Q39.

What software is supplied with the LT - 286e?

MS - DOS 4.01 is the operating system provided with the LT- 286e. This

includes the new installation program (SELECT) and the DOS Shell

interface. Also included is a special Diagnostics program, the SETLCD and

HDDPSAVE utilities and the Turbo EMS memory management software.

The User’s Guide says there should be 3 MS- DOS diskettes (Install,

Operating and Shell) but I found a fourth one called Reference. What is

it?

This is the diskette that contains the special Diagnostics program and the

SETLCD and HDDPSAVE utilities.

What is Turbo EMS? Who supports this software?

Turbo EMS is a memory management utility that can allow conventional or

extended memory or hard disk or floppy diskette to emulate LIM (Lotus-

Intel - Microsoft) 4.0 expanded memory. This means that programs that use

EMS (Expanded Memory Specification) memory, such as Lotus 1 - 2 - 3 and

Microsoft Excel, can work with files larger than the actual memory available.

Turbo EMS is produced by a company called Lantana Technology. By

special arrangement, Epson is including their software with every LT - 286e.

Lantana offers full support for Turbo EMS and can be reached at (619)

565-6400 if you have any questions.

I noticed that GW - BASIC isn’t mentioned. Is it still included?

No. GW - BASIC was not very widely used, as most people that were

interested in BASIC programming generally purchased Microsoft’s

QuickBASIC or Borland’s Turbo BASIC. However, GW - BASIC is available

as an option (A806301) from Epson’s Accessories Marketing group.
