I'm looking for recommendations for good reference books on DOS.
Specifically I'm looking for books that are designed for programmers
who are familiar with other operating systems but are new to DOS.
The book(s) should go beyond a dry recitation of DOS commands (I can
get that from the user manual);  what I really need is to be able to
get a feel for how to think in DOS.

I'm a software engineer with many years of experience in Unix and C,
but little knowledge of DOS.  So far the books I've found seem to be
geared either towards the rank beginner or towards clever but non-portable
patches. 

Thanks in advance!
