Laser BASIC

[Benjamin Williams]

Does anyone have a manual for Laser BASIC?  I remember not understanding it very well as a kid.  Would love to revisit it!

Hello,

Go to http://www.cpc-power.com and in the field "Recherche rapide" (fast search), type "Laser Basic".
You can find there a complete scanned manual of this tool.

Surprisingly, there is not the compiler on this site, although I was thinking to have given it to Kukulcan...
I suppose it will be available soon :-).

Perhaps interesting: (Found on Ebay Germany)

Sadly I cannot bet on it But when someone from this forum gets it, perhaps he could scan the book?

Hello,

The Laser compiler page has been updated on cpc-power. Now, you can find there the french and english documentation, OCRed as text files.

Enjoy !

Hello all,

I currently have a photocopied version of the laser basic manual.
I also have an old scanner which works from the parallel port, but have not installed the software (as i have misplaced the CD for it).

Try googling around for a twain driver (scanner)... just try the name of your scanner + driver

You can find the ocr'ed Laser Genius and Laser Basic Compiler manuals here in the wiki. Cpcmaniaco and I are working on the laser basic manual but it is a ton of pages to scan. I'm thinking on buying a scanner with document feed to ease the process. Anyone knows of one of these?

How big is it? If you would mail it to me I'd scan it myself (and *possibly* mail it back )...

Not much for one when it comes to Guday's    Though I love to welcome new Guests!

I currently have a photocopied version of the laser basic manual.

Really? I recall that the manual was printed on blue paper which was supposed to be very difficult to photocopy.

Thanks TomEtJerry for the link and everyone else for the warm welcome.  Nich - I do remember my manual being black on blue to make it difficult to photocopy and the scan I have downloaded is coloured this way.
