[comp.newprod] New Nutshell Handbook on Shared DOS/UNIX Environments

tim@ora.UUCP (Tim O'Reilly) (06/03/88)

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
