  33. |   BRIEF PROGRAM SUMMARY                                                     |
  34. `-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
  35.  
  36.  BIGDOS is a dos emulator like MiniDos in Obv/2, Renegade, etc. It will help
  37.  you to have fast and comfortable access to your HDD and to do DOS operations.
  38.  It executes COM, EXE and PPE files (as well as standart DOS commands). Since
  39.  BIGDOS uses program output redirection, you cannot use output redirecting
  40.  in command line.
  41.  
  42.  BIGDOS was coded using PPE functions like DOINTR and REGxx(), not DIRing then
  43.  reading results. INT 21h used for the following commands: CHDIR, MKDIR, RMDIR,
  44.  ChangeDrive. Tons of thanx to The Silicon Warrior for these routines.
  45.  
  46.  Firstly I decided to code full screen file manager like Norton Commander or
  47.  Terminate's one but later I changed my mind. Do we need any slow as hell full
  48.  screen applications? That isn't Windoze or OS/2! Command line rulez! =)

  58. `-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
  59.  
  60.  The only command ine parameter is the startup directory (default C:\), i.e.
  61.  BIGDOS.PPE D:\PCB\

  65. `-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
  66.  
  67.  This PPE is Free because I don't producing the $10 PPEs consisting only of
  68.  six lines of code. It may not be used on some shitty shareware cd or the such. 
  69.  Any my PPEs released are 100% backdoor free. If you find one in your version,
  70.  it WASN'T in the original source.
  71.  
  72.  You might ask me, "What about the source code?"... Yeah... I didn't include
  73.  it. There are a few reasons for it. First of all this PPE wasn't intended to
  74.  be kinda of tutorial. I don't want to give you any technical hints. Secondly,
  75.  I don't want to give any chances to suckers who add backdoors to PPEs then
  76.  redistributes it. Yeah scumbags... you have a snowball's chance in hell of
  77.  decompiling my PPEs. But source code is still available... if you want to get
  78.  it, try to post me some email.
