Wanted - OSS Language Manuals (or scans)

[8bitclassics]

Thanks for looking!

 

Couple very popular items for sale on my site are the reproduction cartridges of OSS programming languages (Action!, Mac/65, BASIC XL/XE). But I get tons of requests for the manuals. I have found the Mac/65 manuals which was typed in as HTML, but have had no luck with the others. Does anybody have these available to loan me (or scan them and email me the images) so I can turn them into a document for others? If you mail them to me, I will take good care of them and scan them in quickly. Also looking for third party books on the same topics. Please PM if you have any.

 

Thanks,

 

Corey

Corey, I have Action, Basic XE, and Basic Xl. PM me your address if you want them sent. The Basics will be hard to scan due to being a bound book..the action is looseleaf. I have to ask that they will be free to all and able to be linked to and cross posted.

Here's one:

Action: Toolkit Manual

(PDF format)

Thanks for the replies, PM sent and will look at the other to see if it is the same. For some reason, I was never emailed on updates?

Finished for the most part the first manual in PDF:

 

BASIC XL Reference Manual

 

Can be downloaded at the following link:

For the most part, I think it came out rather nice, especially the ATASCII Appendix/Cross Reference. Changed the layout a bit, corrected spelling and other minor errors, added a table of contents/index, and also reproduced the front and back covers.

 

If anybody downloads and uses it, and finds any errors, let me know, will update the doc and up another PDF with the corrections.

 

Next challenge will be Action! followed by either BASIC XE or Mac/65 (hoping for Mac/65). I am hoping BASIC XE is for the most part the same as XL with a few updates, so won't take as long.

awesome job, this looks great!

Thanks! Started on the Action! manual, and has a bit of a different layout. I think I will reproduce it more like the BASIC XL manual as I like how it turned out.
