Description
GW-BASIC is a Microsoft product and a development of BASIC-A - the original PC version of the language. It is currently being supplied with many PC clones - Amstrad (200 and 2000 range), Schneider, Tandon, Samsung etc. This is a full introduction to programming in the language. It covers programming techniques in general and specific terms, and is illustrated with lots of short examples to focus on the way that commands and functions work. There are longer, usable programs to draw together techniques and ideas across a range of commands. The book concludes with a full command summary with examples to augment, or perhaps replace, any existing manual that the reader may have.
