5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Book For Dummies
This book will really help you learn DOS commands. The DOS commands are very easy to look up in this book. This book gives simple and right to the point explanations of each command. I highly recommend this book for anyone who uses DOS.

3.0 out of 5 stars good but not complete
The author seems to assume you already know something about DOS. He doesn't completely cover the basics you need to start with before you start entering commands in the MS-DOS prompt; for example, the command to change the directory is in the regular reference section rather than at the start of the book where you need it. And he just decided to not cover a few commands,...

The author seems to assume you already know something about DOS. He doesn't completely cover the basics you need to start with before you start entering commands in the MS-DOS prompt; for example, the command to change the directory is in the regular reference section rather than at the start of the book where you need it. And he just decided to not cover a few commands, like "debug". So it's not quite for "dummies", really, and it's not complete either. Lastly, we're referred to yet another book called "DOS for Dummies" rather than him explaining fully? What's up with that?

Don't get me wrong - it's still quite useful for people who already know a few basics and want to know more. But it's not well explained enough at the start for someone who's never dealt with DOS and someone who wants to really know DOS is going to have to find and buy another book on the subject.
