5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Command Line Reference, 4 May 1998

By A Customer

Though DOS seems to be next on the endangered species list, Kris Jamsa breaths new life into this sometimes cryptic OS. Unfortunately, this edition only covers versions through DOS 6.0. The definitions and examples are thoroughly explained in plain english. The Command Reference chapter really breaks down the sometimes arcane syntax that you would find in the MS users manuals into easily understandable examples. This is a MUST HAVE reference for anyone who has the urge to jump into the realm of the Command Line.
