Operating Systems and Other Software

You may have a version of MS-DOS® to use with your

computer. 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 about any

MS-DOS command on the screen. MENU provides an easy way

to run many of the MS-DOS commands.

Note

MS-DOS is not the only operating system you can use with
your computer. You can run practically any operating system

compatible with MS-DOS, OS/2, Unix® or XENIX®. See the

documentation that came with your operating system to

install and run it on your computer.

You can use virtually any application program designed for the

IBM PC, PC XT, PC AT, or compatible computers on your
Equity 386SX/20 PLUS. You may also use powerful software,

such as Microsoft® Windows/386.

VGA Utilities

Epson has provided special VGA utilities and device drivers
that you can use with certain standard VGA and multi-

frequency monitors. With these drivers, you can use super

VGA features such as 16-color graphics mode resolutions up to

800

x

600, 256-color resolutions up to 640

x

480, and

132-column text mode. See your VGA Utilities booklet for

complete information.

Epson also provides special device drivers that let you take

advantage of the Edsun CEG technology. These drivers instruct
specific applications to recognize the extra colors and higher

resolutions made available by CEG. See your CEG Utilities

booklet for instructions.
