Microsoft Press Introduces The Ultimate MS-DOS Book
Yet Another Dry-as-Dust Tutorial, Guide, and Reference - NOT!!

What do Desi Arnaz, Lucille Ball, the Lone Ranger, and Alfred Hitchcock
have to do with MS-DOS? For readers of THE ULTIMATE MS-DOS BOOK, from
Microsoft Press, they are all helping make personal computers more fun and
easier to use than ever before.

That's right. This full-color, fact-filled, and slightly wacky guide to
MS-DOS 6.0 and 6.2 by JoAnne Woodcock enlists the help of entertainment
greats to keep readers entertained. The Lone Ranger gallops to the rescue
like the Undelete command. Rock and roll legend Jerry Lee Lewis is
featured in the section on computer keyboards. And dozens of showbiz
personalities illustrate the joys and the pitfalls of personal computing.
Even though you probably never thought you'd chuckle while learning about
the "mother of all operating systems," Woodcock' s talent for delivering
the facts with flair makes even the most difficult-to-master features a
pleasure to learn.

But good times don't get in the way of learning about how to run a
computer. Woodcock's witty and engaging writing style simply enhances the
readability of the book. In fact, THE ULTIMATE MS-DOS BOOK may be the only
computer guide many PC users will ever need. The book devotes sections to
hardware and software fundamentals, a practical walk-through of common
MS-DOS commands, and a full exploration of new utilities and
operating-system features.

Vivid color photographs and illustrations enliven nearly every page. The
super-easy-to-read design invites browsing. And navigational tools and
user-friendly icons make it easy for readers to turn to the information
they need.

If THE ULTIMATE MS-DOS BOOK is well suited to the user who's just tackling
MS-DOS, it's also ideal for upgraders to version 6.2. Readers will also
learn to:

* Install the MS-DOS 6.2 Upgrade without disturbing any 
  existing files
* Safely double hard disk size with DoubleSpace
* Detect and repair flaws and storage problems on hard disks
  and floppies
* Protect systems against computer viruses
* Provide more memory for your computer--without buying more
  hardware

In addition, a special section at the end of the book presents answers to
common questions from every-day computer users. This valuable information
in question-and-answer format comes straight from the Microsoft Product
Support Services team--the front line of dedicated software experts who
help people with real, day-to-day concerns about using MS-DOS and their
computers. A comprehensive table of contents and an exhaustive, fully
cross-referenced index help quickly locate information about any topic in
the book.
