Ahem. I'm the author of said book, and my company publishes it. I wouldn't
say it is oriented towards DOS people particularly (i.e., it's not written
in the form "where in DOS you do this, in QNX you should do this...",
partly because the correspondence would be so poor). I prefer to target it
towards experienced programmers who 1) don't know QNX and 2) don't know
how to design for message-based systems. Of course, really intensive
real-time systems design is a topic on its own, and beyond the scope of 
the book.

(Forgive me if that was too commercial.)
