    I got this book w/disk and find it rather useful, ( i dislike typing in 
listings ;-).  The only problems I have is 
1)  He used Turbo C to compile the libraries, I have Quick C.
2)  His Hercules Routines Do Not Work with my TRUE Hercules Card.

I would suggest getting the book, with disk. I am solving 1 by recompiling,
and 2 by rewritting using the Quick C library ( also lets me have 1 version
for both Hercules & our EGA/VGA systems on campus)

     Hopes this Helps

Of course the above is personal opinion, And has no bearing on reality...
