  and structures
* An explanation of device drivers
* A description of the function interfaces for MS-DOS extensions,
  such as print spooling, national language support, and task
  switching

Included in the appendixes are code-page tables for the six pages of code
included with MS-DOS, keys and key combinations that generate the extended
key codes, a list of error values returned by MS-DOS system functions, and
code that client programs can use to ensure successful switching between
tasks. A comprehensive index provides quick access to a wealth of
information on various MS-DOS topics.
