT, but we
- know some people feel more comfortable knowing how to
- uninstall a product as well as install it. Or, you may need
- to remove 4DOS/NT from one system to move it to another
- system.
-
- 4DOS for Windows NT doesn't make any changes to the Windows NT
- system files. To remove 4DOS/NT, all you need to do is change
-

-
- or delete any objects that refer directly to 4NT.EXE. You can
- then delete the 4DOS for Windows NT files from your hard
- drive.

- -------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
- CHAPTER 2 / CONFIGURATION
-
-
- This chapter explains how you can tune 4DOS/NT to make it as
- efficient and as useful as possible in your computing environment.
- Nearly everything in this chapter is for advanced users and those
- with unusual needs. If 4DOS/NT works the way you want it to after
- installation, you can skip this chapter. You may, however, want to
- skim this material to see what options are available.
-
-
- Creating and Configuring 4DOS/NT Objects
-
- You will typically start 4DOS/NT from an object on your
- Windows NT desktop. You can create as many 4DOS/NT objects as
- you wish on the desktop. Different objects can be used to
- start 4DOS/NT in different modes, with different startup
- commands or options, or to run different batch files or other
- commands. You can use these objects to run commonly-used
- commands and batch files directly from the Windows NT desktop.
-
- Each object represents a different 4DOS/NT window. You can
- use the Properties screen for the object to set any necessary
- command line parameters for 4DOS/NT such as a command to be
- executed, any desired switches, and the name and path for
- 4NT.INI. More information on command line switches and
- options for 4DOS/NT is included later in this section.
-
- For general information on creating and configuring desktop
- objects, see your Windows NT documentation. See page 5 of
- this manual for an example of how to create a new object for
- 4DOS/NT.
-
- When you configure a 4DOS/NT object, place the full path and
- name for the 4NT.EXE file in the Command Line field, and put
- any startup options that you want passed to 4DOS/NT (e.g.,
- @inifile) after the 4NT.EXE file name. For example:
-
- Command Line: C:\4NT20\4NT.EXE @C:\4NT.INI
- Working directory: C:\
-
- To run a startup batch file when a particular 4DOS/NT object
- is started, include the batch file name (with a path, if the
- file is not in the startup directory) as the last item in the
- Command Line field. That batch file will be executed after
- any 4START file but before the first prompt is displayed. You
- can use the batch file to set environment variables and
- execute any other 4DOS/NT commands. You can also execute any
- internal 4DOS/NT command, external command, or alias by
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
- Copr. 1994 JP Software Inc. 4DOS/NT Intro. & Install. Guide / 8
-
- CHAPTER 2 / CONFIGURATION
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- placing its name in the Parameters field. When you set up a
- batch file or other command to run in this way you are using
- the command option (see below). For example:
-
- Command Line: C:\4NT20\4NT.EXE STARTNT.CMD
- Working directory: C:\
-
- To execute an internal or external command, an alias, or a
- batch file and then exit (return to the desktop) when it is
- done, place /C command (rather than just command) as the last
- item in the Parameters field. For example:
-
- Command Line: D:\4NT20\4NT.EXE /C COMFILES.BTM
- Working directory: C:\
-
-
- 4DOS/NT Command Line Options
-
- The 4DOS/NT command line does not need to contain any
- information. When invoked with an empty command line, 4DOS/NT
- will configure itself from the 4NT.INI file, run 4START, and
- then display a prompt and wait for you to type a command.
- However, you may add information to the 4DOS/NT command line
- that will affect the way it operates.
-
- Command line options for primary shells are set in the Command
- Line field of the 4DOS/NT object. Command line options for
- secondary shells can be set on the secondary shell command
- line.
-
- 4DOS/NT recognizes several optional fields on the command
- line. All of the options go on one line. If you use more
- than one of these fields, their order is important. The
- syntax for the command line is:
-
- [d:\path] [@d:\path\inifile] [//iniline]... [/L] [/LA]
- [/LH] [/Q]
- [/S] [/C | /K] [command]
-
- In the descriptions below, d: means a drive letter and \path
- means a subdirectory name.
-
- d:\path: 4DOS/NT will use this directory and path to set
- the COMSPEC environment variable for this window. If
- this option is not used, COMSPEC is set from the location
- of 4NT.EXE. Since 4DOS/NT always knows what drive and
- directory it was started from, there is little reason to
- use this option. It is included only for compatibility
- with CMD.EXE. This option cannot be used for secondary
- shells.
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
- Copr. 1994 JP Software Inc. 4DOS/NT Intro. & Install. Guide / 9
-
- CHAPTER 2 / CONFIGURATION
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- @d:\path\inifile: This option sets the path and name of
- the 4NT.INI file. You do not need this option if you
- aren't using a 4NT.INI file, or if the file is named
- 4NT.INI and is stored in the same directory as 4NT.EXE or
- in the root directory of the boot drive. This option is
- most useful if you want to start a 4DOS/NT window with a
- specific and unique .INI file.
-
- //iniline: This option tells 4DOS/NT to treat the text
- appearing between the // and the next space or tab as a
- 4NT.INI directive. The directive should be in the same
- format as a line in 4NT.INI, but it may not contain
- spaces, tabs, or comments. This option overrides any
- corresponding directive in your 4NT.INI file. It is a
- convenient way to send 4DOS/NT one or two simple
- directives without modifying or creating a new 4NT.INI
- file.
-
- /L, /LA, and /LH: These options force 4DOS/NT to use a
- local alias and / or history list. This allows you to
- use global aliases as the default, but start a specific
- 4DOS/NT window with local aliases or history. See your
- Reference Manual for details on local and global aliases
- and history. /LA forces local aliases, /LH forces local
- history, and /L forces both local aliases and local
- history.
-
- /Q: This option has no effect. It is included only for
- compatibility with CMD.EXE.
-
- /S: This option tells 4DOS/NT that you do not want it to
- set up a Ctrl-C / Ctrl-Break handler. It is included for
- compatibility with CMD.EXE, but it may cause the system
- to operate incorrectly if you use this option without
- other software to handle Ctrl-C and Ctrl-Break. This
- option should be avoided by most users.
-
- [/C | /K] command: This option tells 4DOS/NT to run a
- command when it starts. The command will be run after
- 4START has been executed and before any command prompt is
- displayed. It can be any valid internal or external
- command, batch file, or alias; you may include multiple
- commands by using the command separator. All other
- startup options must be placed before the command,
- because 4DOS/NT will treat characters after the command
- as part of the command and not as additional startup
- options.
-
- When the command is preceded by a /C, 4DOS/NT will
- execute the command and then exit and return to the
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
- Copr. 1994 JP Software Inc. 4DOS/NT Intro. & Install. Guide / 10
-
- CHAPTER 2 / CONFIGURATION
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- parent program or the Windows NT desktop without
- displaying a prompt.
-
- The /K switch has no effect; using it is the same as
- placing the command (without a /C or /K) at the end of
- the startup command line. It is included only for
- compatibility with CMD.EXE.
-
-
- 4DOS/NT Help
-
- Complete on-line help for all 4DOS/NT commands and features is
- provided with 4DOS/NT. Help is invoked with the HELP command
- or the F1 key. 4DOS/NT's help text does not cover the Windows
- NT external commands because they are included in Windows NT's
- built-in Command Reference.
-
- When you start the 4DOS/NT help system, 4DOS/NT opens a new
- window to run the standard Windows NT help program. The help
- program displays the help text and lets you browse through it.
-
- If you invoke the help system from a 4DOS/NT window on the
- Windows NT desktop, you will be returned to that window when
- you close the help program. However, if you have switched the
- window to full-screen mode before invoking the help system,
- you must return to 4DOS/NT manually (using standard Windows NT
- methods for switching between windows). This is due to the
- design of Windows NT Help and is not a limitation of 4DOS/NT.
-
- You can also keep the help window on the screen and return to
- the 4DOS/NT window, switching between the two windows as
- needed. This may be useful when you are writing a batch file,
- working on a complex command, or experimenting with 4DOS/NT.
-
- In order for the 4DOS/NT help system to work properly, the
- help text file, 4NT.HLP, must be in the same directory as
- 4NT.EXE.
-
- If you wish, you can set up a separate object for 4DOS/NT help
- which can be invoked from your desktop. To do so, create an
- object with a command line like this:
-
- Command Line: WINHELP C:\4NT20\4NT.HLP
-
- (Change the drive and path to reflect the location of 4DOS/NT
- on your system.)
-
- 4DOS/NT also supports the /? switch to display help for any
- command. Using /? will display help for the command using the
- Windows NT help system.
-

-
- CHAPTER 2 / CONFIGURATION
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Using 4START and 4EXIT
-
- 4DOS/NT executes two batch files automatically: 4START is run
- whenever 4DOS/NT starts, and 4EXIT is run whenever 4DOS/NT
- exits. 4START and 4EXIT can be .CMD, .BAT, or .BTM files.
-
- If you create 4START.BTM and 4EXIT.BTM files, you can use them
- for both 4DOS/NT and 4DOS. Use the IFF command and the %_DOS
- internal variable to separate commands which should be
- executed under only one operating system.
-
- If you prefer to use different files for 4DOS/NT and 4DOS, you
- can use 4START.CMD for 4DOS/NT and 4START.BAT for 4DOS. You
- could name your 4EXIT files similarly. You can also keep the
- 4START and 4EXIT files separate by placing the files for
- 4DOS/NT in the 4DOS/NT directory and the files for 4DOS in the
- 4DOS directory.
-
- If 4DOS/NT is started with the [/C] command option, 4START is
- executed before the command.
-
- See your Reference Manual for more information on 4START and
- 4EXIT.
-
- If you prefer, you can create a file with a name other than
- 4START (for example, STARTNT.CMD) and put its name in the
- Parameters field for any 4DOS/NT object (see page 8). Doing
- so has two advantages. The file will only be started when a
- primary 4DOS/NT shell is started, not under a secondary shell
- or under 4DOS. Also, you can then use different startup files
- for different 4DOS/NT windows.
-
- For example, you might create a file called STARTNTA.CMD which
- executes commands for one window, and another file
- STARTNTB.CMD which executes different commands for a different
- window. You could then set up two objects with these
- settings:
-
- Command Line: C:\4NT20\4NT.EXE C:\STARTNTA.CMD
- Working directory: C:\
-
- Command Line: C:\4NT20\4NT.EXE C:\STARTNTB.CMD
- Working directory: C:\
