QL SuperBASIC - The Definitive Handbook

by Jan Jones

The Kindle edition of Jan Jones's classic, in-depth description of the Sinclair QL SuperBASIC language.

Published 30 years after the original, this edition has been retyped and reformatted by Jan Jones for today's technology. Not only does it contain an extremely detailed description of the QL SuperBASIC commands, and an explanation of the structure of the language, it provides a surprising - and nostalgic - window into the early days of super-micro-computers.

"Retyping 'QL SuperBASIC - The Definitive Handbook' was an eye-opening experience. I was truly astonished at how far we have advanced in the last thirty years without even realising it!" ... Jan Jones

About the author

A maths graduate, former computer programmer and erstwhile playgroup leader, Jan Jones writes contemporary romantic comedy, Regency romances, romantic suspense (often with a paranormal twist), cosy quirky mysteries, serials for women's magazines, short stories and poems. She won the RNA’s Joan Hessayon Award in 2005 with her debut novel Stage by Stage which came about through her experience of chaperoning her daughter during a touring production of Joseph and his Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat. When in Georgette Heyer territory, she uses her fascination with history to write a series of Newmarket Regencies (The Kydd Inheritance, Fair Deception, Fortunate Wager etc) set 200 years ago in her nearest town. As with all writers, elements of her life also inspire her many short stories for women’s magazines (one of which won the RNA Elizabeth Goudge award in 2002). This could be why she gets funny looks whenever she takes out her notebook during conversations in the bar. Jan organises the annual RNA conference and is firmly of the opinion that the Romantic Novelists' Association is the friendliest, most supportive organisation around.
