mozek, After the book was published, none, as long as the developer read the book or hacked MS-DOS. Before the book, the internal multi-tasking calls plus others that were never published by MSFT. I'm not sure you get the point. If the vendor doesn't properly document the OS, which MSFT did not do with MS-DOS, there is no reliable way to write applications to the OS that will take advantage of all its capabilities. I don't think I have to explain to you why that is. Why would an OS vendor keep the information secret, mozek??? What possible purpose would it serve, other than to enhance its place in the application market.
