MS-DOS PAPERS PROPOSAL - MAY 1, 1987 (LAST POSTING NOV 11, 1986)

The Waite Group, a San Francisco based computer book developer, is looking
for contributing authors for a new book on MS-DOS, titled MS-DOS PAPERS.
This is a second call for writers for MS-DOS PAPERS. 

The MS-DOS PAPERS will be a collection of learning tutorials, much like
Waite Group's UNIX PAPERS (to be published June 1987). MS-DOS PAPERS will
provide insightful information on the MS-DOS operating system, revealing
the more hidden and obscure truths about MS-DOS in an interesting, easy to
read Waite Group format. It's contributed nature allows us to include
subjects that might not support a separate book, as well as subjects that
are on the cutting edge of MS-DOS technology. The audience level is
intermediate to advanced programmers, students, engineers, business people,
and anyone who wants the most up to date information about this popular
operating system. Examples are given in both MS-C 4.0 and MASM.

The book consists of TUTORIALS on topics that have never been adequately
discussed in the literature. These include inside BIOS, tips and
undocumented secrets, terminate and stay resident programming, advanced
MASM, debugging, new OS/2 features for MS-DOS programmers, and much more.

THE MS-DOS PAPERS OUTLINE

Follow is the current outline for the book. If you find any of these
appealing, let us know. We will send you a more detailed proposal, our
author terms letter and our style guide. If you have other suggestions for
topics we have missed you think are important, we'd like to hear them.
