Description
This is designed both for the novice seeking an introduction to the subject of PC-DOS and the experienced user requiring concise explanations of more advanced DOS commands. The text covers first the essential DOS concepts and commands (basic capabilities, frequently required) followed by the advanced capabilities, infrequently required. The "Tips and Tricks" secion aims to point out valuable, but not necessarily obvious DOS techniques. To enable quick access to information on a particular DOS command, there is a commands index and also a glossary of terms designed to keep users up-to-date with all relevant terminology.
