Self-Paced Training from Microsoft Press

Microsoft MS-DOS Step by Step
The Fastest Way to Learn MS-DOS 6.0 and 6.2

Whether you are training yourself, your company or your customers, it just
got easier with MICROSOFT MS-DOS STEP BY STEP--the updated book-and-disk
self-paced training package from Microsoft Press that covers both the
MS-DOS 6.0 and 6.2 operating systems.

This timesaving tool is a cost-effective alternative to traditional
classroom training. Beginners and upgraders benefit from the book's
modular approach to teaching MS-DOS version 6.0 and 6.2, newcomers to
MS-DOS will be amazed at how quickly and easily they'll be able to learn
the new productivity and performance tools and readers already familiar
with previous versions of the operating system can turn directly to the
information they need. The results are less downtime and higher
productivity because users can learn right at their own desks. It's the
perfect solution for today's on-the-go business people.

Each lesson takes about 30 to 40 minutes to complete and is generously
illustrated with realworld examples and fully integrated with the practice
files on disk. Readers can compare their results and track their progress
for each lesson. Each lesson builds on concepts presented in previous
lessons. Readers will learn to use Microsoft MS-DOS 6.0 and 6.2 to:

* Organize files into directories for quick access
* Copy multiple files onto a floppy disk--in a single step
* Use the MS-DOS Editor to create timesaving batch files
* Protect data and recover files accidentally lost
* Check a computer system for damaging viruses
* Double the size of a hard disk with DoubleSpace and protect 
  it with DoubleGuard

Appendixes cover some of the more advanced system-optimization features of
MS-DOS, including memory management and optimization of disk efficiency. A
glossary makes looking up terms easy, and the comprehensive index helps
students and instructors quickly find information on any topic in the
book.
