DOS DAYS OF SUMMER BEGIN FOR PROGRAMMERS WITH RELEASE OF NEW PROGRAMMER'S,
COOKBOOK

Berkeley, CA, June 13, 1994 -- Just when DOS programmers think they know it
all, Osborne/McGraw-Hill publishes BYTE's DOS Programmer's Cookbook, a
compendium of radical programming tips, inspired hacks (understood to be
amazingly clever and/or useful blocks of code), and great shareware not
found anywhere else.

BYTE's DOS Programmer's Cookbook redefines the otherwise stale world of DOS
programming and shows that DOS still has quite a bit of life in it yet.
Experts Craig Menefee, Lenny Bailes, and Nick Anis have spent hundreds of
hours looking for the best DOS shareware, freeware, utilities, and code
found on bulletin boards, online services, and the Internet so that
readers can spend their time programming, not researching. BYTE's DOS
Programmer's Cookbook analyzes and discusses this information so
programmers can start using it immediately.

According to the authors, there's no need for any programmer to pay big
bucks for DOS programming tools when there are so many excellent low-cost
and free ones available. With BYTE's DOS Programmer's Cookbook, readers
will 

** Get instant access to utilities, hacks, programming resources, and
sample code to increase productivity. 

** Discover system level tips and interrupt lists. 

** Take advantage of fully documented assembly language extensions and
routines, as well as fully commented C and C++ code.

A CD-ROM included with the book has most shareware, freeware, batch files,
and memory-resident programs covered in the book. It also has utilities
coded in C, C++, and assembler, making this book an all-in-one resource.

Filled with insightful quotations and insider tips, BYTE's DOS Programmer's
Cookbook provides the tools needed by DOS programmers to get their coding
on the edge.

BYTE's DOS Programmer's Cookbook is soft cover, 304 pages, and has examples
and illustrations throughout. Included is one CD-ROM disk. Suggested
retail price: $34.95. ISBN: 0-07-882048-0. For orders only, phone (800)
