USING SOFTWARE

Software is the set of programs, procedures, and related documentation associated with a computer system. A program is a coded set of instructions that interprets the information you give to the computer with the keyboard or a mouse, and directs your computer to carry out a task.

Different kinds of software perform different kinds of tasks. Examples kinds of software are operating systems, such as MS-DOS, Windows 95 and its enhanced versions and programs Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Office. There is a wide variety of software programs including word processors, accounting packages, computer-aided design systems and games.

The operating system gets your computer running and controls the operation of your computer's activities. It manages the flow, entry, and display of software and data to and from each part of your computer system. To run a program, you first need to run the operating system. Some years ago the Microsoft disk operating system (MS-DOS) or a computer manufacturer's version of MS-DOS was the operating system most widely used with personal computers. Nowadays it is Windows 98, 2000, XP and others.

When you start a program, you see information on your screen, such as menus and commands. While you are using a program, the operating system is managing your computer's activities. It moves instructions and files from one part of your computer system to another as you choose commands and type information.
