DOS Help Magazine

Have you noticed that since DOS World has 'intergraded' with Practical Windows that the DOS World is more like DOS Moon? Where did the DOS part go?

DOS Help Magazine is here. It is very similar to what DOS World use to be. With different feature articles and columns each issue.

DHMag is in HTML format. You can view it with your favorite viewer. I have viewed it in IE4.x and Netscape 3.x. If the text is not formatted right in the viewer you use, please let me know and I will fix it.

DHMag no long uses long file names, so you can now use PKUNZIP to extract it correctly. (thanks Bernie)

I plan to release each issue about every month and with more subscribers/contributors it will grow to be a full, programmers source, magazine. So if you want to write an article for one of the columns in the e-mag or want to start a new column, please send it in today.

Download the current issue below and use Pkunzip to extract it to a new folder.
Then with your favorite html viewer, start with cover.htm.

There has been no change to the actual contents of the e-mags. The only thing that changed is the filenames.

PKunzip unzips the filenames as uppercase. If your browser is case sensitive, use the included TOLOW.COM utility to change all filenames to lowercase. (just type tolow at the DOS prompt).

PKWare has come out with a new version of PKZIP/PKUNZIP for DOS. Now version 2.50 will keep the lowercase filenames. You can get the new version at: http://www.pkware.com/shareware/pkz250dos.html

Sorry for the tardiness of issue 7. I have not quit the magazine. I have just been quite busy with other things.

If your browser is case sensitive, use the included tolow.com util.
