"Programmer's Technical Reference for MSDOS and the IBM PC"
*****************************
The "Tech Ref", as it is affectionately known, is not just another list of
interrupts. It is a for-real programmer's guide, packed with the details real
programmers need. The Tech Ref will be going into print in Europe in early
1990, but take note - the hardcopy version is less than a third the size of
the current disk-based text.
The TechRef can go along with you from machine to machine without the need
for hauling reference books around. It's great for consultants or travelling
programmers.
You can use Vern Buerg's LIST.COM to view and clip text from the Reference,
or cut and paste with DesQview or SideKick. Use your string search functions
to find text. After a short time with the Tech Ref you'll probably never want
to use a printed manual again.
