OS/ASSIST for DOS is a collection of DOS command line utilities designed to

Installation
------------

  To install OS/ASSIST, follow the steps below.

  --------------------------------------------
  If installing from an installation diskette:
  --------------------------------------------

  1. Insert the OS/ASSIST installation disk into the appropriate drive.

  2. From the DOS command line prompt,  type in A:INSTALL.  If using the  B
     drive, substitute A: with B:.

  3. Follow  the  directions  for  installing  the  software.  The  install
     program  will  copy  all  needed  files  to  your  system and make the
     required modifications to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.

  ------------------------------------
  If performing a manual installation:
  ------------------------------------

  1. Create a directory to hold the OS/ASSIST utilities.   

     From the DOS command line prompt, type in MD C:\OSASSIST.

  2. Change the current directory to that of the OS/ASSIST directory.  

     From the DOS prompt, type in CD C:\OSASSIST.

  3. Copy all of the OS/ASSIST files to the OS/ASSIST directory from all of
     the installation diskettes.

     the OS/ASSIST directory.  For example, if your current PATH  statement
     is:

                 PATH=C:\;C:\DOS

     you would modify it to look as follows:

                 PATH=C:\;C:\DOS;C:\OSASSIST
