The system is configured with a number of utility programs. These
programs provide added function that enhance the usability of the system.

The utility programs are:
SIMUL Allows you to enable/disable simultaneous display on both the
LCD and external monitor.

Simultaneous mode. You must exit Simultaneous mode
before Suspend/Resume is allowed. Also, the Func + F7
function is not recognized until you exit Simultaneous
mode.
EPP2 Provides Enhanced Parallel Port Utility. This utility needs to
be added to the AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS if the option
attached to the parallel port supports the enhanced parallel
port mode.
