Outstanding overview of a world-changing Operating System

Like it or hate it, if you're a computer user you cannot deny what MS-DOS has done for the computer industry. From its conception as QDOS into Microsoft's cash cow, MS-DOS has turned many people to or away from computers. Mr. Duncan's Encyclopedia of MS-DOS is an outstanding reference to MS-DOS; assembly language and C code is included to give programmers 'stripped down' versions of MS-DOS functions; many other features are left out of the bare bones code and its up to the programmer to add them in - programming exercises to sharpen the brain and fingertips. Archaic by today's standards, this OS still has some life as a teaching tool for young computer operators and programmers - this Encyclopedia will serve anyone well.
