Illustrated DOS Computing

Aimed at anyone who uses a desktop computer, or who needs an introduction to computers within education and businesses, this is a non-technical book enabling beginners to get the best out of their machines.

More experienced computer users may also find this a useful reference source. DOS is a program that gets the computer going each time it is switched on, and DOS must be running before other software can be used.

The use of the DOS program is explained here from the beginning, by explaining what DOS is and why it is needed.

The most useful DOS commands are demonstrated, with examples being used throughout. DOS is short for MS-DOS (also called PC-DOS when sold by IBM). "Illustrated DOS Computing" is suitable for all versions of DOS including 3x, 4x and higher, as used on the IBM PC and PS/2 business microcomputers, or compatible computers made by Compaq, Amstrad and many others. The contents of this guide have been distilled from the everyday experience of many people who have made DOS and business applications software work for them.
