- Wiley & Sons Ltd.

- Brown, Ralf & Kyle, Jim (1991). PC Interrupts, A Programmer's
- Reference to Bios, Dos, and Third-Party Calls. Addison-Wesley
- Publishing Company. Inc. (This is not a Turbo Pascal text-book,
- but a very useful reference book for advanced Turbo Pascal and
- other programmers. Ralf Brown is the author of the well-known
- garbo.uwasa.fi:/pc/programming/inter*.zip interrupt list. The
- book is based on the list, but the material is arranged by
- subjects instead of chronological interrupt numbers).

- W.W. Norton & Co, N.Y. (A description from the author: 894 pages,
- 16 full color, with 1.2 or 1.44 meg diskette. This edition was
- written directly for TP6.0, and fully covers objects. The emphasis
- is on modification of existing code; many long (100-500) line
- projects, all using graphics, are supplied).
