The Equity I+ comes with the
operating system and the
programming language. If you have used MS-DOS before on
another computer, you will find that it works the same on the Equity I+. Be
sure to refer to your Equity MS-DOS manual, however, for descriptions of
the special utility programs added by Epson.
You may have purchased other software as well; you can use most soft-
ware products designed for the IBM PC on your Equity I+. Refer to your
software program documentation for information on using the software.
Additionally, the Equity I+ supports multiple users and multiple tasking
with the appropriate operating system. Consult your Epson dealer for more
information.
