DOSNIX utilities are intended to be run from the command line but DMI can be a fun way to get aquainted with the various features. To use the manual lookup feature, DOSNIX.DOC needs to be in the same directory as DMI. The easiest way to make sure everything works together is to copy DMI and DOSNIX into a common directory, such as C:\DOSNIX, and add that directory to your PATH statement. Gerald M.
