BBC BASIC Reference

Built in to every version of RISC OS, BBC BASIC remains the goto language for programs large and small. This Guide is a fully revised and updated reference text detailing all of the keywords, totalling an extensive 520 pages with the following major changes:

  • Keyword changes, such as DIM LOCAL and COLOUR
  • Graphics system description for post-Archimedes capabilities
  • Revised examples
  • Expanded tables of keyboard and mode specifications
  • Details of BASICVFP, which harnesses some of the power of the Vector Floating Point unit in more recent ARM processors to chew through floating point calculations at unprecedented speeds

as well as corrections to various mistakes in the original text.
