The Waite Group S Tricks Of The Hypertalk Masters

This volume represents the distillation of 25 person years worth of MS-DOS study. It reveals tips, tricks, techniques, undocumented features, and investigations into the most popular disk operating system in the world. Written for the power user but also useful to programmers, the book examines many hidden features of the MS-DOS operating system, clears up poorly documented methods, and provides little-known facts and numerous ways to increase the performance of MS-DOS. Organized for easy reference, this is a must-have.

Revised and updated edition (1st ed. was 1986) now covers DOS 3.2 and DOS 4, and adds information about the newer 80386 machines, the PS/2 Micro Channel machine, new disk formats, the VGA graphics adapter, and the LIM EMS 4.0 standard for expanded memory capacity.

Addressing problems in physics, chemistry, materials science, and computer science, Graphics and Animation in Surface Science demonstrates how graphics and animation can be used as integral tools for understanding molecular processes in science. The book presents several different types of graphics of varying sophistication, and shows how difficult aspects of physical problems can be modeled and understood using graphical simulations. It introduces terminology where applicable, explores a wide variety of applications, and illustrates some results in an eight-page color section. Requiring only a modest amount of computing knowledge, the book includes abundant references for further reading with contact names and addresses that enable readers to obtain software to reproduce the results described in the text.
