Title: Has anyone scanned the ABasiC user manual
Post by: mark_k on February 05, 2012, 03:43:12 PM

Hi,

Has anyone scanned their copy of the Metacomco ABasiC user guide? ABasiC came with the first Amiga 1000s before being replaced later on by AmigaBASIC.

If not, I might take the time to scan (or at least take pictures of each page of) my copy. But I don't want to bother if it's already available online somewhere.

Okay, so I had a very boring time taking pictures of each page of my ABasiC manual! :)

You can get it here: File name: ABasiC_manual_mark_k.zip File size: 62.25 MB (http://www.fileserve.com/file/j98VfEW/ABasiC_manual_mark_k.zip)

The quality is pretty poor, but I don't have a scanner with automatic document feeder so it was quicker to use the camera on my old phone. I figure poor quality but legible is better than no online copy at all.

If you have a copy of the ABasiC manual which contains more pages or errata sheets, please let me know.

For viewing the images, I got good results using Evince under Linux. Rename the .zip file to end in .cbz and load into Evince.

I hope this is useful for anyone who wants to play/experiment with ABasiC!
