- "Programmer's Technical Reference for MSDOS and the IBM PC"
- *****************************
-
-
- The "Tech Ref", as it is affectionately known, is not just another list of
- interrupts. It is a for-real programmer's guide, packed with the details real
- programmers need. The Tech Ref will be going into print in Europe in early
- 1990, but take note - the hardcopy version is less than a third the size of
- the current disk-based text.
-
- The TechRef can go along with you from machine to machine without the need
- for hauling reference books around. It's great for consultants or travelling
- programmers.
-
- You can use Vern Buerg's LIST.COM to view and clip text from the Reference,
- or cut and paste with DesQview or SideKick. Use your string search functions
- to find text. After a short time with the Tech Ref you'll probably never want
- to use a printed manual again.
