Utilities
The system is configured with several utility programs.
These programs provide added function that enhance the
usability of the system. It is recommended that you
backup these programs to prevent loss of data. Use the
INTRO program shipped with the computer to backup the
utilities. The utility programs are:
SIMUL Allows you to enable/disable simultaneous
display on both the LCD and external
monitor.
Note: The computer will not enter
Suspend/Resume while in the
Simultaneous mode. You must exit
Simultaneous mode before
Suspend/Resume is allowed. Also,
the Func + F7 function is not
recognized until you exit the
Simultaneous mode.
EPP2 Provides Enhanced Parallel Port Utility. This
utility needs to be added to the
AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS if the
option attached to the parallel port supports
the enhanced parallel port mode.
PHDISK Prepares the hard disk drive for the
hibernation feature, including formatting and
the marking of defective areas. A partition is
reserved on the hard disk drive to save data
before the computer enters Hibernation
mode.
Warning: Running this utility causes loss of
data on the hard disk drive. It is important
that the customer backup all data prior to
using this utility.
Important
Run the PHDISK utility if you change the
operating environment, reformat the
hard disk drive, or add additional
memory.
