Hi all; thanx to those who had advice for me.  The best-looking
book at Computer Literacy seemed to be the MS-DOS Programmer's
Reference, published by QUE.  The most recommended one was
Advanced MS-DOS Programming, by Ray Duncan.

However, the guy at the store talked me into a huge monster
of a book called "PC Intern", which he swears contains *everything*.
He seems to be right, there are chapters on every kind of hardware
you can imagine.  The only shortcoming so far seems to be that it
doesn't document the undocumented system calls.  It's 1300 pages with
a companion disk.  Anybody here ever seen this book before?
