HyperDOS is a comprehensive reference work on DOS, both MS-DOS and PC-DOS.  
It's a very large and extensive program.  In order to have all the 
information presented by HyperDOS available in printed form, you would have 
to buy three to five reference books!

HyperDOS is not aimed at the novice who doesn't even know what a keyboard is, 
although even that is explained.  It's aimed at the person (new or 
experienced) who wants to know more about how to control their computer.  The 
methods explained in HyperDOS will increase your productivity, lower the 
number of commands you have to key in, and, hopefully, dispell the mystery and 
anxiety lying behind that little, blinking DOS command line prompt.

The files on the full edition HyperDOS disk are:

**PUBLIC DOMAIN ** This program has been included in the package in the hope
that it will be useful.  Also, we hope that you get more deeply involved in
using batch files as labor saving devices.

Public domain prgrams are included at no cost whatsoever.  We take no
responsibility for their use.

Also, you'll have the ability to place a bookmark in HyperDOS when leaving so 
you can pick up right where you left off.


On this disk, the shareware version of HyperDOS, you'll find:

===============================================================================
FILE          DESCRIPTION
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

README.TXT    This file.
SHDOS.HYP     The somewhat abbreviated HyperDOS program.
SHDOS.HIX     The SHDOS.HYP index file.
SHDOS.BAT     A batch file to control SHDOS.HYP.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To run the shareware edition of HyperDOS, type "SHDOS" at the DOS prompt.  
The program will run a bit slowly from a floppy disk.  It will run much faster 
if it can be run from a hard drive.  Of course, it will run the fastest if it 
can be put in a RAMdisk...it really flies!  

In the future after you've run HyperDOS a few times, you may want to check a 
particular DOS command.  To do that faster, enter:

                 SHDOS [command]      Example:    HYPERDOS COPY

To effectivley have HyperDOS available to use at any time, no matter what 
directory or subdirectory you're in, do the following:

Create a subdirectory, i.e., C:\HYPERDOS, on your hard disk.  Then copy all 
the HyperDOS files to that directory.

Using an ASCII text editor add the line:

                SET HSPATH = [the directory name you put it into]

to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.  Then, add that direcory name to your PATH 
statment, i.e., [PATH = hyperdos].  Reboot your computer.  This way HyperDOS 
can find all its files and run from anywhere.  

We hope you will find this edition of HyperDOS so educational and useful that 
you'll want to order the full edition at only $39.95.  Now, go and have fun!
