New Book Helps Users Expand the Power of DOS Through Batch File Programming (Now updated for DOS 5) BLUE RIDGE SUMMIT, PA--Ideal for programmers and advanced DOS users, Windcrest's Enhanced Batch File Programming, Second Edition, explains how to build an entire library of batch files that takes full advantage of the latest DOS features, commercial batch file extenders, and utilities. After introducing readers to batch file programming basics, the book describes techniques for tapping into the hidden potential of DOS's eight major batch file commands. Plenty of practical examples illustrate how each of these eight "words" in the batch file programming language work, plus any quirks the user may encounter. Readers will also find source code and examples that show how to write custom batch file utilities using C and Assembly language, expand batch files through third party utilities, and use the powerful Builder program to create custom menus and program interfaces. Enhanced Batch File Programming, Second Edition also includes two disks containing all the batch file programs and source code listed in the book, more than a dozen practical hard disk and batch file utilities, and a demo version of Builder.
