The MORE command paginates text, so that one can view files containing more than one screen of text. More may also be used as a filter. While viewing MORE text, the return key displays the next line, the space bar displays the next page. The command is available in MS-DOS versions 2 and later. [1]
Some MS-DOS programs, including parts of the Microsoft MS-DOS shell (COMMAND.COM) and operating-system utility programs (such as EDLIN), treat a Control-Z in a text file as marking the end of meaningful data, and/or append a Control-Z to the end when writing a text file. This was done for two reasons:
MS-DOS / PC DOS and some related disk operating systems use the files mentioned here. System Files: [1] IO.SYS (or IBMBIO.COM): This contains the system initialization code and builtin device drivers; MSDOS.SYS (or IBMDOS.COM): This contains the DOS kernel. Command-line interpreter (Shell): COMMAND.COM: This is the command interpreter.
SPF/PC is an MS-DOS-based text editor and file manager designed to have an interface that was familiar to those using mainframe SPF and ISPF. [1]Later Microsoft Windows-based versions were named SPF/SE and SPF/SE 365. [2]

Norton Guides manual and disks. Norton Guides were a product family sold by Peter Norton Computing.The guides were written in 1985 by Warren Woodford for the x86 Assembly Language, C, BASIC, and Forth languages and made available to DOS users via a terminate-and-stay-resident (TSR) program that integrated with programming language editors on IBM PC type computers.
The library loaded graphic drivers (*.BGI) and vector fonts (*.CHR) from disk in order to provide device independent graphics support. It was possible for the programmer to embed the graphic driver into the executable file by linking the graphic driver as object code with the aid of a utility provided by the compiler (bgiobj.exe).
conio.h is a C header file used mostly by MS-DOS compilers to provide console input/output. [1] It is not part of the C standard library or ISO C , nor is it defined by POSIX . This header declares several useful library functions for performing "istream input and output" from a program.
