Hi,

It could be seriously interesting to take a look at their BCPL compiler.

Imagine having BCPL on your CV...

If you have Windows .....

https://projects.exeter.ac.uk/BCPL/WindowsBCPL.htm alternatively, Martin Richards home page is at https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mr10/index.html - he invented it. Various links there including one for thebRaspberry Pi - http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/users/mr/bcpl4raspi.pdf.

That pdf is almost 800 pages long - probably best not to print it out! Lots of BCPL information there.

Hi,

Here is the OCRed Metacomco QL C manual, in LibreOffice and PDF formats.
QLC_Development_Kit_03-03-6.pdf.zip
Metacomco QLC Manual v3
(1.96 MiB) Downloaded 35 times

Since the Forum can not accept the size of the LibreOffice file, this is a link to a Mega Share area:
https://mega.nz/file/MWAmGKTK#IPQvhhrr2 ... b7d3mI_y94

My thanks go to the people who helped to proof read the manual and put up with the problems I may of introduced.

There maybe some ambiguities in the manual, which probably requires an experienced C programmer to help out.

Let me know any problems.


Regards,

Derek
