Review title: arrogant writing style and incorrect information.
Product review: The writing style talks down to the reader.The book focuses on the MS/DOS architecture. Why isn't it titled as such?I stopped reading after the author commented that many programmers are afraid to use functions that return pointers. He then went on to give an example of how to use them. It was wrong!Reference page 111 of the SECOND EDITION. The "combine()" function returns a pointer to a local variable which is out of scope when it is dereferenced.I would have returned the book but unfortunately it came with a disk which I had prematurely ripped out!I doubt ant AP books will be finding a space on my bookshelf.
