DOS Users Master BASIC and Gain Maximum Programming Power with
Comprehensive Tutorial/Reference

BLUE RIDGE SUMMIT, PA--BASICs for DOS is ideal for beginners who want to
learn the art of programming, but it will also prove very useful for
experienced BASIC users who are ready to move on to DOS 5.0's Microsoft
QuickBASIC.

In this hands-on guide, Gary Cornell explains the structured programming
techniques necessary for both good BASIC style and as a basis for working
with high-level languages such as C, Pascal, and Assembler. Inside BASICs
for DOS, readers will find complete coverage of QuickBASIC, GW-BASIC, and
BASICA, as well as more than 150 programs and numerous screen
illustrations that show them how to: 

* Use BASIC commands and functions
* Perform calculations 
* Manipulate strings and variables
* Write error-free program loops 
* Work with procedures and subroutines
* Use lists, arrays, and records 
* Test and debug programs 
* Perform complex recursions
* Control screens and sound
* Create graphics

In addition, Cornell provides details on advanced topics barely touched
upon in other DOS books, including how to integrate batch files in BASIC,
index and sort using binary trees, protect files with simple cryptography,
and work with curves and fractals. BASICs for DOS also features a special
coupon offer for a disk containing all of the program listings in the
book.
