PC MAGAZINE UTILITIES DISK LIBRARY Volume I

INTRODUCTION ------------ Congratulations! As a new or renewing PC Magazine subscriber, we've sent you the all new, state-of-the-art PC Magazine Utilities, complete with their own handy, self-documenting, user-friendly shell program. Now, instead of having to rely on the somewhat cryptic filenames, or pages of a printed manual, simply call up Michael J. Mefford's incredible shell by typing PCMAGx (where x=the Utilities volume number)! The program names and their descriptions and documentation are all right there on the screen. Once you've chosen a utility and read about how it works, press enter, type in any appropriate parameters, and hit enter again. The utility will execute, and any key will return you to the PCMAG shell. We think this innovative presentation will allow you to get even more use out of "the utilities that DOS forgot." Print out this file and read it once to know all you need to know. Most of you will find PCMAG.COM a great program just the way it is. The more enterprising among you will want to create your own custom versions of the shell using PCMAGNDX.COM (see below). And press F2 at any time while within the shell to see how you can log onto PC MagNet, PC Magazine's interactive reader service.
