Does anyone here have a copy of the second edition of "Writing DOS
Device Drivers in C"?
The first edition is trivial to find, but the second is impossible, it
seems. It hasn't been digitized AFAIK and I can't find it for sale
anywhere. Furthermore, I can't even find it to borrow via WorldCat.
Hell, I even e-mailed Clovis Tondo and he said that he doesn't have a
copy of it either!
Thanks,

It’s DOS, how much would have changed between the 1st and 2nd ed’s?

Enough to necessitate a second book. The first edition was released in
1990 and second was released in 1999(!).

Are you sure it was published? The US Copyright office has a
registration for the 1990 edition, and a bunch of Tondo's other books,
but not a second edition of that book.
It would be quite strange for Prentice Hall not to register the
copyright on a book they'd published.
On the third hand, the entry for the 1990 edition says "Edition: 4th ed." so who knows
what's going on. You can find a version of that book at the Internet Archive.
Peter's, Anthony's and John's messages all read OK here (albeit using a fancy single quote, instead of an actual apostrophe) it's your message that's the first which appears mangled here ...

Peter's and Anthony's messages both have Content-Type headers
declaring UTF-8 content, John's lacks a Content-Type header which is
probably the root cause here.

So my Gnus v5.13 interpreted it as ASCII because his message didn't tell
