 Definatly not worth buying April 23, 2001

I had to use this book for a beginning dos class. This book is extremely poorly written and over explains everything. The author spends entire chapters explaining each command including the very simple and basic commands and fails to thoroughly explain the more complex commands. The activities included are very vague and disorganized. I had already had an extremely good understanding of dos and I frequently had trouble understanding what the activities at the end of each chapter were asking me to do. If you want to learn do I do not recomend this book.

I am currently a student @ texas state technical college earning a degree in CNS. we use this book in class but is not quite the book it is chalked up to be. it is ironic the only 5 star reviews seem to be from the author herself. this book is helpful in some ways but not many.

I just wanted you to know that I have recently graduated from Robert Morris college with an associates in Computer science and not one class was on DOS. The students argued with the administration about the need but they claimed there was no need. Since then I have gone over to the local community college, College of Dupage, and bought their book that they use for their Dos beginning class. it is your book and I am learning so much about the fundamentals of OS and dos. Thank you for the great book. I have given your web site and name of your dos book to all my fellow classmates. You not only go over the material plenty of times buy at the end of each chapter you make us reuse the commands we have learned. The summary of the chapter is also great. It reviews what you taught in the chapter Thank you again Janice P.s. do you have an intermediate or advance dos. I would love to buy it.

Dear Ms. Gillay and Peat, I am presently enrolled in a class called DOS Mgt. at Lansing Com. College in Lansing, MI. I can't say I was particularly looking forward to it as I do not have a computer related background (a BFA in furniture design, in fact). In this class we use your Window's User's Guide to DOS book. NEVER have I had the great pleasure of reading such a comprehensive, thorough, well thought-out text in my 51 years. Absolutely incredible! In this class, we start at chapter 10 (batch files) and I only have a slight handle on basic DOS, but your book been so totally idiot-proof and clearly thought out that I was actually excited doing the exercises and even felt confident enough to stray a little and add a trick or two. I can't believe it. I'm looking forward to backtracking and reading the first 9 chapters as time allows. Anyway, I just wanted to extend my congratulations and thanks on producing such an excellent text. The semester has just started and I only hope our instructor is near as good. All the best in future endeavors. This one is a TEN! Paul

Dear Carolyn Gillay, I am a college student at a small community college in Roseburg, Oregon. I am currently reading/using your book Windows User's Guide to DOS- Using the Command Line in Windows 95/98. I wanted to commend you on an excellent job you and your colleagues did on this book. I am taking the 2 year CIS program at Umpqua Community College, and so far this book has been one of my favorites! It is so easy to follow and use. I also read/used your Windows 95 book last term, another EXCELLENT book! I am learning a great deal from these books and having fun at it too! I look forward to reading more of your excellent books. Thank you again for making this subject so easy to understand and follow. Sincerely, Shelley Hagberg
