PC Interrupts: A Programmer's Reference to BIOS, DOS, and Third Party Calls

By Ralf Brown

PC programmers use system calls from many different sources, MS-DOS, the ROM BIOS and various APIs (application program interfaces) such as Windows 3.1, NetWare and DESQview. This updated second edition represents one of two volumes published to replace the first edition, the other being "Network Interrupts". They provide programmers with a concise description and other essential information on each system call. In addition, the books are sources of information on potential conflicts between calls from different APIS. This edition has been updated to include DOS 6, Windows 3.1, DR-DOS 7 and other APIS. This description may be from another edition of this product.

The Absolute Reference!

Nobody else could write a book like PC Interrupts, than Ralf Brown & Jim Kyle. This book is not only a reference, it is written from programmers for programmers and all the needs of an experienced developer. The title speaks for itself, the book is a milestone in Computer Literature and traces a long period of general PC development. May be, that the most of the stuff is dated, but anyway there's often enough a good reason...

Interrupts? -> Get Brown & Kyle's book

The classic Brown-Kyle book, this book is just great it has all the interrupts and third party calls info that every programmer needs I can't say anymore about this book just that it rocks!

Absolutely neccessary guide to interrupts

The difinitive edition of Ralf Brown's Interrupt List, PC INTERRUPTS lists every DOS and BIOS interrupt call I have ever needed. This book should reside on the shelf of anyone interested in low-level code, especially assembly. -nick black
