5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Beginner Book, March 17, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Running MS-DOS: Version 6.2 (Running series) (Paperback)

This book is full of hands-on exercises, accurate examples, and a very good starting point for those of us who still have to deal with MS-DOS. Even though many claim that DOS is gone, it is alive an kicking within Windows NT, Windows 95, and Windows 98, and only true experts of DOS receive a full appreciation of a command line and automated tasks that DOS environment offers over GUI.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fundamental but a little OLD!, January 21, 2000

This review is from: Running MS-DOS: Version 6.2 (Running series) (Paperback)

I was looking for a fundamental DOS book covering basic and network commands, scripts, and a reference. What I got was a book written before Windows 95 with no updated network Commands and a reference not formatted like a dictionary but more like a written chapter. It is a great first book for DOS but I wish I noticed the publish date.
