TWO SYSTEMS = ONE BOOK
NEW BOOK FROM OSBORNE/McGRAW HILL MAKES IT ADD UP

Berkeley, CA--First, the bad news: Windows--with its friendly graphical
user interface and easy accessibility with a mouse--is totally dependent
on DOS--that diabolic operating system with its mysterious C:> blinking in
the upper-left corner  awaiting strangely worded commands. Now, the good
news: Osborne/McGraw-Hill has just published Mostly Windows with Just
Enough DOS by Herbert Schildt for all those users who want to take full
advantage of Windows' versatility and power while learning only the DOS
they need.

Because Windows and DOS form an integrated and inseparable operating
system, Mostly Windows with Just Enough DOS addresses the needs of
Windows/DOS users from this perspective The first major book to take this
approach, it is targeted both for users who are familiar with DOS and are
Moving to Windows and for new users who have Windows installed on their
systems. "To fulfill the promise of Windows' power," states Schildt, "a
solid working knowledge of DOS is required. This book will make Windows
users more productive and give them the background they need to work with
DOS confidently and easily "

Mostly Windows with Just Enough DOS first covers some fundamental
background and then moves on to DOS basics, such as the DOS prompt, simple
commands, files, and directories. After that, readers are ready to learn
about Windows and how it relates to DOS Windows' Program Manager, File
Manager. and other utilities are explained in detail. Finally, Schildt
discusses more advanced commands, such as batch files, from both the DOS
and Windows perspective

Another special feature of the book is a "How To" appendix offering quick
practical instructions for specific tasks It will list a number of common
operations and then explain how to perform each from DOS and from
Windows--perfect for readers actively using both systems.

As Windows becomes more and more pervasive on computer systems, it becomes
more and more important to have the information needed to streamline tasks
for enhanced productivity and speed. Two books in one, Mostly Windows with
Just Enough DOS is the single best resource for all Windows/DOS users to
learn how to take full advantage of both powerful systems.
