CHAPTER 6 AWARD ZERO-VOLT
DATA-SUSPEND
UTILITY
6.1 INTRODUCTION
The zero-volt data-suspend utility, ZVHDD.EXE , stores all the information about your
current operating session on your hard drive when you turn off your system, using just one
Windows function to replace the sometimes tedious process of closing data files,
applications, and the Windows environment. Next time you turn your system on, the
complete session resumes, just as it was.
The saves session data includes all the programs and data files loaded into system
memory during the session. For example, you may be running multiple applications, such
as Microsoft Excel, WordPerfect, and CorelDraw, under Windows 95. Normally, to turn
off your computer, you must close all open data files and applications and then exit
Windows. When you want to resume work where you left off, you must boot the
computer, wait for Windows to open, open your application(s), and load the data file(s)
you were editing.
Think how quick and convenient it would be if you could issue just one command to end
your current session. And how quick and convenient it would also be if your session
resumed exactly where you left off next time you turned on the computer! The Award
Zero-Volt Data-Suspend utility offers this convenience.
