- IBM PERSONAL COMPUTER ON-LINE HELP
- V5.1 by D.N.Ikle' 01/20/85
- For public domain use only
-
-
- On-Line HELP is designed to provide an on-line description of all
- the commands and utilities available on an IBM PC/XT or PC
- compatible hard disk system under IBM PC DOS 3.x plus a variety
- of additional utilities. Since all descriptions are stored in
- text files, On-Line HELP can easily be tailored to describe any
- particular system configuration. An abbreviated version can also
- be installed on a floppy disk based PC or PC compatible system
- under IBM or MS DOS 2.x.
-
- On-Line HELP is distributed on bulletin boards in the two archive
- files PC-HELP1.ARC and PC-HELP2.ARC. The public domain utility
- ARC is required to extract the individual files.
-
- PC-HELP1.ARC contains everything needed to install HELP and to
- describe IBM DOS 3.1 commands. The files included are:
-
- PC-HELP.DOC Description of the archive files.
- TEMPLATE Skeleton HELP display file.
- HELP.COM On-Line HELP program.
- HELP.DOC Documentation for On-Line HELP.
- DPATH.COM Public domain path extender utility.
- DPATH.DOC Documentation for DPATH.
- HELP.### Detailed HELP for On-Line HELP.
- COMMAND1.### Annotated list of IBM DOS 3.1 commands.
- HELPDOS3.ARC HELP files for IBM DOS 3.1 commands.
-
- PC-HELP2.ARC contains additional HELP files that describe the
- Norton Utilities Version 3.1 and 24 common public domain
- utilities, in addition to the Turbo Pascal Version 3.0 source
- code for HELP. The files included are:
-
- PC-HELP.DOC Description of the archive files.
- HELP.PAS Turbo Pascal source code for On-Line HELP.
- COMMAND2.### Annotated list of all commands/utilities.
- HELPNORT.ARC HELP files for the Norton Utilities 3.1.
- HELPPUBL.ARC HELP files for public domain utilities.
-
- Version 5.0 incorporates numerous improvements that enhance
- program function and speed its execution. For example, the
- instruction screen is stored internally as an array, the heap is
- used to save and restore the initial display screen, all writing
- to the screen is done through the screen buffer, and the keyword
- entry field on the main menu has full editing capability. This
- version has been tested on an IBM PC/XT, an IBM AT, and on
- several PC clones using both color and monochrome monitors.
-
- Version 5.1 blanks the cursor when HELP screens are displayed,
- displays the menu and HELP screens in color on a color monitor,
- and includes minor changes to the documentation.
