- Hi all; thanx to those who had advice for me. The best-looking
- book at Computer Literacy seemed to be the MS-DOS Programmer's
- Reference, published by QUE. The most recommended one was
- Advanced MS-DOS Programming, by Ray Duncan.
-
- However, the guy at the store talked me into a huge monster
- of a book called "PC Intern", which he swears contains *everything*.
- He seems to be right, there are chapters on every kind of hardware
- you can imagine. The only shortcoming so far seems to be that it
- doesn't document the undocumented system calls. It's 1300 pages with
- a companion disk. Anybody here ever seen this book before?
