Hi, I have been searching for the complete reference manual of MS-DOS 5.0. I saw one in Internet Archive, but it's not complete.

Please PM me if you have any information on where I can get this. Thank you.

Do you have the ISBN number? What company published it? Is it by Microsoft or a 3rd party?

Unicorn herding operations are proceeding, but all the totes of hens teeth and barrels of rocking horse poop give them plenty of hiding spots.

This came bundled with the licensed copy of MS-DOS my family received when we purchased our first computer, AFAICR .

This is a user guide and command reference . It includes no API documentation or programming reference material .

See : https://archive.org/details/microsoftmsdosu00micr I think it can be virtually loaned .

P.S. Sorry about crappy photos, I am too tired to be more pedantic .

I have one, published by BEC. I learned DOS from it when I was a kid.

Looking around it seems many similar copies from various distributors are available on the forbidden website.
