Chapter 7
System-dependent Utilities
This chapter describes the utilities that are included on your diagnostics
diskette. These utilities are used exclusively by your Equity I+ system:
HELP
ROMBIOS
SYSTAT
Each utility is an MS-DOS command. You can copy the commands to your
hard disk or to a directory on another floppy disk. Then you can
execute the commands from the MS-DOS prompt without loading the
diagnostics diskette.
To run the utilities from your diagnostics diskette, select option 0 from
the OPERATION MENU before you run a diagnostics program. You see
this selection on the menu:
0 - Exit to DOS for more utilities
(After you run a diagnostics program, this selection changes to
0-Exit and
reset.
Selecting option 0 at this point resets your computer.)
The HELP Utility
Use the HELP command to ask for information on all the MS-DOS
commands and utility programs. This help function provides useful informa-
tion but is not intended to be a substitute for the MS-DOS manual.
The format of this command is:
HELP [command. . . ]
Type HELP only to see a menu of all commands. Type
HELP
followed by
the name of one or more MS-DOS commands, each separated by a space, to
bypass the menu and display the messages for each command.
