Description:
Nutshell books usually deal with textual systems, such as those that make up programming languages and command-line operating environments. But the authors of this guide do a good job of documenting the Windows 95 graphical interface in a similar format. O'Reilly and Mott tackle the main Windows 95 features, the Control Panel applets, Dial-Up Networking, and all the little applets that come with the operating system. Every switch and interface option receives attention. In addition, the authors explain all the Windows 95 shell commands, which many administrators prefer to use. This book is not for newbies. Those who aren't extremely adept at using Windows 95 already--for example, those who haven't yet collided with the system's limitations in a quest to get the machine to do what they want--will find this book confusing. Accomplished power users or system administrators responsible for supporting Windows 95 computers will appreciate the level of detail this book provides. Advanced users will be grateful for the bug workarounds and other tips. --David Wall
