Windows User’s Guide to DOS: Using the Command Line in Windows 2000 Professional

Back

Carolyn Gillay and Bette Peat have teamed up again to write the Windows 2000 Professional version of their runaway bestseller Windows User’s Guide to DOS. Like its predecessor, this book is aimed at the student who has had little or no experience in working with a computer at the operating system level. It is suitable for a three-credit, 16-week, semester-length course.
