- PowerMaster Quick Reference Manual
-
-
-
-
- 1.1. INTRODUCTION: PC-Wizard PowerMaster is designed to fully automate all
- of your computer processing requirements and to facilitate the learning of the
- DOS commands that are the "heart and soul" of the computer's amazing power.
-
- With PC-Wizard PowerMaster you can run your favorite application program by
- selecting it from the PC-Wizard Programs Menu and then immediately prepare a
- backup of your changes by accessing the PC-Wizard Backups Menu. You can add,
- change, or delete your programs and backup menu selections quickly and easily
- by accessing the PC-Wizard Setup modules. These modules can be accessed direct-
- ly from the menu screens by pressing <S> or by selecting the <Set-Ups> option
- from the Main Menu.
-
- These features alone make PC-Wizard PowerMaster one of the most powerful prod-
- uctivity tools available today. However, with the addition of the PC-Wizard
- Manager you have been taken to the next generation of computer usefulness,
- efficiency and POWER!
-
- The PC-Wizard Manager not only allows you to execute any, and ALL, commands
- that can be entered from the normal DOS prompt, but actually TEACHES you how
- to use each of these commands. Through this revolutionary new approach, even
- first-time computer users will be capable of mastering the complexities of DOS
- in a matter of hours by viewing all needed instructions for each command
- on-screen and then immediately executing the command from the PC-Wizard Manager
- Command Line.
-
- PC-Wizard also records every command that you issue from the Manager Command
- Line and places them in an ACTIVITY.LOG file. This log file contains the actual
- command that you issued, the time and date that you issued it, and also tells
- you how long it took your computer to execute the command. This gives you a
- complete history of your computer activity that is invaluable for performing
- trouble-shooting functions, measuring the computer's performance speed, and
- also alerting you to items that you may have missed, such as backing-up files
- that have been recently created or modified.
-
- The ACTIVITY.LOG file is also updated each time that you run a program from the
- PC-Wizard Programs Menu and when you perform backup operations from the PCW
- Backups Menu.
-
- One of the most unique, and POWERFUL, features of PowerMaster Plus+ is that it
- automatically removes itself from memory prior to running of the selections
- made from the Programs Menus. This allows you to run even your largest account-
- ing or database programs from within PowerMaster without fear of running out of
- precious RAM memory needed by those programs. PowerMaster is also completely
- reliable for running of communications programs without interference or con-
- flict of any kind. (As a point of illustration, the PowerMaster Plus+ programs
- contained on your distribution disk were compiled without error directly from a
- PowerMaster menu selection!)
-
- This version of PC-Wizard includes the PowerMaster GATEWAY. The Gateway allows
- you to designate up to 45 individuals who are allowed access to your computer
- system and to specify the degree of access each user is allowed. Each user is
- assigned a unique User ID No., Password and one of the following Access Level
- Codes:
-
- 1. SYSTEM ADMINISTRATOR: This access level permits UNRESTRICTED ACCESS to
- the entire system and all PowerMaster modules and features.
-
- The first user record (No. 01) that is created upon initial installation
- of PowerMaster is automatically designated as the administrator and will
- normally be the owner of the computer system. This administrator and the
- individuals who are designated Sub-Administrators (Access Level 9) are
- the ONLY users who are allowed access to the Gateway and Backups modules
-
- 2. PROGRAMS/MANAGER *F*: This access level permits FULL access to PROGRAMS
- menus and the PowerMaster MANAGER.
-
- 3. PROGRAMS/MANAGER *R*: This access level permits access to the MANAGER
- and RESTRICTED access to PROGRAMS menus.
-
- During set-up of these users the administrator designates which of the
- 10 Programs Menus that the user is authorized to access by entering a
- "Y" to indicate that access to that menu level IS PERMITTED or by ent-
- ering "N" to indicate that access to that menu level is DENIED!
-
- 4. PROGRAMS ONLY *F*: This access level permits FULL access to all PROGRAMS
- menus, but DENIES access to the PowerMaster MANAGER.
-
- 5. PROGRAMS ONLY *R*: This access level DENIES access to the MANAGER and
- permits RESTRICTED access to the PROGRAMS menus.
-
- 9. SUB-ADMINISTRATOR: This access level permits UNRESTRICTED ACCESS to the
- entire system and is identical to Access Level 1 except that these users
- are DENIED access to the Systems Administrator's Password and are not
- authorized to change the PowerMaster EXITCODE which controls access to
- the DOS-level command line.
-
- The Gateway feature allows a stand-alone computer to be used by many different
- users in a multi-user environment much like a typical network. Through the use
- of access levels and passwords, the owner of the system can designate WHO uses
- the system and WHAT they are allowed/authorized to do while they are using the
- system.
-
- Additionally, each user is provided a separate ACTIVITY.LOG file that records
- all system's usage and activities. The systems administrator and the designated
- sub-administrators can access each of these ACTIVITY.LOG files from the Gateway
- module at any time that they desire and monitor the activity of each user of
- the system.
-
- The administrator may also desire to use the Gateway as a means of managing and
- recording the activity that is performed on a special project. This is easily
- accomplished by setting-up the project as a "dummy" user record and using this
- project's ID No. and password when performing work on the project. The activity
- log created for this "user" can serve as a tracking record for the project and
- can also be used to support hourly billings that are associated with performing
- work on the project.
-
-
- 1.2 SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: To use the PC-Wizard PowerMaster Software your
- computer must meet a few basic hardware requirements:
-
-
- * An IBM PC/XT/AT computer (and most compatibles), a hard disk drive and 1
- double-sided, double-density floppy disk drive. (Memory requirements will
- depend on the type of application programs that you will be executing.)
-
- * PC-DOS or MS-DOS, version 3.3 or later. (Version 3.3 is recommended.)
-
- * Monochrome or color monitor and keyboard.
-
- Note: PC-Wizard's screen colors can easily be adapted to your specific monitor
- simply by adjusting the contrast and brightness controls. Screen colors will
- change dramatically depending on the setting of these controls.
-
-
- 1.3 PC-WIZARD INSTALLATION: To install PC-Wizard onto your hard disk, simp-
- ly place the PC-Wizard diskette in the A: floppy disk drive and at C:\ prompt
- type A:INSTALL and press the <Enter> key.
-
- When prompted to do so, provide the requested information concerning which
- hard disk drive that you desire to have PC-Wizard installed on. The install
- routine will automatically create a directory named QTMASTER on the selected
- hard disk drive and transfer all of the PC-Wizard program and data files to
- that directory. It will also create a batch file named PCW.BAT and place it in
- the root directory on drive C: and then automatically display the PC-Wizard
- Master Menu.
-
- At this point it is recommended that you complete the PC-Wizard Quick Reference
- Card that contains all of the information that you will need in order to set-up
- your programs and backups menus during the PC-Wizard Set-up step that follows.
- (The PC-Wizard Reference Card can be printed now by issuing the command "PRINT
- \QTMASTER\REFCARD.DOC" from the <WildCard> option of the PCW Manager screen.)
-
- Each time that PC-Wizard PowerMaster Plus+ is accessed a NOTICE screen will be
- displayed. The information on this screen is used to determine whether the
- program version installed on your computer is an "EVALUATION" or a "REGISTERED"
- PowerMaster Plus+ program. (e.g., " Distributed By: " indicates an unregistered
- "EVALUATION" copy; while " * Registered To * " indicates a REGISTERED version.
- The NOTICE screen can be re-accessed at any time from any of the Programs menus
- by pressing the <ALT-N> combination keys.
-
- An "EVALUATION" copy is a fully-functional version of PowerMaster Plus+ and
- allows the user to "TRY OUT" PowerMaster Plus+ for a limited time in order to
- evaluate its suitability for continued use. They will be allowed unrestricted
- use of PowerMaster during the first 30 times that the program is run. On, and
- after, the 31st access the user will be allowed access to the NOTICE screen
- only.
-
- The NOTICE screen allows the user access to the following functions:
-
- <F1> Print Manual: Prints this Manual to user's printer device.
-
- <F2> Print Registration: Prints the PowerMaster Order Form that must
- be submitted to Systematic Concepts in order to obtain a REGISTERED
- version of the PowerMaster Plus+ programs.
-
- <F3> Make Disk: Creates additional copies of PowerMaster that may be
- freely distributed to users friends/associates without charge. (NOTE:
- copies of PowerMaster Plus+ that are created via direct copying of
- the files from the \QTMASTER directory onto diskettes will not fit
- onto a 360K floppy diskette and will not contain the INSTALL program
- that is needed in order for the person receiving the disk to properly
- install PowerMaster Plus+ programs. The only SAFE and AUTHORIZED
- method of making copies of the PowerMaster Plus+ diskettes is through
- the "<F3> Make Disk" function on the NOTICE screen!)
-
-
- NOTE: The manual can also be displayed on-screen from the PC-Wizard Manager by
- issuing the command "TYPE MANUAL.DOC |MORE" while in the \QTMASTER directory.
-
-
- 1.4 PC-WIZARD SET-UP: The first time that PC-Wizard is accessed after init-
- ial installation you will immediately be taken to Gateway module for setting-up
- the systems administrator record. This record will automatically be assigned ID
- No 1 and given an Access Level of 1. The only information required to be enter-
- ed for the administrator is Last Name, Initials, Password and EXITCODE. The
- EXITCODE is used to control access to the DOS-level command line and contains a
- default code of "TURNOFFPWR". The Password is required to be entered TWICE
- before the system will accept it and should be written down prior to entering
- it into the system. If you indicate a "NO" response to the prompt asking if you
- want to change the EXITCODE the default value of "TURNOFFPWR" will be retained.
-
- Note: Both the admin PASSWORD and the EXITCODE can be changed at any time by
- simply accessing the Gateway and selecting the <F9-Pass> option.
-
- At this point the information for the admin record can either be SAVED by
- pressing "S" or can be EDITED by pressing "E". After the admin record has been
- saved the Systems Administrator Manager screen will appear.
-
- You are now free to experiment with any of the options that appear at the
- bottom of the screen, EXCEPT for <F3-Delete>. Once the admin record is estab-
- lished it can be altered using the <F4-Edit> and <F9-Pass> (Change PASSWORD)
- options, but can NOT be deleted! The workings of each of these functions is
- self-explanatory and easily performed by simply following the messages provided
- on-screen and therefore are not described in detail in this manual. Should
- assistance be needed, please feel free to call for Technical Support.
-
- To continue with systems set-up, you should press the <ESCAPE> key and log-on
- to PC-Wizard using ID No. "01" and your selected password. The administrator
- and designated sub-administrators can re-access the Gateway module at any time
- by pressing the <ALT-G> key combination while at either the Main Menu screen or
- at the Programs Menu screen. Upon exiting Gateway, the System's Log-On screen
- will appear.
-
- At the prompt enter your 2-digit ID No. ("01") and DO NOT (repeat DO NOT) press
- the <ENTER> key! (Note: The ID No MUST always be entered as 2-digits! e.g., 01,
- 05, 09, 24, 55, etc.)
-
- After your ID No. has been successfully entered, the Password screen will then
- appear for entering of your PASSWORD. Once again, DO NOT (repeat DO NOT) press
- the <ENTER> key after entering the last character of your password!
-
- After Password has been successfully entered the Main Menu screen will appear.
-
-
- 1.5 PCW MENUS SET-UP: PowerMaster allows you access to 10 separate levels of
- Program and Backup menus. Up to 9 selections can be entered on each screen
- which provides you with the capability of setting-up PC-Wizard to automatically
- perform up to 90 program executions and selective backups on 90 separate sub-
- directories. If desired, a separate level can be dedicated to unique groupings
- of activities. (e.g., Level I - Databases; Level II - Word Processing; Level
- III - Communications; Level IV - Utilities; Level V - Games; etc.)
-
- Prior to running and backing-up your programs from the PC-Wizard menus, you
- will need to provide the system with basic information describing the programs
- you desire to access and their location on your computer system.
-
- To perform this task, simply highlite the "SET-UP" option on the PC-Wizard Main
- Menu and press <ENTER>. At prompt, enter "1" for PROGRAMS or "2" for BACKUPS
- and again press <ENTER>. (The "SET-UP" option can also be accessed by simply
- pressing the letter <S> instead of highliting the selection.)
-
- The system will immediately access the Level I Set-up Screen for the indicated
- selection and will display the current configuration data. To screen through
- the menu selections press the <F1> key. (During the initial set-up, default
- values of "Reserved" will be displayed, which indicate that this menu select-
- ion is available for use.)
-
- To configure the current <F_> menu selection, simply press the <F2> function
- key. The cursor will then appear in the first input field and allow you to
- enter the PROGRAM NAME as you wish it to appear on the menu.
-
- After the PROGRAM NAME has been entered PC-Wizard will display the "Format
- Input? (Y/N): " prompt. If "Y" is entered then the PROGRAM NAME will automat-
- ically be formatted to display the first character of each element in upper-
- case and remaining characters in lower-case. This feature allows you to input
- the data quickly and easily without concern as to capitalization. However, if
- special capitalization is desired (i.e., ABC Accounting) then simply enter the
- data exactly as you want it displayed on the menu and respond with an "N" to
- the "Format Input? (Y/N): " prompt.
-
- Next enter the DRIVE where the program resides on the hard disk and press the
- <ENTER> key. PC-Wizard will automatically capitalize your input and add the
- required ":".
-
- Next enter the directory which contains the program files and press the <ENTER>
- key. The DIRECTORY NAME will automatically be converted to all upper-case char-
- acters preceded by the required \ character. To default to the ROOT directory,
- enter the directory name as a single \ character and press the <ENTER> key.
- (PowerMaster Plus+ allows up to 27 characters for the directory name which
- means that you can designate a longer directory path to include needed subdir-
- ectories, if desired.)
-
- Next enter the EXECUTABLE PROGRAM NAME which executes the program and press the
- <ENTER> key once again.
-
- After all data for the current menu selection has been entered a "Save Changes?
- (Y/N)" prompt will appear. Pressing "Y" will save these changes and pressing
- "N" will return them to their original settings.
-
- NOTE: To remove/delete a selection from the menu, simply enter the PROGRAM NAME
- as "Reserved" or enter the PROGRAM NAME as a single <D> and press the <ENTER>
- key. PC-Wizard will automatically display all fields with the proper "Reserved"
- entries and ask if it is O.K. to save. If a "Y" response is received, then the
- selection will be permanently deleted. However, if you decide that you really
- did not want to delete this selection it can automatically be restored by pro-
- viding an "N" response to the <SAVE> prompt.
-
- To change menu levels, simply press the <F10> function key and PC-Wizard will
- immediately access the Set-Up Screen for the next, succeeding level and place
- you at the <F1> selection for that level. PowerMaster Plus+ also allows you to
- <GOTO> any menu level simply by pressing <G> and entering the level that you
- desire to access. You can also go BACKWARDS through the menu selections by
- pressing the <-> key.
-
- Repeat the above steps for each selection that you desire to run from PC-Wizard
- and when all selections have been entered, press the <ESC> function to exit
- SET-UP and return to either the PC-Wizard Main Menu or the Backups Menu.
-
- 1.6 RUNNING PROGRAMS: To run any of the programs that you have configured
- through the Programs Set-Up Screen, simply access the Programs Menu from the
- PC-Wizard Main Menu by pressing <ENTER> while the PROGRAMS menu option is high-
- lighted or press the letter <P>.
-
- PC-Wizard will immediately display the Level I Programs Menu where any program
- can be executed simply by pressing the function key that corresponds to the
- desired program selection. To change the menu level, press the <F10> key.
-
- Menu selection slots which you have not yet configured will be displayed as
- "Reserved" and selecting these items will result in a BEEP indicating an
- invalid choice.
-
- When a valid selection has been made, PC-Wizard will immediately access the
- appropriate drive and directory that you specified during set-up and execute
- the program. (If the program fails to execute properly it indicates that
- incorrect data was provided during the initial set-up and you will need to
- reconfigure the function key for that selection.)
-
- PC-Wizard automatically records the time and date that you accessed a program
- selection from the Programs Menu and computes the amount of time that you spent
- within that particular application. This data is placed in an ACTIVITY.LOG file
- with a PATH identifier of {* Menu # *}.
-
- PC-Wizard maintains a separate ACTIVITY.LOG for each user. Each of these logs
- are identified on the Activity Log Screen with the user ID No. Each user's log
- can be accessed and displayed from the Programs Menu by pressing <ALT-L>.
-
- When you quit/exit the current program, PC-Wizard will automatically return you
- to the PC-Wizard Programs Menu and allow you to select any of the remaining
- programs for running.
-
- To access the Progams Set-up Module in order to add, change or delete a menu
- selection, simply press the <S> key. To quit the Programs module and Log-Off to
- the Main Menu press the <ESC> key. This will allow another user to access the
- system by logging-on. To indicate that you want to completely EXIT PC-Wizard
- and access the DOS-level command line (and by-pass the log-on screen), press
- the <ALT-X> key combination. This will take you directly to the EXIT screen for
- entering of your PC-Wizard EXITCODE!
-
- Special data validation routines have been incorporated into the Programs and
- Backups Set-up routines to prevent entering of incorrect data for menu select-
- ions. All information input by the user concerning drive, directory and program
- files to be executed are checked against the information on your hard disk to
- verify that drive and directory exist and that program file is executable!
-
- This version of PowerMaster Plus+ has been enhanced to allow you to access the
- Manager by pressing the letter <M> and the Backups module by pressing <B>.
-
-
-
- 1.7 BACKING-UP DIRECTORIES: To back-up any of the directories that you have
- configured through the Backups Set-Up Screen, simply access the Backups Menu
- from the PC-Wizard Main Menu by pressing the <ENTER> key while the BACKUPS menu
- option is highlighted.
-
- NOTE: Only the administrator and sub-administrators are allowed access to the
- Backups Menu!
-
- PC-Wizard will immediately display the Level I Backups Menu where any directory
- can be backed-up simply by pressing the function key that corresponds to the
- desired backup selection. To change the menu level, simply press the <F10> key.
-
- PC-Wizard maintains a separate ACTIVITY.LOG for each user. Each of these logs
- are identified on the Activity Log Screen with the user ID No. Each user's log
- can be accessed and displayed from the Backups Menu by pressing <ALT-L>.
-
- Menu selection slots which you have not yet configured will be displayed as
- "Reserved" and selecting these items will result in a BEEP indicating an
- invalid choice.
-
- When a valid selection has been made, PC-Wizard will immediately access the
- Backup Options Screen where you can indicate the type of backup that you want
- performed.
-
- The system will immediately access the appropriate drive and directory that you
- specified during set-up and perform the backup using the selected option. If
- the diskette that you have placed into Drive A: is unformatted it will automat-
- ically be formatted prior to commencement of backup routine.
-
- When the current backup is completed PC-Wizard will automatically return to the
- Backup Menu and allow you to select any of the remaining directories for backup
- operations.
-
- PC-Wizard automatically records the time and date that you performed a backup
- operation from the Backups Menu and computes the amount of time that it took to
- complete the backup process. This information is placed in the ACTIVITY.LOG
- file with a PATH identifier of {* B-U Menu *.}
-
-
- 1.8 PC-Wizard Manager: The PC-Wizard Manager can be accessed from the PCW
- Main Menu by highlighting the <Manager> selection bar and pressing <ENTER>. The
- Manager can also be accessed directly from within the Programs Menus simply by
- pressing the letter <M>.
-
- The menu on the left-hand side of the Manager screen lists all of the DOS
- commands that can be executed directly from the menu. The first option is the
- "WildCard". In the "WildCard" mode, ANY valid command can be issued without
- restrictions. This includes executing programs, batch files, utility programs,
- and DOS commands that are not included in your version of PC-Wizard PowerMaster
- etc. This provides unlimited access to all commands that can be executed by the
- computer without the need to first exit PC-Wizard and return to the DOS prompt.
-
- When a menu selection is highlighted on the Manager screen, corresponding
- instructional text for that option is displayed in the right-hand "window".
- Complete instructions for each command, including uses, syntax, option switches
- and comprehensive examples, can be viewed by simply pressing the <PgUp> and
- <PgDn> arrow keys on the keypad portion of the computer keyboard. You can
- browse through these instructions in order to gain a familiarity with the types
- of commands that are available and their general uses (beginner/novice level);
- or you can review the instructions in order to "refresh" your memory as to the
- proper command structure/syntax (advanced/master level). Either way, the
- "learning curve" obstacle has been overcome.
-
- To execute a command from the Manager, simply highlight the desired option and
- press the <Enter> key. The cursor on the Manager Command Line will change color
- and shape, indicating that the Manager is now waiting for you to complete the
- command by providing the required command parameters according to the displayed
- instructions. (It is recommended that you scroll through the instructions for
- the command until you have accessed the screen that displays the appropriate
- example before you press <Enter> to access the Command Line. This will ensure
- that the needed instructions remain on the screen while you are completing the
- command at the Command Line.)
-
- Note: A command can also be accessed by simply pressing the <ALT-Letter> corre-
- sponding to the command desired instead of using the <UP-ARROW> and <DN-ARROW>
- keys to scroll through the command menu. This is a much faster method of view-
- ing instructions for each command!
-
- After the appropriate command parameters have been entered, simply press the
- <Enter> key to execute the command. PC-Wizard will automatically provide a
- fresh screen for viewing the results of the executed command and will display
- the command at the bottom of the screen. When you are ready to return to the
- Manager simply press any key and the Manager menu will reappear and allow you
- to enter your next command.
-
- PC-Wizard allows you to automatically re-execute your most recently issued
- command by simply pressing the <F3> function key. This feature allows you to
- quickly and easily REPEAT a given command as often as desired without the need
- to retype it each time from the computer keyboard!
-
- The current ACTIVITY LOG can be viewed at any time by pressing the <F9> funct-
- ion key. When the file becomes larger than you desire, you can "archive" it by
- pressing the <F4> function key. During the "archive" process, all information
- in the current activity log is transferred to a file named ACTIVITY.ARC and a
- new ACTIVITY.LOG file is created.
-
- NOTE: The ACTIVITY.LOG(s) can also be accessed from either the Programs Menus
- or the Backups Menus simply by pressing the <ALT-L> key combination!
-
- Through the use of the PC-Wizard <DISPLAY> command you can perform "searches"
- for specific information contained in the ACTIVITY.ARC file and display this
- information on your monitor screen. (Examples: The command "DISPLAY 07-01-91"
- will cause only that activity that was performed on 1 July 1991 to be display-
- ed. The command "DISPLAY B-U" will display information on all backups that were
- performed from the PC-Wizard Backups Menu only. The command "DISPLAY MENU" will
- display information on all program executions and backup operations that were
- performed from the PC-Wizard menus.)
-
- To exit the Manager and return to PC-Wizard Master Menu or the Programs Menus,
- simply press the <ESC> key.
-
- NOTE: This version of PowerMaster only includes those DOS commands which are
- most frequently needed by the average user. However, ALL DOS commands that are
- included in your current version of DOS can be executed from the "WildCard"
- option. An enhanced version of PowerMaster for the advanced user which will
- include all DOS commands is currently under development and will be available
- in the near future.
-
-
- 1.9 PC-WIZARD CONTROL/SECURITY: PC-Wizard is designed so that a user can
- log-off of the system at any time simply by returning to the Main Menu. Each
- time that the Main Menu option is selected the current user is automatically
- logged-off and a new user is required to log-on by entering their 2-digit ID
- No. and Password before access to the Main Menu is allowed. This is also true
- whenever a user performs a "one-time" access of any Main Menu selection, other
- than the "Programs" option.
-
- Since all PC-Wizard functions can be accessed directly from the Programs Menus,
- these menus substitute for the Main Menu during a normal working session. When
- other functions/modules are accessed from any Programs Menu, PC-Wizard treats
- this activity as part of the current user's working session and automatically
- returns to this location when the selected function is exited and by-passes the
- log-off/log-on procedure.
-
- Normally, a user will log-off and return to the Main Menu for the purposes of
- allowing a new user access to the system or to prevent another person from
- using their access authority during temporary absences away from the computer.
- Under these circumstances the user would simply press the <ESC> key at the
- Programs Menu to log-off. The system is then secure until a valid ID No. and
- Password is entered to regain access.
-
- The user may also desire to completely exit the system and return to DOS level.
- This can be accomplished by pressing the <ALT-X> key combination which will
- by-pass the redundant log-off/log-on procedure and take them directly to the
- EXITCODE prompt at the Main Menu. When a valid EXITCODE has been entered they
- will immediately be taken to the system-level DOS prompt.
-
-
- 1.10 ACCESSING PC-WIZARD FROM DOS: To start-up PC-Wizard from the DOS prompt
- simply type the following command and press the <RETURN> key:
-
- C:\PCW
-
- It is recommended that PC-Wizard be set-up to automatically be executed upon
- system start-up by placing the appropriate commands in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
- Subsequent reaccesses of PC-Wizard from the DOS prompt can be accomplished by
- simply holding down the <ALT> key and then pressing the <F10> function key.
-
- Note: Please ensure that any existing commands for automatic execution of
- other programs are removed from your AUTOEXEC.BAT prior to adding the above
- command statements. Also ensure that you have loaded the ANSI.SYS device driver
- via the command in your CONFIG.SYS file. (example: DEVICE = C:\DOS\ANSI.SYS)
- If the ANSI.SYS driver is not loaded the ANSI commands for restarting PC-Wizard
- will be treated as ASCII text and the commands will not be interpreted properly
- by DOS and will not be executed when the Alt-F10 combination keys are pressed.
-
- Additionally, it is recommended that the command "SET ID=XXXXX" be added to the
- AUTOEXEC.BAT file. This environmental variable is used by PC-Wizard and if it
- is not set properly the system will not perform some functions efficiently!
- (Note: if you are using the NETWORK version PC-Wizard you should also include
- commands in the AUTOEXEC.BAT to "SET YZ=XX" and to include \QTMASTER directory
- in your PATH!)
-
-
- 1.11 TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE: To obtain technical assistance call Systematic
- Concepts at (714) 633-8438 between 10 A.M - 5 P.M (PST) Mondays thru Fridays.
-
- Please ensure that you have your PowerMaster registration number and your user
- I.D. handy, as Systematic Concepts' support staff must confirm your status as
- authorized users of PC-Wizard prior to providing technical assistance.
