Description
Increases Application Space
IBM DOS Version 5.00 is the tenth release of IBM's Disk Operating System (DOS). It has more function and is easier to use but is smaller and faster than its predecessors. In response to customer demand for more application space, IBM DOS Version 5.00 reverses the DOS memory growth trend. Through utilization of the High Memory Area (HMA) and Upper Memory Blocks (UMBs), IBM DOS Version 5.00 can provide significantly more application space in the 640KB conventional memory area than previous versions of DOS. It effectively reduces DOS size to below that of DOS Version 3.30 in conventional memory. HMA is available on systems with 80286 or greater processor and 1MB of memory. UMB is available on systems with 80386 or greater processor.
Improves Performance
The Expanded Memory Support (EMS) provided in IBM DOS Version 4.00 for 80386 systems or higher (XMAEM.SYS) has been replaced with the EMM386 Expanded Memory Manager in IBM DOS Version 5.00. EMM386 significantly increases the EMS performance for IBM DOS Version 5.00 customers. In addition, support that allows parts of DOS, device drivers and other programs to be relocated into Upper Memory Blocks of the reserve area (640K-1MB) is provided by EMM386. This ability also makes more conventional memory available to other applications for performance improvements. Conflicts with EMS support and extenders has been removed through incorporation of VCPI (Virtual Control Program Interface) in EMM386. Improved hard disk performance can be achieved through the use of the IBM DOS Version 5.00 disk caching program SMARTDRV. Systems with more than 1MB of memory should utilize a disk caching program to achieve optimum hard disk performance.
Note: Please note the following
- XMA2EMS is not shipped with IBM DOS Version 5.00. The EMS options for 80286 systems ship their own EMS drivers or XMA2EMS which work compatibly with IBM DOS Version 5.00.
- XMA2EMS will be made available at no-charge through IBM Representatives and all distribution channels.
- SMARTDRV is an alternative to the IBMCACHE program shipped with some IBM PS/2 (R) systems. Only one cache program should be used in a system. The end-user should replace IBMCACHE with SMARTDRV. IBMCACHE does not use extended memory according to XMS (the eXtended Memory Specification) and therefore may conflict with IBM DOS Version 5.00 or with Microsoft(1) Windows(2).
Improves Ease of Use
The IBM DOS Version 5.00 Shell has an improved interface which operates similar to Microsoft Windows and the IBM OS/2 (TM) Presentation Manager. The IBM DOS Version 5.00 user can manage programs, view the directory structure of any disk, view the contents of several directories, and navigate through files and directories quickly. A limited (SUSPEND/RESUME) application task switcher called Task Swapper is provided in the shell which supports multiple applications. It allows the user to switch from one application to another without closing applications.
Note: The Task Swapper in IBM DOS Version 5.00 will not suspend and swap out Terminate and Stay Resident (TSRs) programs. Some ASYNC communications programs, local area network (LAN) Support programs, and mainframe terminal-emulation programs or programs of this type do not run correctly with Task Swapper. Using them with Task Swapper may cause a system to be disconnected from the mainframe session and cause data to be lost. Installation of IBM DOS Version 5.00 is easier and faster. A new SETUP program is provided with online HELP, which guides the user through each step of the setup process and provides help whenever it is needed.
Provides New and Improved DOS Commands, Programs and Utilities
New and improved DOS commands/programs provide more usability, flexibility and reliability for IBM DOS Version 5.00 customers.
- New online Help for the IBM DOS commands is provided through the "/?" parameter of each command.
- The HELP command also provides on-line help for any DOS command.
- The ATTRIB command now allows changing of the system and hidden file attributes as well as the read-only and archive attributes.
- The COMP command now contains switches for different display modes and can compare a given number of lines of two files, even if the files are different sizes.
- Improvements to the DIR command include options to search all subdirectories for files, sorting output, searching by attributes, listing file names only, "bytes free" information and more readable "wide" output.
- The DISKCOPY command now contains an optional switch which causes a write verify to be performed.
- The new DOSKEY terminate and stay resident program provides command line recall and edit capabilities. DOSKEY can also be used to create macros that contain one or more IBM DOS commands.
- EDIT is a new easy to use full screen IBM DOS Editor that allows the
end user to create, edit, save, and print ASCII text files.
Note: EDLIN continues to be shipped with IBM DOS Version 5.00.
- The new EXPAND command expands a compressed IBM DOS Version 5.00 file.
- The new FC command compares two files and displays the differences.
- The FIND command now allows non case-sensitive searches to be made.
- The FORMAT command automatically (unless the /U switch is specified)
saves information needed for the UNFORMAT command (safe formatting).
A new quick formatting option, /Q, can speed up the format process.
On newer systems that provide diskette drives with media sense support
(see hardware support under Operating Environment) FORMAT determines
the media capacity of new unformatted diskettes and automatically
formats the media to that capacity (unless the end-user otherwise
specifies).
Note: Diskettes should not be formatted to sizes other than the size specified for that diskette use. Possible data loss may occur.
- The GRAPHICS command now allows more printer types and provides support for VGA graphics display modes.
- The new LOADHIGH command loads a program into the upper memory area. DEVICEHIGH= in CONFIG.SYS loads device drivers into the upper memory area. Loading a program or device driver into the upper memory area leaves more room in conventional memory for other programs.
- The MEM command now displays memory allocated to device drivers and programs loaded into Upper Memory Blocks.
- The new MIRROR command loads a terminate-and-stay resident deletion tracking program that saves information for one or more disks. The UNFORMAT and UNDELETE commands can use this information to restore a reformatted disk or to recover deleted files.
- QBasic is a new, improved basic interpreter for IBM DOS Version 5.00. It reads
instructions written in the Basic computer language and interprets
them into executable computer code. It includes extensive online
Help.
Note: BASICA programs will not run with QBasic. In order to run a BASICA program with QBasic, you must save the BASICA program in ASCII mode. Some BASICA commands may also require changes. A new version of BASICA is shipped with IBM DOS Version 5.00. This new version of BASICA is compatible with previous versions of BASICA shipped with previous versions of IBM DOS and will be made available at no-charge through IBM Representatives and all distribution channels.
- RAMDRIVE replaces the VDISK program shipped with prior versions of IBM DOS and provides like function. It creates a RAM disk in the system's random-access memory (RAM) to simulate a hard disk drive. RAM disks are much faster than hard disks but are temporary.
- The RESTORE command can now display a list of files on the backup disk.
- The new SETVER command lets users use IBM DOS Version 5.00 to run some old programs that do version checks.
- The new UNDELETE command recovers files previously deleted with the DEL command.
- The new UNFORMAT command gives the capability for IBM DOS Version 5.00 users to recover accidentally formatted media. UNFORMAT restores only local hard disk and diskette drives. It cannot be used on network drives.
Supports Old Systems and Options
IBM DOS Version 5.00 supports all models (except PCjr, AT/370 and XT/370) of the IBM Personal Computer and Personal System/2(R) families. It is compatible with the Personal System/1(R), however, use of IBM DOS Version 5.00 on the PS/1(R) eliminates use of the PS/1 shell.
Supports New Systems and Options
In addition to systems/options supported by previous IBM DOS releases, IBM DOS Version 5.00 provides support for:
- 2.88 diskette drives
- Read/Write optical drives
- Diskette Media Sense
Maintains Interfaces (Compatibility)
IBM DOS Version 5.00 continues to provide an open system architecture that can be extended via system extensions, device drivers and future enhancements. It also continues to allow applications to use DOS extensions. Application interfaces have been maintained and tested. See Technical Information, Specified Operating Environment, for a list of applications tested with IBM DOS Version 5.00.
IBM DOS Version 5.00 (English language version) is fully compatible with AccessDOS. AccessDOS is a public domain software program that provides better keyboard, mouse, and sound access for persons with physical disabilities. Some of the features included in AccessDOS are:
- StickyKeys - allows the user to press each key separately when performing a multiple key operation. With StickyKeys the user can press the shift key, then press the 8 key to make an asterisk (*). Without StickyKeys the user would have to hold the shift key down while pressing the 8 key to make an asterisk. StickyKeys works with the Shift, Ctrl, and Alt keys.
- MouseKeys - allows the cursor keys to behave like a mouse. Using the cursor keys the user can move the cursor around on the screen as if they were using a mouse.
- ToggleKeys - uses a 'beep' to indicate when the Caps Lock, Num Lock, or Scroll Lock keys are activated or de-activated.
- ShowSounds - displays a small musical note in the upper left-hand corner of the display when the computer 'beeps'.
- Repeat Keys - allows the user to set how fast keys repeat when held down. User's may also set this to OFF, thereby eliminating the repeat function.
- SlowKeys - allows the user to set the sensitivity of the keyboard. Slowkeys instructs the computer not to accept a key as 'pressed' until it has been held down for a specific length of time.
- BounceKeys - allows the user to set the sensitivity of the keyboard. This prevents multiple occurrences of the same key unless a specific amount of time has passed between the first time a key was pressed and when it is pressed again.
LAN Compatibility.
Installation of IBM DOS Version 5.00 in a LAN network may require updates for the LAN programs on workstations using IBM DOS Version 5.00.- Users of DOS LAN Requester (DLR) which is included in
OS/2 LAN Server Version 1.3
- OS/2 LAN Server Version 1.30.1 works compatibly with IBM DOS Version 5.00
- OS/2 LAN Server Version 1.3 requires CSD # WR05015 to be applied before installing with IBM DOS Version 5.00
- Users of IBM PC LAN Program
- IBM PC LAN Program 1.34 works compatibly with IBM DOS Version 5.00
- IBM PC LAN Program 1.33 requires CSD # IP00755 to be applied before installing with IBM DOS Version 5.00
- Users of other network products should contact their vendor for updates.
Provides Easy Upgrade
The IBM DOS Version 5.00 Upgrade provides the full IBM DOS Version 5.00 product with installation specific programs that allow and aid previous IBM DOS users to upgrade to IBM DOS Version 5.00 at a significantly lower price.
As a convenience to customers who buy the IBM DOS Version 5.00 Upgrade,
IBM is making available updates for some existing LAN network files.
These files are interim fixes for compatibility with IBM DOS Version 5.00 only.
They do NOT contain fixes for problems other than IBM DOS Version 5.00
compatibility. Customers should contact their LAN vendor for complete
updates to the network files.
Compatibility updates for
Version 1.33, DOS LAN Requester (DLR) included in IBM OS/2 LAN
Server Version 1.3, and NOVELL Netware is provided.
The updates are contained on supplementary diskettes
that will be made available to IBM Representatives and
all distribution channels.
Utilizes More of System Memory
IBM DOS Version 5.00 provides more application space than IBM DOS Version 4.00 or IBM DOS Version 3.30 on 80286 or greater systems with 1MB or larger memory. This allows more and/or larger applications in the 640KB conventional memory area. This capability is available through the HIMEM Extended-Memory Manager included in IBM DOS Version 5.00 It provides access to extended memory and ensures that no two programs can use the same part of extended memory at the same time.
Note: HIMEM might not be compatible with older programs
that allocate extended
memory directly, rather than by using an extended-memory manager.
