From Library Journal:

So you're not terrified of computers and DOS. You need a basic, step-by-step tutorial that won't insult your intelligence. And you need a glossary with all of the essential commands. Then Simpson's guide is the right tool for you. Simpson presents ten lessons, half designed for those new to DOS, the others for old hands. You learn how to optimize hard disk space, better use your memory, avoid trouble, and transfer files. Summaries explain what you should have learned, and if you're energetic, you're pointed to commands in the reference section for further technical details. The layout makes the book easy to use, though the screen dumps are a little too small. The index is comprehensive, and the inside covers provide pointers to commands and text for all sorts of basic DOS chores. Simpson's concise handbook will get you up to speed with DOS 6 quickly and painlessly and steer you clear of traps. --Edward J. Valauskas is a private library automation consultant in Chicago
