- ing your day-to-day application accessing and data handling &
- collection chores very simply and very easily.

- expert.

- intricacies of DOS will allow you to take special advantage of the
- SYSTEM MASTER features.

- as monochrome computer systems. It has been tested and has been
- proven to operate effectively on the following video adapters:
