WinShell
Version 2.1ß
A Windows DOS Shell Utility
INTRODUCTION
------------
WinShell is a DOS SHELL program for WINDOWS 3.x. It looks just like the DOS
Prompt (in color) and reminds you that you in a WINDOWS Shell. It will NOT
let you use CHKDSK, since CHKDSK can crash you system in a MULTI-TASKING
environment. WinShell has a BUILT-IN screen blanker (will not pop-up auto-
matically) to save your screen when you know you will be away and are at the
"DOS" prompt. It was written in Turbo Pascal 6.0, which I am new at
programming in.
INSTALLATION
------------
UnZIP WinShell.ZIP into your WINDOWS Directory
Open Windows (In 386E or not) and click the MAIN program group, and the DOS
icon. NEXT click FILE menu and go down to PROPERITES. Then under the PROGRAM
choice (where it says COMMAND.COM) replace it with:
C:\WINDOWS\WINSHELL.PIF
then click OK or if you wish to replace the ICON with the one included, click
CHANGE ICON. Type in the space provided:
C:\WINDOWS\WINSHELL.ICO
and press return or click OK then click OK again.
SPECIAL COMMANDS
----------------
BLANK .......... Built in screen blanker. Completely blanks the screen and
prevents screen burn-in. Will NOT pop-up automatically!!
CHKDSK ......... You can not use DOS CHKDSK. When run under some MULTI-
TASKING environments, CHKDSK may CRASH (lock-up) your system
when run. The most widly known Multi-Tasker that CHKDSK
crashes under is WINDOWS.
SAVE ........... like BLANK, but does not keep the screen blank. Moves a
message around the screen
