Summary: Immense Value For Windows Users
Comment: Many people started using personal computers after Windows had replaced DOS and as such are only familiar with Graphical User Interface and drag and drop features. But when the GUI fails, and command line action is required, they are completely lost. This book is an excellent manual and reference on DOS. It provides a history of DOS and its underlying concepts to the degree of informing and not inundating the user. The explanation of different commands includes the DOS version and the function of the related switches. A chapter is devoted to batch files, which is of interest in writing scripts. Other sections describe DOS components such as command.com and autoexec.bat, 8.3 file naming convention and many other useful topics. Understanding of DOS is crucial to anyone seeking to configure and troubleshoot any version of Windows. A saying goes: "DOS is dead", but when Windows fails, it is DOS (Windows command line) that will save the day!

Summary: Still crazy after all these years...
Comment: With most new systems shipped with Win2K or ME, some people question whether knowledge of MS-DOS is still a viable, marketable skill. It could very well be, if you're one of these people:
A hot-shot network admin whose first job duties are to compose login scripts and set up a NetWare server;
A power gamer trying to get old favorites to run on a new box;
A beginning programmer wondering why their code works on their machine, but won't run correctly or even install on other PCs;
A clueless new user who has done something horribly wrong, recoiling in terror because there's nothing but a "C" on the screen AND THE MOUSE DOESN'T WORK!
If you're one of these people - that is, if you own a PC - you will eventually have to come to terms with the DOS command line. There is no finer book in print than this one to prepare you for that task - no others are needed, no others come close.
