Publisher's Synopsis
QuickBASIC is a structured language - looping constructs make it powerful for serious programming. This book describes the use of microsoft QuickBASIC for writing better programs for the IBM-PC and compatibles. It also shows how to program in modern fashion without reference to preconceptions of original BASIC. The book is written for the technical user, especially physical scientists, engineers and students who use mathematical operations in their programs. Examples are laid out in block- structured fashion with indentation and comments. In addition, the author treats graphs in Basic on the IBM-PC and on the PS/2; covers EGA and VGA monitors and how to program for them; illustrates the use of sophisticated debugging facilities found in QuickBASIC with problems and solutions; provides overview of assembly language for the 8086 series of microprocessor; and illustrates how simple assembly language routines can be interfaced to QuickBASIC programs.
