!BasicProg/!Help
This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

Back to Basics: Learning to Program in Basic By David Matthewman Run this option to open a directory containing the example Basic programs from the tenth part of the series on learning to program in Basic. This month we look at DATA statements, and use them to create a very simple quiz. You are encouraged to copy and modify the programs in this section. Perhaps you could make them ask different questions, or accept answers in upper and lower case. For more information, see the article on page 91 in the magazine. � Copyright Acorn User 1994
