5.0 out of 5 stars one step backwards to steps forward, July 25, 2001

This review is from: New Perspectives on Microsoft MS-DOS Command Line - Comprehensive (Paperback)
This is the best step-by-step book on the DOS command line that I have ever come across. I have been trying to get a basic understanding of the DOS command line, and this book gave me what I was looking for. It also has a great amount of information about Processors and the differences between the Microsoft operating systems. I have tried to get a handle on DOS using the various quick learning books without much success. This was the first book that gave me what I was looking for. I was very intimidated by the DOS prompt before reading this book. After reading this book I feel very comfortable with the DOS prompt. I learned some of the DOS command line techniques, using the different switches and directories, it gave me a much greater understanding of what's behind the Windows Interface. The last three chapters go much further than I expected. It goes into the heart of networking and TCP\IP protocols. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in understanding the nuts and bolts of the DOS command line prompt.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Guide to the Command Line, September 23, 2002

This review is from: New Perspectives on Microsoft MS-DOS Command Line - Comprehensive (Paperback)
This book was an extremely valuable tool in gaining a complete understanding of the Microsoft Windows 2000 Command Line interface, and various other facets to the Windows operating system. It makes a great handbook for quick answers to quick questions, and is perfect for beginners to the Command Line, with all of the tutorials, and step by step examples. I only wish that these two authors would write a similarly detailed, yet introductory book on the UNIX operating system, seeing as there aren't many excellent books on such a topic for novices.

This review is from: New Perspectives on Microsoft MS-DOS Command Line - Comprehensive (Paperback)
This is a pretty good text. If you know almost nothing about command line OS's, this is a good start. It takes you step by step through W2K's version of DOS, and shows you what to do, how to do it, and what you get when you do it. It is not an in depth text, but it gives you the basics that a newby will need to get anywhere.
