WELCOME TO DOS PRACTICE
DOS PRACTICE helps you learn DOS the easy way: with hands-on
practice. It presents programmed exercises in a controlled environment;
you don't have to worry about damaging files or causing havoc with your
PC. Interactive sessions can be tailored for general practice or to
cover specific topics, and the level of difficulty is selectable, from
novice to expert. HELP screens explain DOS PRACTICE operation and the
use of all DOS commands. A record of progress is kept for each user.
DOS PRACTICE provides a painless way to sharpen your PC skills,
and complements tutorials, written courses, books, and classes.
* Program Requirements:
IBM Personal Computer or Compatible
Hard Disk
256KB Ram
MS-DOS or PC-DOS Version 2.0 or later
* Installation Procedure:
To install DOS PRACTICE on your hard disk, insert the DOS PRACTICE
diskette into drive A. Move to drive A (type A:<Enter>) and type:
install<Enter>
Drive B may be substituted for drive A. This procedure creates
directory PRACTICE on drive C, and loads all of the DOS PRACTICE
files into that directory. If you wish to install it on a different
drive or directory, make sure the desired destination directory
exists, then move to drive A and type:
COPY UNZIPDP.EXE <destination><Enter>
Then move to the destination directory and type
UNZIPDP<Enter>
For example, if the diskette is in drive A: and the destination
directory is to be D:\DP, you would type:
A:<Enter>
COPY UNZIPDP.EXE D:\DP<Enter>
D:<Enter>
CD\DP<Enter>
UNZIPDP<Enter>
* Using DOS PRACTICE:
To use DOS PRACTICE once it has been installed on your hard disk,
begin by moving to the disk and directory containing the DOS PRACTICE
files. Then type:
DP<Enter>
DOS PRACTICE should then begin execution. Interaction with the program
is mostly self-explanatory, but context-dependent help may be called
up at any time by pressing the F10 function key.
The OVERVIEW selection of the first level menu explains the organi-
zation and use of DOS PRACTICE. It also reveals some handy features,
such as how to eliminate any uninteresting exercises from your
practice sessions.
* Display Problems:
On some monochrome monitors the DOS PRACTICE text
screens are not displayed clearly using the standard
display control file. If you encounter this problem,
execute the following command:
COPY B&W.OVL KEYDB.OVL
That should correct the problem. If, at a later date,
you wish to switch back to full support for a color
monitor, enter the command:
COPY COLOR.OVL KEYBD.OVL
