Aptiva - Manuals for PC-DOS 7.0
Applicable to: United States
PC-DOS 7.0 and MS-DOS 6.2x are very much alike, with the exception of a few commands and utilities. In general, you can often use the MS-DOS books for help with PC-DOS commands or features if you are unable to find specific books for PC-DOS. When you do find a situation where the MS-DOS book does not describe a PC-DOS function, you can often use the HELP command or refer to the PC-DOS books that came with the system to help you use a particular function.
The manual that is included with the Aptiva systems is a condensed version of IBM PC-DOS 7.0 and Microsoft Windows user guides. This manual was intended to be used in conjunction with the online "HELP" facility.
The Help facility in PC-DOS 7.0 is a relatively complete duplication of the paper copy of the DOS manuals. It provides a much easier way to locate information in many cases, often resulting in much less need for a printed manual.
If you feel that you need a more complete guide to PC-DOS, you may be able to ask your local retail bookseller if they have any books on PC-DOS. There are also some excellent publications that can be ordered from IBM Publications (call 1-800-426-7282):
"IBM PC-DOS 7.0 Command Reference and Error Messages", order number S83G-9309. This provides a complete explanation of all commands and their options, as well as a complete list of error messages.
"IBM PC-DOS 7.0 User's Guide", order number S83G-9260. This manual covers the installation, use, and special functions provided in PC-DOS 7.0.
New editions or revisions to these manuals may be produced from time to time, and in some cases the order numbers may be changed. IBM Publications will be able to help you get the latest copies of these manuals if that happens.
