The best book I've ever seen on DOS, which both asked and *answered*
"real" questions and solved problems that NONE of the other books did,
(despite their flashy "free" CD's with everything but the kitchen
sink), is:
"Peter Norton's Complete Guide to DOS 6.22" ~
Peter Norton / Paperback / Published 1994/.
6th Edition
Paperback, 1150 pages
Published by Sams Publishing
Publication date: December 1, 1994
Dimensions (in inches): 9.10 x 7.35 x 2.16
ISBN: 067230614X
OK, you didn't ask about DOS, but that book was the ONLY one of five
that
mentioned, e.g., "SYS C:" - and I'm sure you know how important that is!
When I buy my next book on Win95, based on that experience, it will be:
"Peter Norton's Complete Guide to Windows 95" ~
Peter Norton, John Mueller / Paperback / Published 1997
2 Edition , List: 35.00
Paperback, 1124 pages
Published by Sams Publishing
Publication date: March 1, 1997
Dimensions (in inches): 9.05 x 7.35 x 2.14
ISBN: 0672310406
I noticed that upcoming soon is:
Complete Guide to Windows 98 (Is this guy thinking ahead, or what?)
by Peter Norton, John Mueller
List: $29.99 (may be released by now)
Paperback, 900 pages
Published by Sams Publishing
Publication date: December 1, 1997 (delayed)
ISBN: 0672312301
FWIW, I'm not on Norton's payroll and am still very angry at Symantec
for the premature release of a very buggy Norton Utilities 2.0, which
made hash out of my hard drive, but Norton and Mueller write very very
informative books!
There's another, even more "techie", guys: (Haven't seen this one yet),
Peter Norton's Complete Guide to Windows 9X, Third Edition
