Book Description
( Updated and expanded for MS-DOS V5 and V6 ( The third edition, at 830 pages, is three times larger than the second edition. This is a book for programmers who have long since mastered the craft of programming and who are now looking for technical information to support advanced applications in a PC environment. Explains core DOS processes, useful for systems programmers writing sophisticated applications. A good companion to such books as Ray Duncan's Advanced MS-DOS Programming and Extending DOS. Each chapter gives complete details about some advanced technique or subject. Each chapter can be read independently. Revised chapters explain event timing, accessing the global environment, TSRs, critical error handling, modifying the DOS boot, interrupt-driven serial I/O, interfacing to the floppy disk controller, and writing device drivers. New chapters cover programming serial communications, the floating point coprocessor, the PC speaker, CD-ROM drivers, Direct Memory Access, VGA graphics animation, self-loading device drivers, handling DOS file handle limits, and the Loadall instruction.
