DOS for Dummies [antikvár]

i/iPrefaceDOS For Dummies is the ideal computer reference. Have a problem? Great, look it up in DOS For Dummies, find out how to get it done right, then close the book and return to your work. That's the way all computer books should work: quickly, painlessly, and with a dash of humor to keep the edge off.So why is a DOS command reference needed? Yikes! Who wants to look at that junk? Who cares about the /SPITOON option on the WAMBGOU command? Chances are you might, someday.The way we work with computers is that we often imitate what others do. Fred may hand you a sheet and say, "Type in these DOS commands before you quit work today." Being suspicious^which is always good around Fred you want to make sure that you won't be doing anything disastrous. DOS For Dummies can't help you weasel out of command formats and cryptic, seldom-used options on commands that are way beyond the reach of the typical Dummy. So what you're left with is the DOS manual or the fuzzy-headed online help.Thank goodness for this book!Greg Harvey has done the tedious job of transposing all the DOS commands from ciypto-manual speak into a plain language reference we can use during those pciinful "must look it up in the manual" moments. He's peppered it with information, dos and don'ts, and the splash of humor you've come to expect from any book with Dummies on the title.So tuck this reference in tight somewhere right by your PC. Keep it handy for when you must know the advanced options of some command or to confirm your worst fears about what it is Fred wants you to do to your own PC.Dan Gookin
