Some general suggestions on help on dos.
For absolute beginners in any area of computers I have found that an
appropriate volumn of the dummies series - in this case MSDOs for
Dummies or Dos for Dummies really does get you started and I have seen
it listed on line as a used book for under one
Hi Allan!
Been a while since I looked for a beginner book on DOS, but Special
Edition Using MS-DOS(r) 6.22, Third Edition by Que looked pretty
good. It even mentions FreeDOS! :-)
Kind of a thick book. I lot of IT books seem to go for number of
pages, unfortunately. I hope it doesn't scare you
A book that helped me learn the internal structure of MS-DOS is
Undocumented DOS 2nd Ed. by Andrew Schulman, ISBN0-201-63287-X, $44.95
retail cost. There were several Undocumented books is a whole series.
Examples were mostly in assembly code, my favorite high level language. It
covers a number

Hi my name is Allan:
Is there some kind of book on the kind of DOS that you run that I could learn
out of?? Mind you I am just a begineer so it would have to be easy to start
out with!! I have just a little not much of MS DOS in the XT computer days
but other than that I know nothing
Hi Alan,
you can (in general) assume that freedos is very similar to
ms dos, so you can read a book about ms dos :-). There is
also built-in help in freedos: Type help to start that.
The help texts will be updated soonish. Our command.com has
built-in help, too: Type ? to get a list of built-in
