<p>( Updated and expanded for MS-DOS V5 and V6 ( The third edition, at 830 pages, is three times larger than the second edition. This is a book for programmers who have long since mastered the craft of programming and who are now looking for technical information to support advanced applications in a PC environment. Explains core DOS processes, useful for systems programmers writing sophisticated applications. A good companion to such books as Ray Duncan's Advanced MS-DOS Programming and Extending DOS.
