3-4 Helpful Hints
The following may save you some time or help you as you use your
computer.
Make copies of your diskettes regularly.
To make sure that a command works, you should:
— Check your typing (make sure you don’t confuse \ with /).
— Have the correct diskette in the drive.
— Check the contents of the diskette with the
DIR com-
mand.
— Specify the correct diskette drive.
— Remember to include the colon (:) when specifying the
name of a drive.
— Spell the filename correctly.
— Use the appropriate extension. (such as *.DOC or *.EXE)
Refer to the DOS Reference manual for additional informa-
tion if a command still doesn't work.
Print the contents of a disk (if you have a printer) and keep
the list with the diskette.
All commands (except DISKCOPY and DISKCOMP) are files
that will work on both diskettes and hard disk drives.
The date and time shown with each directory entry are the
date and time of the last addition or change to that file. The
date and time are not changed during a COPY or a DIS-
KCOPY.
