echo Here are brief details of what they do - see PCPLUS for more:
echo.
echo FLASH - is a device driver which sets up a RAM disk on your PC using
echo video memory normally reserved for graphics. If you main use
echo is for text, though, you can gain up to 70K on PC 1512 and up
echo to 112K on an EGA or VGA machine. See PC PLUS for installation
echo details.
echo.
echo ERLVLTEST - is useful for all batch file authors. It lets you store an
echo Errorlevel in an environment variable, so you can use it at
echo a later stage in your program. See the ERLVLTEST.DOC file for
echo further details.
echo.
echo LOSE64K - This little assembler program removes 64K from the memory map
echo of a PC. Run it twice and it's ideal for testing if a program
echo run on a 640K machine will also run in 512K.
echo.
echo COLDBOOT - This equally tiny routine performs a cold reset. This is useful
echo if you need to reset a PC from within a batch file, for instance.
