4DOS 4.0 JP SOFTWARE Registration $ docs
SYST OCT91 DOS SHELL APPLICATION COMMAND POWERFUL
FILES 4dos4d.sdn, 4dos4p.sdn
We started developing 4DOS when we realized that
our computers could be a lot more powerful and a lot more
helpful than they were. Whether you are a computer novice or
an experienced power user, we think that 4DOS will help you
get the most out of your IBM PC or compatible computer.
Technically, 4DOS is a command interpreter or "DOS
Shell." That means that it reacts to the commands you type at
the C> prompt. We've designed 4DOS so that you don't have to
change your computing habits or unlearn anything to use it.
If you know how to display a directory, copy a file, or start
an application program, you already know how to use 4DOS.
4DOS understands all of the commands you know and adds to
them. Its purpose is to make DOS friendlier, easier to use,
and much more powerful and versatile, without requiring you
to use or learn a new program, a new set of commands, or a
new style of work.
Once you have 4DOS installed, you can learn its new
features at your own pace. It has more than 40 new commands
and scores of enhanced features, but you don't have to learn
them all at once. Relax, enjoy 4DOS's power, and browse
through the manual occasionally. Press the F1 key whenever
you need help. 4DOS will soon become an essential part of
your computer, and you'll wonder how you ever got along
without it.
If you want to take 4DOS for a spin without performing a
complete installation, see the Guided Tour beginning on
page18.
We are constantly working to improve 4DOS. If you
have suggestions for features or commands that you think we
should include in the next version, or any other way we could
improve our product, please let us know. Many of the
improvements in this version of 4DOS were suggested by our
users, and while we can't promise to include every suggested
feature, we really do appreciate and pay attention to your
comments.
If you're an OS/2 user, JP Software offers another
product, 4OS2, as a complete replacement for the OS/2 command
processor (CMD.EXE). 4OS2 provides the same command set and
syntax as 4DOS, with several OS/2 commands added. You can use
it to maintain a common working environment and run the same
batch files under OS/2 and DOS. 4OS2 is available at a
discounted price for 4DOS users. Contact JP Software for more
information.
