%T   "UNIX For The MS-DOS User"
 
For those who know MS-DOS well, this is an excellent, quick guide to getting
started with UNIX.  It starts with the basics, and progresses to areas where
DOS has no related functions.  The material can be terse at times, and ground
is covered quite quickly, but the persistent user should have no trouble.
 
For those who know MS-DOS at a cursory level, the beginning chapters provide
the equivalent UNIX commands for those that you do know in MS-DOS.  Novice
users could proceed until they feel uncomfortable, and save the remaining
material for further exploration at a later time.
 
For those familiar with computers, but not with MS-DOS, the DOS content is
neither necessary nor intrusive.  It serves primarily as an introduction and
example, or counter-example, of the UNIX command.  However, because the book
assumes a knowledge of MS-DOS, most functions receive only minimal explanation.
 
For those migrating from DOS to UNIX, or for DOS users needing some
introduction to the UNIX-laden Internet, a good choice.
