PC programmers use system calls from many different sources, MS-DOS, the ROM BIOS and various APIs (application program interfaces) such as Windows 3.1, NetWare and DESQview. This updated second edition represents one of two volumes published to replace the first edition, the other being "Network Interrupts". They provide programmers with a concise description and other essential information on each system call. In addition, the books are sources of information on potential conflicts between calls from different APIS. This edition has been updated to include DOS 6, Windows 3.1, DR-DOS 7 and other APIS.

The Absolute Reference!,
By
This review is from: PC Interrupts : A Programmer's Reference to BIOS, DOS, and Third-Party Calls (Paperback)
Nobody else could write a book like PC Interrupts, than Ralf Brown & Jim Kyle. This book is not only a reference, it is written from programmers for programmers and all the needs of an experienced developer. The title speaks for itself, the book is a milestone in Computer Literature and traces a long period of general PC development. May be, that the most of the stuff is dated, but anyway there's often enough a good reason to read some and the enormous information impact makes the book valuable for every programmer, today and forever. I recommend the book particularly!

The difinitive edition of Ralf Brown's Interrupt List, PC INTERRUPTS lists every DOS and BIOS interrupt call I have ever needed. This book should reside on the shelf of anyone interested in low-level code, especially assembly. -nick black
