Computer manuals have a reputation for being bulky, full of "techno-babble", hard to use & understand, but DOS 5 COMMANDER cuts clear through the usual BS & ushers a new approach to computer books. This concise manual for the exciting new version 5 of MS-DOS completely replaces some 600 pages of the manufacturer's documentation, without dropping any relevant details. For seasoned users the book is a streamlined reference to all fine points of DOS. Beginners will find the jargon-free presentation easy to understand. Many ingenious comments & hints beyond the usual "need-to-know" basics contribute to an interesting reading experience. The COMMANDER pays special attention to the user's practical needs. The book stays open flat even when propped up vertically, leaving hands free to use the keyboard. Uniform page layout with bold headings expediates search for information. Each topic is self-contained on one page or on facing pages, & thus can be scanned at a glance without fumbling back & forth. The manual is written by Chris Fara, an author of software & books praised for their simple & logical style: "Somehow Chris manages to bring the subject down to earth..in clear, concise &...easy to understand English".Fara, Christopher is the author of 'DOS 5 Commander Complete MS-DOS Version 5 in Plain English' with ISBN 9781880099117 and ISBN 188009911X.
