Re: Coding SuperBasic
Ok, I swear that I've not paid Dilwyn or Norman or anyone else to mention SSB. :-) SSB was first created in 1991. It just took some time to get some attention. I like to view SSB as a pre-processor, as the inspiration was the C preprocessor (include statements, conditional compilation, etc). For an ...

Perl 4 was ported years ago by Jonathan Hudson. I think he said porting Perl 5 would be much more difficult.

Re: Archive pdf
Derek,
Check my PDF's and see if you like them. They are created from .DOC files (which I can send you). Might have you a bit in scanning and OCRing.
