Review:
I'm not sure that I could go along with "complete", but then, very few people
will share my specialized fields of interest. For the adventurous Mac user,
this is not only an excellent introduction, but a valuable reference which will
be useful for a long time to come.
The book concentrates almost exclusively on the interface aspects of the
Macintosh system. An initial section describes the operation of ResEdit,
itself. Three parts then look at user level resource editing. A final part
five discusses the uses of ResEdit for the programmer.
ResEdit can make powerful changes to the system, and many Mac users see it as a
dangerous tool. The book repeatedly advises to perform experiments on copies
of files and resources. The authors a...

Book descriptionThe move to Microsoft Windows NT is well under way. And for everyone who creates and administers a Windows NT Server network, here's the perfect answer book-straightforward, comprehensive, and all in one easy-access volume. MICROSOFT WINDOWS NT SERVER 4.0 is also ideal for IS managers, power users, and network administrators in small to medium-size companies that are outgrowing their peer-to-peer networks. Here's the specific information readers need to design and implement Windows NT as an enterprise server-for example, the how and why of implementing multiple domains and trust relationships. It's hands-on information and not just theory. And it's going to sell as widely as Windows NT itself.

Review:
Endrijonas is a writer and reporter, so I had relatively low expectations for
the book. In fact, though, the contributions of Ross Greenberg and Aryeh
Goretsky as advisors must have had considerable influence, since there are a
number of reasons to prefer this book over the virus books by non-specialists.
Although there is enough bad information to make the book unreliable, there is
also a good deal of good information. In addition, the author looked at more
than one or two antiviral programs when reviewing. (The reviews themselves
are, unfortunately, little more than reproductions of the documentation. The
discussion of ViruCide, which immediately follows that of VirusScan, does not
note that both programs are functionally identica...

Review:
Ah, the dream of every support person. Write a book about your system, so that
the users can learn everything they need to know about it, and they will stop
calling with stupid questions. Sorry, Jim, the dumb ones won't read this, and
they'll still keep calling. But the reasonably intelligent ones will rise up
and call you blessed.
This is one terrific UNIX guide. I don't use SCO, but I'm still tempted to
keep it on my shelf anyway. This is for those who both want to understand and
to use the system. It provides a thorough background, not only to SCO UNIX but
also to computers in general. Mohr gives the reasons behind, the how to, and
the likely traps and misunderstandings. The explanations are not only
readable, but leavened wi...
