What is the best reference to DOS system calls? Is buying a Tech Ref manual for the appropriate MS-DOS version the best bet? Is anyone else out there publishing an appropriate document/book to cover this area? I'm looking for a 4.01 reference right now, but may want references to previous versions as well. --- glenn

Is anyone else The best source is the file maintained by Ralf Brown, and available on such sites as simtel20 and wuarchive.wustl.edu. It is regularly updated, and I believe the current version is INTER290.ZIP, in the PD1:<MSDOS.INFO> directory. It is over 200 k long! In my opinion this is better than the commercially available books. -- John Dudeck "I always ask them, How well do jdudeck@Polyslo.CalPoly.Edu you want it tested?"
