X-DOS Version 5.0 Distributed by Advantage Plus Dist., Inc. (A+)
X-DOS is a single user, single tasking, enhanced Disk Operating System
(DOS) for Personal Computers. It is highly compatible with competitive
DOS packages yet offers many additional features and functions.
HOW TO MAKE AN X-DOS BOOT DISK:
Place a formated floppy disk in drive A:. From a directory that
contains the X-DOS files; X-DOS.SYS, COMMAND.COM and SYS.COM, which may
be the floppy itself or a subdirectory on another drive run, SYS A:
This will make the floppy disk in drive A: an X-DOS bootable disk.
SOFTWARE LICENSE:
X-DOS is distributed as SHAREWARE software as defined by United States
copyright law and this license.
X-DOS Disk Operating System for PC, Version 5.0
Copyright 1991,'93 H.B.S. Corp. All Rights Reserved
You may use, copy and distribute X-DOS for non-commercial use IF:
- No fee is charged for use or distribution, beyond a nominal copy or
distribution fee.
and
- The files are not modified in any way. Unmodified copies are
available on request from Advantage Plus Dist., Inc.
If you find X-DOS good enough to use regularly, you must become a
registered user. As a registered user, you will receive a diskette with
the current version of X-DOS that boots directly into CONFIG.SYS and
AUTOEXEC.BAT without the pause in the Shareware Evaluation Copy.

Note: Many of these enhanced utilities are compatible with other DOS.
However, some of these utilities are highly specific to X-DOS and should
be run from X-DOS only, these include: Install, Keyb, Sys, Xcopy,
Xshell, Vdisk and Viruschk.
Chkdsk can perform a disk surface analysis in addition to common chkdsk
functions. Debug is a full screen programming environment. Ed is a
full screen text editor whose parameters such as margins, auto-indent
and word wrap may be set by command line prompts. Diskcomp, Diskcopy,
Format, Xback, Xhelp, and Xcopy are full screen enhanced utilities that
are generally compatible with other DOS.
Some Fdisk functions such as to password protect a harddrive partition
are highly integrated with the X-DOS system and cannot be expected to
work with other DOS. Other Fdisk functions such as low level formatting
a hard drive, creating partitions up to 512 meg and making partitions
read only are generally compatible with other DOS. Before using any DOS
utility such as Format or Fdisk, that can overwrite existing data, backup
copies of important data should be made and safely stored.
