Why support DOSREF instead of relying on one of those public domain
|
|
"interrupt lists"? Sheer size, for one. Even in LHarc format DOSREF
|
|
bulks out to over a megabyte, making it too large for most sysops to
|
|
consider keeping online. Registered users also get support via:
|
|
|
|
The Courts of Chaos BBS (TechRef support board)
|
|
RIME/RelayNet
|
|
BIX
|
|
CompuServe
|
|
airmail
|
|
|
|
You get the very latest edition of this manual on disk, with no worries
|
|
about corrupted or tampered text. DOSREF is a quality product, in use
|
|
by the US Navy, CalTech, Borland, NEC, Wang, General Motors, Citicorp,
|
|
Rockwell, Honeywell, Digital Research, Central Point Software, 20th Century
|
|
Fox, Associated Press, hospitals, universities, and government agencies
|
|
around the world.
|
|
|
|
The Registered User reference consists of over a megabyte of the compressed
|
|
technical reference, appendices, and sample source code. That's about three
|
|
megabytes of raw data when uncompressed, or several times larger than the
|
|
shareware version.
|
|
|
|
The Registered User version contains information on device drivers, mouse
|
|
programming, Virtual Control Program Interface, Microsoft Windows 2.x, hard
|
|
drives, hardware information, virus and Trojan programs, EMS 3.2, LIM 4.0,
|
|
EEMS 3.2, CD-ROM, network programming, DOS 5.0, and more.
|
|
|
|
Registered users will be advised by mail of updates.
|
|
|
|
Several people who have downloaded copies over three years old have written
|
|
to see if I was still supporting the Reference. The answer is yes. Not only
|
|
that, but my book contract calls for keeping the information current. If
|
|
you're concerned, just drop a postcard.

Do you live outside the US? If so, you're probably familiar with the
|
|
hassles of keeping up with the latest information - the three to five month
|
|
lead time for US publication, plus time for local book dealers to catalog
|
|
new releases, plus problems in trying to order... plus the delays while your
|
|
book comes in on special order, goes through Customs, the inevitable price
|
|
hikes through all the middlemen, taxes... not only is DOSREF priced
|
|
well below the price of good printed computer books in the US, it's probably
|
|
far cheaper than you could expect to pay for US books locally. Plus your
|
|
order will show up in your very own mailbox by air mail.
