LEARNING DOS FOR THE COMPLETE NOVICE, 2nd Edition
Copyright 1993
by Steven Woas
Published by Celestial Press
Here is the book that explains the least amount of DOS you need to
know! Beginners do not want to deal with all DOS commands, nor do
they need to. Learning DOS for the Complete Novice is the perfect
tool for new users of IBM PCs and compatibles, as well as educators
and busy executives. It really explains the essentials of using
your PC in a language that anyone will be able to understand--PLAIN
ENGLISH. The step-by-step explanations come with clear examples, so
you will not have to deduce the answers from cryptic switches and
mile-long syntax. This DOS book is logically organized and has
countless TIPS and SHORTCUTS that will surprise many seasoned
users.
