- This version of DOSREF is a bit different from the older shareware
- versions. As you may have noticed, I'm now promoting it as a "demo"
- of the real thing. You're welcome to use this copy of DOSREF with
- my compliments - no need to feel guilty. Hey, I'm a nice guy. <grin>
-
- This "demo" version has quite a bit more detail than the previous
- 2.3c version. You get nine chapters. In these chapters, you now get
- 95% of the stuff in the full super-whoopie paid-for version's equivalent
- chapters. I left out some of the really esoteric or bulky stuff to keep
- the file size down, but you have a majority of what you need to program
- with, plus a ton of wierdo little facts that ought to keep you amused for
- hours on end.
-
- Now, the object of this is to get you to buy the "real" DOSREF, of course.
- If you look in the CONTENTS file, you'll see there's all sorts of other
- stuff in the full version, as minutely detailed as what you just got.
-
- You get even more of the type of stuff you have in this archive, plus
- over two megabytes of MORE stuff - XMS, EMS, VCPI, sound cards, APIs for
- 386 Multiware, Alloy NTNX, VMiX/386, Concurrent DOS/386 (most of which
- applies to DR-Multiuser-DOS), Multi-DOS PLUS, NDIS networking, a complete
- functioning TSR disk formatter with source to use as an example for writing
- TSRs, or just yank for formatter code for your own programs. You get dozens
- of appendices covering everything from sound board file formats to address
- lists. Plus anything else I've added since this archive went out.
-
- You can compare DOSREF against the stuff on the shelves at B.Dalton or
- Waldenbooks, then look at what those Johnny-come-lately references COST.
- Now, for only $25 you could get the full DOSREF and have as much info as
- you could get from a whole shelf-full of books. How can you beat a deal
- like that?
-
-
- Either way, please use and enjoy this demo copy of DOSREF.
