Co., Inc., Everett, WA Lines: 22 < Is this the line that sometimes gets eaten ? > Judging from all of the questions pervading the net about interrupts, execute and stay resident, environment variables, comspec, command.com, switchchar, and other undocumented features in DOS 2.x, it is obvious that a good book on the subject is needed. Is there any authoritative reference book on DOS? Is the IBM DOS 2.x manual the best there is? (I hope not!) Does Microsoft publish a better manual for the generic MS-DOS product? Are software publishers privy to more information than the rest of the unwashed masses? Any information on books, articles, etc., would be appreciated by me, and also the rest of the net, I assume. -- Bruce T. White John Fluke Mfg.
