Concise Guide to MS-DOS

Arranged by topic, this book explains the commands to control MS-DOS, and thereby the computer. Each chapter begins with a brief description of the subject (e.g. disk files, devices) and moves on to the most important MS-DOS commands needed to be able to work effectively in that context. MS-DOS allows the user to shape its commands to suit a particular need. This book presents DOS commands in two ways: the basic command form and examples showing how it is used. All aspects of MS-DOS are covered, including installation and autoexec.bat, config.sys, memory and the DOS shell.
