I am going to be programming in C on IBM PCs. I was wondering if anyone could reccomend a good book on programming in C for MSDOS machines. I already have a good working knowledge of C, so mostly what I'm interested in is any sort of guide for use of C with DOS and any tricks or tips that might be about. I believe I will be using Microsoft C. Any help would be appreciated...Thanks! -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Jon Nadelberg - - aeusejvn@csunb.csun.edu - ------------------------------------------------------------------------

I would recommend "The Microsoft C Bible" by the Waite Group.

If you already know C, what you really need is a good introduction to the
MS-DOS environment. And although you'd never guess it from the title, Peter
Norton's "Programmer's Guide to the IBM PC" is almost exactly what you want;
the "so how do I access this feature from C?" questions should all be answered
in the compiler manual.
Wilton's "Programmer's Guide to IBM PC and PS/2 Video Systems" deals with
most of the other non-C questions frequently addressed to comp.lang.c.
