I'd suggest Title: Undocumented DOS, 2nd edition Authors: Schulman, Brown, Maxey, Michels, Kyle Publisher: Addison-Wesley ISBN: 0-201-63287-X or (even better) Title: DOS Internals Author: Geoff Chappell Publisher: Addison-Wesley ISBN: 0-201-60835-9 The Schulman book is more glitzy and covers more ground. The Chappell book is probably more genuinely useful, and is really a wonderful piece of work (despite the subject matter :). It also happens to concentrate on using Microsoft C: see especially Chapter 6 ``Resident Programming in C''. -- Robert Nordier
