Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Dos For Children
Review: This book has little or no real content. It looks good on the surface but there is nothing underneath.

In the interest of system safety the author has left out so much information it leaves the book essentially useless. Worse, it gives the impression that some of the things you may need to do can't be done.

This book may be okay for teaching children a limited use of dos but anyone that has any judgement at all needs more information.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Good for beginners, bad for everyone else
Review: This book is a good book for becoming familiar with the DOS operating system and all the commands, but it lacked any information that would be helpful to people who want to become intermidiate-advanced users. For example, the author refuses to tell you anything about BATCH files, which really annoyed me. There are over 10 commands that had to do with BATCH files that there was only the most basic information about, and the book said that if you wanted to write a BATCH file executing a program with another name (doom.exe instead of doom2.exe, for example) then ask a friend to do it. What kind of advice is that for a book about DOS?

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good for beginners...
Review: This book was great, but it needed to have more advanced stuff. Heck, I already knew about 68% of the book!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great DOS Reference
Review: This was an excellent book. It tought me many things about Dos that I never knew I could do on it.
