Radix2 Advanced DOS Interface Product Profile.

The Radix2 Advanced DOS Interface is a powerful, high performance, file
management system and developer tool, for the 80x86 family of
microprocessors hosted by the Disk Operating System.

Radix2 ADI developed by Radix2 Software Engineering a division of DMARZ
Diversified Sciences Co. is a multiple program system that enables DOS,
MS-Windows, and OS/2 users to exploit the ability to custom configure and
control both real mode and 8086 virtual machines hosted by DOS.

The Radix2 ADI system has defined a new technology in the DOS
microprocessor arena. Aside from total user configurablity and ease of
use, there are four levels of file selection criteria that are
automatically integrated. This is what is called a "hierarchical command
concatenation processing engine". By integrating DOS wildcards, file
attributes, a quick sort, and a multiple file text string search, files
may be manipulated with unprecedented control.

Along with this processing engine, detailed information about logical byte
count file contents and physical space allocation are provided per file
and cumulative per directory. This information gives the user a precise
picture of disk space utilization without becoming a computer scientist.
The user's guide that accompanies the software explains in detail the
relationship between logical and physical space and how it is allocated in
clusters on floppy and hard disk drives.

This software product invokes its system applications through a GUI menu
that acts as an application launcher. Optionally programs can be executed
without the menus directly at the DOS prompt. During system startup a
configuration file is read to initialize the system with a user defined
configuration or standard system defaults. As the user becomes more
advanced, s/he may begin exploiting the multiple co-resident layering
technology built-in to Radix2 ADI. This technology allows multiple ADI
views and environments to be spawned and inherited, while retaining parent
processes in ram.

The software engineering design decision to "NOT swap the static nucleus to
disk", was made for achieving ultimate speed. Thus the multiple
co-resident layering technology compromises ram versus the overhead of
swapping to disk for each new instance of an ADI application. Radix2 ADI
v1.0 and v1.1 boasts 63k or less for each nucleus.

The advanced user may take advantage of Radix2 ADI's ability to read and
write configurations to any directory in the host system. This gives the
user, theoretically, an unlimited number of configurations!

ADI comes equipped with an interactive Help system that can be accessed by
simply pressing "H" in the primary display. This Help system is useful for
referencing command key sequences, provides information about system
operation, and contains generic and technical reference information.

Many other features may be referenced in detail, in the technical summary
and user's guide.
