- DOSTIPS1.ARC/DOSTIPS2.ARC/DOSTIPS3.ARC
- (Editted and compiled by Dean R. Wood)
- November 25, 1985
-
- The DOSTIPSx.ARC files are a compilation of articles from various
- computer magazines accumulated over the past two years or so. I take
- NO personal credit for authoring any of the articles; all I did was
- type the articles into categories of files in the hope that they might
- be useful to others. The magazines cited with the various articles
- include:
-
- COMPUTE! Magazine
- Microsystems
- PC Age
- PC Magazine (User-to-User, PC Tutor, Power User, feature articles)
- PC World (Star-Dot-Star, The Help Screen, feature articles)
-
- You may find an occasional "tip" not attributed to a magazine or other
- source.
-
