Basic V for the Acorn Archimedes - in print.. Large print..
David Bradforth
title to be made available through MagCloud. Scaled up from its original A5
to American Letter size, it's printed in a magazine form then dispatched by
MagCloud to anywhere in the US and UK.
This book provides a practical guide to programming in BASIC V on the Acorn
Archimedes. Assuming a familiarity with the BBC BASIC language in general,
it describes the many new commands offered by BASIC V, already acclaimed as
one of the best and most structured versions of the language on any micro.
An essential aid for all Archimedes users, this book will also appeal to
existing BBC BASIC users who wish to be conversant with new features of
BASIC V. Topics covered include:
Using the colour palette - WHILE, IF and CASE - Use of mouse and pointer -
Local error handling - Operations and String Handling - The Assembler -
Control Structures - Matrix Operations - Functions and Procedures - Extended
graphics commands - Sound - Programming hints & tips
If you already have this book in A5 format: it's the same book, just in a
larger form so there's possibly no reason to buy it again.
Price through MagCloud is $25. As with the First steps with RISC OS book,
you can also download it for free viewing on the iPad.
Visit http://alligatamedia.magcloud.com/ for details.
I have three copies of the original print run available at GBP5.99 each. Email
me for details.
Dave Holden has an HTML version available via the APDL website for GBP2.50.
The PDF version is also available through myself at the same price.
Regards
David
