Advanced MS-DOS Programming : The Microsoft Guide for Assembly Language and C Programmers

Rating:
Summary: This book contains NO information on UNIX at all!.
Review: Based on the previous review, I bought this book for a large UNIX project I am working on. I wonder if my friend from Egypt even read this book? This is a great COBOL reference though.

Summary: A Real Review
Review: OK, the two other jokers have had their fun. Seriously, Ray Duncan's "Advanced MS-DOS Programming" is a must-have reference for the Assembler INT 21h system services for MS-DOS based PC's. This is not a "How-To" book, but rather a complete reference manual. If you're trying to learn 8086 assembler, I'd suggest Peter Norton and John Socha's "Peter Norton's Assembly Language Book For The IBM PC", but keep Ray Duncan's book handy for the details.

Summary: It has helped me out a lot whenever I do advanced DOS apps.
Review: This is definitely THE BOOK if you want to do some cool programming in DOS. No matter if you find yourself in the DOS Debugger or in Pascal or C++, you can easely do very advanced things by playing around with the interrupts. This book shows you excactly what you need.
