New Guide Shows PC Users How to Write Time-Saving Batch Files
Updated to cover DOS 6

BLUE RIDGE SUMMIT, PA--Batch Files and Beyond: Your Path to PC Power is the
book for anyone who wants to achieve DOS "guru-hood." Whatever their level
of skill, readers can turn to this outstanding guide not only for
practical tips on customizing their PC systems, but also for an
eye-opening introduction to the hidden powers of DOS.

Dan Gookin takes readers beyond the basic batch file routines found in
other DOS books, allowing them to use what they already know about DOS to
create sophisticated batch files and desktop utilities. With Gookin's
clear, lighthearted instruction, DOS users can write time-saving batch
files for almost any occasion:

* Managing hard disks 
* Creating custom menu-driven interfaces 
* Modifying displays and work environments 
* Setting system parameters and variables 
* Launching applications automatically 
* Customizing AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS

Even if it focused only on DOS batch file techniques, this book would still
be the most advanced-level guide on the subject. But Gookin adds lots of
valuable extras, including customizable start-up files; macros for
WordPerfect, Lotus 1-2-3, and DESQview; batch files and macros for Windows
3.1; and tips on using BASIC, EBLplus, Builder, Beyond*Bat, Norton Batch
Builder, and other batch file extenders.

Features a complete disk library of plug-in batch file programs
