THE VOODOO BEAT GOES ON: DRUMMING UP NEWS ON DOS 6

Is it really magic that DOS 6 lets users double the space on their hard
disks? Is it some curious conjury that gives good old DOS the power of
modern client-server communications? "Why waste time trying to understand
theories and applications?" says voodoo queen Kay Nelson in the Second
Edition of her hit, Voodoo DOS (Ventana Press). "Use your time to learn
new and better ways to compute!"

Referring to DOS 6 as a "trickster's delight," Nelson sheds light on simple
techniques and traps that will make true DOS wizards out of the most timid
technophobes. New information emphasizes DOS 6's built-in compressing,
defragmenting and memory management features and highlights new CONFIG.SYS
and AUTOEXEC.BAT tricks like creating startup screens and setting up
different configurations on the same machine. Also included in Voodoo DOS,
Second Edition:

* New Utility Players: taking advantage of DOS's new built-ins, and more
including DoubleSpace, defragging, MemMaker, E-mail, and virus checking.

* DOS Shell Games: using the shell to set up program groups, switch between
programs, use keyboard shortcuts and otherwise get more from programs.

* Disk & Drive Magic: getting around boring day-to-day disk routines, using
the new Quick Format command, copying disks and dealing with hard disks.

* Do-it-yourself DOS: letting batch files and time-saving Doskey macros do
more of the work.

* Command sleight-of-hand: mastering new commands for DOS 6, including
DELTREE and MOVE; wildcard tips and traps; special symbols and commands;
DOS 6 Startup menu tips: using MENUITEM, MENUCOLOR, SUBMENU and
MENUDEFAULT; and (finally) turning NumLock off with NUMLOCK!

Kay Nelson is widely celebrated for her ability to turn techno-babble into
plain talk for everyday computer users. In addition to her Voodoo books
for Ventana (Voodoo DOS, Voodoo Windows, and Voodoo Mac) she has also
written instant references for all audiences (DOS Instant Reference and
WordPerfect Instant Reference, Sybex) and beginner books (The Little DOS 5
Book and The Little Windows Book, Peachpit Press).
