Description:The promise of CD-ROM is fast access to huge volumes of information. Microsoft has taken another step toward the fulfillment of that promise with the release of Microsoft Programmer's Library. which packs more than 20,000 pages of reference material and sample code onto a single CD. Programmer's Library includes 48 books and technical manuals on Microsoft operating systems and languages. The information ranges from quick reference help to more-in-depth material, grouped into nine categories: MS-OS/2 [before the IBM-Microsoft split], Windows, MS-DOS, C, BASIC, Macro Assembler [MASM], Pascal, FORTRAN, and hardware. Among the several books included are Inside OS/2, by Gordon Letwin, and Programming Windows, by PC Magazine contributing editor Charles Petzold. The library's 1,200 sample programs would require 20 floppy disks to store them. All of the material in Programmer's Library can be accessed from inside a text editor or word processor and copied directly into programs or documents. When the library is popped up within a text editor or word processor, the word at the cursor can be automatically searched on. The library can also be run as a standalone program and is extensively cross-referenced. List Price: Microsoft Programmer's Library, $395 through December 1988.

This image is in the original, early CD-ROM disk format.
You can mount this ISO image in DOSBox as a CD-ROM drive (e.g. as E:).
The you can run setup and install the MSL on e.g. drive D:
It is installed as a TSR, popping up with [ALT]+[LEFT-SHIFT]
