echo Here are brief details of what they do - see PCPLUS for more:
echo.
echo EC - takes an Elite Commander file and gives you 1.6 million credits.
echo If you can't reach Elite with that lot, perhaps you should be
echo playing a different game! Note that an Elite Commander file only
echo works if its Archive attribute is set OFF. EC does this for you
echo automatically, but if you subsequently copy the file to another
echo disk or sub-directory, the attribute will be set ON. You would
echo then have to set it off again with the MS-DOS ATTRIB -A FILENAME
echo command, where FILENAME is the name of the Commander file.
echo.
echo GEMDOS - provides a user-friendly shell from GEM to DOS, including the
echo use of parameters for a DOS command. Two versions are provided,
echo one for use from the GEMAPPS folder of a floppy in the A: drive,
echo the other for use from the GEMAPPS folder of hard drive C:.
echo Details in GEMDOS.DOC.
echo.
echo ZAPPO - a pop-up sound effects program, which you can remove by resetting
echo your PC. There are three versions of the program, one for basic
echo XTs (XTZAPPO), one for turbo XTs like the Amstrad PCs (TXZAPPO)
echo and one for fast ATs and 386s (ATZAPPO). The only differences are
echo the pitch and duration of the sounds they produce.
echo.
echo TXZAPPO will be installed, with instructions, when you
