- PC LABS BENCHMARK SERIES VERSION 5.1
- WHAT'S NEW
-
- The following changes and improvements appear in version 5.1:
-
- 1. Previous versions of the PC Labs Benchmark Series had a test
- called "Time the Timer." This test allowed the user to check
- the accuracy of the internal system clock. This test has been
- incorporated under the "HELP" menu and is now called "Timer
- Accuracy Test."
-
- 2. The DOS Disk Access Test would occasionally abort with a "20C"
- error code. This error ocurred when an attempt is made to read a
- bad disk sector. Version 5.1 addresses this problem by
- substituting a good disk sector for the bad one and restarting the
- test.
-
- 3. The results can now be viewed on the screen as well as seved to
- file. A new menu, "VIEW," has been added with "Results" as a
- selection. The results can be scrolled using the PgUp, PgDn, Home,
- End, Up Cursor, and Down Cursor keys. Hitting Esc exits the display.
-
- 4. A prompt has been added to allow the user to specify a file name
- when saving the results. The default filename, "PCLABS.ASC," will
- be used is a new file name is not entered.
-
- 5. The Help text has been altered to reflect the above changes.
