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.
