PC Intern - the Programmer's Bible
New 5th Edition now shipping

May 16, 1995 -- Grand Rapids, Michigan. Today Abacus starts to ship PC
Intern - 5th Edition, a monumental book for programmers. More than 500,000
programmers worldwide rely on the in depth, precise programming and
technical information in earlier editions of PC Intern. Programmers often
call PC Intern the "Bible of Programming" and the "Encyclopedia of
Programming Know How". In this new edition, author Michael Tischer again
demonstrates his ability to make very complex subjects easy to
understand.

PC Intern contains up-to-date technical info about the PC, its
architecture, peripherals, components and makup. No area is left
uncovered. A very unique feature of PC Intern are the scores of practical
programming examples written in parallel in four different languages:
assembly language, C, Pascal and BASIC. These examples are carefully
explained and are contained on the companion CD-ROM, ready-to-use or
modify as required for your own programming projects.

Here's what the readers have to say about PC Intern:

"Worth every penny. Great book." - E.M. from Canada
"Leading kook in its class; software on disk is great."
 - R.D. from Georgia
"Excellent reference; clear, concise, accurate. "
 - D.B. from Massachusetts
"Best reference book I've got!" -- C.A. from California
"Most comprehensive subject info available." - R.S., Jr. from New York
"I'd strongly recommend to friends!" - S.L. from Australia

Just a few of the many topics covered in PC Intern are:

* multimedia hardware and software- sound cards and CD-ROM
  programming and API calls
* serial and parallel port programming
* using IRQs and interrupt controllers to your advantage
* programming the DMA controller for direct memory access

* dozens of other vital hardware and programming topics

Also brand new in this 5th Edition is the included CD-ROM. It contains the
full text of the book in an easy-to-browse hypertext form. This makes it
even easier to find the information that you need to know and helps
maintain the reputation of PC Intern as the next generation programming
reference.

PC Intern has a suggested price of $59.95 U.S. and includes a CD-ROM
($79.95 in Canada).
