- | Medium Description |

-

- | Long Description |
- +------------------+
-
- DOS Summary is a hypertext tutorial and reference product which covers
- all DOS commands and drivers through MS-DOS version 5.0. The program
- can be used in tutorial mode for learning DOS commands in either
- alphabetical order or by command groupings. Additional tutorial material
- on memory management and optimization plus what happens when DOS starts
- is provided. Hypertext organization allows the user to follow any
- education path that suits their needs.
-
- The program can be operated in standalone mode at the DOS prompt using
- either menus or command mode (e.g. start with DOSSUM or DOSSUM <command>
- from the DOS prompt). When started in command mode you will be brought
- to the closest command listing which matches the command you specified,
- so you do not need to spell the full command or spell the command
- correctly.
-
- The program can also be operated in resident mode using conventional or
- expanded memory. This allows it to remain resident in your computer
- and be called up via hotkey as necessary. In this latter mode you can
- apply one hotkey to bring the program up to the last command examined
- or another to bring it up based on the word at the cursor position.
-
- Registered users are given a 190-page manual which includes copies of
- the screen text plus examples which do not appear in any shareware or
- registered software version. Also included (with permission) is a copy
- of the Qualitas program ASQ.EXE; a diagnostic and analysis program for
- memory use and additional evaluation software or offers from Shareable
- Software International. {ASP}
