O'Reilly & Associates is pleased to announce availability of a new Nutshell Handbook, DOS Meets UNIX, by Dale Dougherty and Tim O'Reilly. This handbook describes methods for integrating DOS and UNIX systems so that users can get the best of both worlds. In particular, it describes the new programs that let DOS and UNIX coexist on 386-based systems. Contents include: * DOS, UNIX and Departmental Computing - why DOS and UNIX? * Integrating DOS and UNIX - an overview of products and approaches * Moving from DOS to UNIX - an introduction to UNIX for DOS users * PC-Interface: the PC in a Larger Context - UNIX systems as file and print servers for PCs * DOS Under UNIX: Hardware Issues - why it isn't easy to run DOS and UNIX concurrently, even on a 386 * Merge and VP/ix: The Virtual DOS Environment * Merge and VP/ix: Running DOS Programs from UNIX * Where to Buy This book is a little different than our previous handbooks, which have all been hands-on problem-solving kinds of books. While this book does contain many examples of how various programs work, it is principally designed to aid people in understanding what's available out there, rather than to apply what they've already got. 134 pages; $15; ISBN: 0-937175-21-8 For more information, or to be on a mailing list to receive our quarterly newsletter featuring new titles, contact: Jill Berlin O'Reilly & Associates, Inc., Publishers of Nutshell Handbooks 981 Chestnut Street, Newton, MA 02164 (800) 338-NUTS or (617) 527-4210 (in MA) UUCP: uunet!ora!nuts ARPA: nuts@ora.uu.net -- Tim O'Reilly (617) 527-4210 O'Reilly & Associates, Inc., Publishers of Nutshell Handbooks 981 Chestnut Street, Newton, MA 02164 UUCP: uunet!ora!tim ARPA: tim@ora.uu.net
