   DOS command summary and tutorial {ASP}

+--------------------+
| Medium Description |
+--------------------+

   DOS Summary is a hypertext tutorial and reference product which covers
   all DOS commands and drivers through MS-DOS version 5.0. Also added
   are tutorials covering memory management and how DOS starts. The
   program can be used in standalone or resident mode. {ASP}

+------------------+
| 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}

   2.0   Feb 92  Complete rewrite using hypertext technology and covering
                 all DOS commands and drivers in greater depth than

   Note: Distribution of both versions is authorized so long as it is clear
         to users that while version 1.0 is "free" (requires registration
         in the form of a letter), version 2.0 is not free.
