Always make backups of any file or program you modify.  If something is not
quite right, there is the remote possibility you could render your computer
useless.  NO ONE assumes responsibility for ANY damage or problems caused by
applying the information in this document.  All changes you make are at your
own risk!!  Not everything could be tested or verified, so there may be some
false or incorrect statements made within this document.  Also keep in mind
that we are only human -- and humans can make mistakes!  If you always have
a backup copy of what you work with, the damage is almost always repairable.

======     specifically related to operations in DOS or in some cases, a
           DOS-Shell from Windows.

Windows   These tips and tricks are for Windows 3.1 and higher.  Wherever
=======    necessary, specifically required versions are noted (for example,
           Windows for Workgroups 3.1, etc.)

OS/2      These tips and tricks are for OS/2 2.1 and higher.  Wherever
====       necessary, specifically required versions are noted.

Batch     Here are some simple (and some not-so-simple) MS-DOS Batch Language
=====      Utilities for making your file maintenance / system usage easier.

As I do not currently use OS/2, UNIX, or any other operating systems, I
cannot provide any of my own tips for these systems.  Any information will
have to come from contributions and whatever I read or come across.
