Color Computer 2 Expanded BASIC quick reference & 8 color graphics

[+hloberg]

Expanded BASIC by Tino Deleurgo is a series of packages that add some nice features to the Coco2.

I previously posted LINES on a Coco 2 with 8 colors using Tino Deleurgo's Expanded BASIC utility package. It utilized semi-graphic capabilities and is a rather nice package with lots of nice features.
Unfortunately the manual isn't that great. Tino uses a tutorial structure in the manual that makes it hard to find the commands and what they do.
So I wiped up a quick reference manual for myself and decided to post it.

Nice package, worth looking into.

Honestly, I have no idea. I'm new to the CoCo2 scene & came across this & was impressed with this package but found the manual poorly organized & hard to use so I made a quick ref for my own use & decided to post it. So, he could have been that person. If you have something from an old Australian mag I would love to see it.
