You may also want to install an 80387SX, 16 MHz math

coprocessor in your computer to speed up mathematical
calculations in certain application programs. Check with your
authorized Epson dealer to see which options are available.

Operating Systems and Other Software

You probably have a version of MS-DOS: the operating system
by Microsoft? to use with your Equity 386SX PLUS. Epson has

enhanced MS-DOS by adding two time-saving utilities-HELP

and MENU-that make it easier to use. The HELP program lets
you display information on the screen about any MS-DOS

command. MENU provides an easy way to run many useful

MS-DOS commands.

Version 4.01 of MS-DOS also includes the Shell program,
which lets you run MS-DOS commands by selecting options
from on-screen menus. MS-DOS version 3.3 comes with the
XTREE® program. XTREE allows you to use on-screen menus

to perform a wide variety of file and directory operations.

You probably also purchased other software; you can use

virtually any application program designed for the IBM PC,

PC XT, PC AT, or compatible computers on your Equity 386SX
PLUS. You may also use powerful 32-bit software-such as

Microsoft Windows/386™-with your computer.
