Software
• Software is set of programs (which are step bystep instructions) telling the computer how toprocess data.
• Software needs to be installed on a computer,usually from a CD.
• Softwares can be divided into two groups:
- System SW- Application SW

Software (Contd.)
System Software
• It controls the overall operation of the system.
• It is stored in the computer's memory andinstructs the computer to load, store, andexecute an application.
• Examples: Operating System (OS), Translators
DOS, Windows, Unix etc.

Advantages of Using Computers
• Speed: Computers can carry out instructions in lessthan a millionth of a second.
• Accuracy : Computers can do the calculations withouterrors and very accurately.
• Diligence : Computers are capable of performing anytask given to them repetitively.
• Storage Capacity : Computers can store largevolume of data and information on magnetic media.

History of Evolution Of Computers
Two Eras:
• Mechanical Era (Before 1945)
• Electronic Era (1945 - )
Can be divided into generations.
• First Generation (1945 – 1954)
• Second Generation (1955 – 1964)
• Third Generation (1965 – 1974)
• Fourth Generation (1975 - )

VDU (Monitor)
• This is the television-like screen where the resultsof a computer's tasks are displayed.
• Monitors come in all sizes, but most commonlythey are either 15 or 17 inches
(measured diagonally from one corner of the
screen to the opposite corner).

Keyboard
• The keyboard looks like a typewriter.
• It contains all the letters of the alphabet,
numbers and some special symbols.
• It operates like a typewriter keypad, butinstead of moving an arm, which strikes the
paper, it sends an electronic impulse to thecomputer, which displays a character on themonitor.

• Its a device that is used to control the computer.A cable connects the mouse to the computer.
• When the mouse is moved on a pad, called amouse pad, the cursor on the screen moves.
• A cursor is a small symbol displayed on the
computer screen (normally a diagonal arrow thatis used as a pointer) that shows you what themouse is referencing on the screen.

A Second Classification
This Classification is based on the type of interface
Operating System provides for the user to work in.
Character User Interface (CUI)
The User has to type the commands on thecommand prompt to get the work completed.
Ex. DOS, UNIX.
Graphical User Interface (GUI)
The User need not type any commands. He/She
just point and clicks on the desired Icon to get the
work done.
Ex. Windows (9X, XP, NT, 2000), Linux.

MS-DOS Overview
MS-DOS is an acronym for MicroSoft Disk Operating System
It is a CUI based operating system.
It provides user with a command prompt (generally called as C:\) where
various command could be typed.
When one operates in the DOS environment, one interacts with thecommand interpreter, which interprets the commands given by user.
It provides an environment for execution of various application programs
like MS-Word, MODBANKER, ISBS etc.

What is Command
It is a string of characters which tells the computer what to do.
When one types commands to a computer, one is conversingwith the operating system's command interpreter.
For example, to copy a file called file.txt from the 3-1/2"floppy drive to the hard drive, one could type
C:\> copy a:\file.txt c:\
The word "copy" is a DOS command which causes files to becopied from one location to another

Entering the DOS Environment
If the OS is DOS then the system will directly show prompt (C:\>)
If the OS is windows one must either terminate the Windows environment, oropen a DOS shell within the Windows environment.
Ist Method: Terminating Windows Environment
Select “Restart in MS-DOS Mode” from Shut Down in StartMenu.

Files and Directory
Files
A file is a collection of Records. It is the smallest unit of File System (Storage) in a computer.
Any document created using computer is a file. This document could either be aletter, any excel sheet, any image or even a database.
Directory A collection of files is directory (in DOS) or folder (in Windows)
It is analogous to the Office Folder which contains various documents.
A directory/folder eases the management of related files/ documents, like thevarious circulars related to personnel could be placed in a directory called“personnel” and all the circulars related to loans could be placed in a directory
called “loans”.

Filenames in DOS?
The filename in DOS have the following format.
<name>.<ext>
It has two parts the name and the extension.
The name could be of 8 characters and the extension of 3characters.
The filename can contain alphabets and numbers. It cannotcontain any special character other than underscore (_) andalso no spaces.

Organization of files in DOS
The DOS file system is a hierarchical file system.
Files are collected into directories, and directories may contain
both files and other directories.
There is always a directory which is not contained by any other,
called the root which is represented by the backslash '\'
character.

6/20/2012 Introduction to Computers 68
Organization of files in DOS (Contd.)
Concept of Path: Every file can be specified by enumeratingall of the directories between the root and it, separated by the
backslash '\' character, and appending the file name to the end.
The drive which contains the root is specified at the head of thepath, separated from the root by a colon (':')
The hard drive is most commonly known as the C: drive, and
the floppy drives are usually called A:(3-1/2 inch) and B: (5-1/4 inch).
