This review is from: Advanced M. S.-DOS Programming: The Microsoft Guide for Assembly Language and C. Programmers (Paperback)
I've been a DOS user for decades (? - yeah, decades...), and I've always wondered "How were those commands written?" Doing my own small utility commands in assembly, I could never reach the level of "code tightness" that the DOS prompt displayed... "Why is my COPY command 50K larger than their DOS COPY command?!?"
This book showed me why... Ray Duncan's book must have been the DOS programming bible during its time. For those wanting to learn assembly, and the art of writing good programs, this is a definite buy - since DOS is nearly extinct, the price of the book will be minimal. If you're just starting with assembly, this will give you a reason to write ASM, with actual examples that work. DOS may be dead(?) but there are still lessons to be learned from its code.
