What's an "advanced beginner" you ask? Me. I'm extremely fluent in both CP/M and Unix but don't know squat about MS-Dos. I'd like to get a book that contains all the info I need to know about programming MS-Dos. I don't want to buy one of those $30, 5-pound books that hold your hand step by step and by the time you've read all 800 pages you finally know how to copy a file. (I've already got a commands handbook.) I'm looking for a book that concisely explains all the system calls. I want to know how to do everything. I want to know how to write device drivers. And I want it all in under 200 pages. Basicly, I'm looking for a reference book, not a tutorial. If it had a chapter on 80386 machine language that would be nice too. Anybody have any any favorite books they want to recommend? -- -ed falk, sun microsystems sun!falk, falk@sun.com terrorist, cryptography, DES, drugs, cipher, secret, decode, DSS, FBI, NSA, CIA, NRO, SDI, communist, proletariat.
