Thanks to chillers for making these available to be scanned. Part 1 scanned at 600dpi while Part 2 scanned at 300dpi (about 2 years ago), all pages were cleaned up and converted to a searchable PDF as usual. Both are A4 in size and 32 pages long.
These were produced by Your Computer magazine and included as attachments in their May & June 1986 issues of the Magazine. They explain the use and functions of one of the most popular computer language from back in the 70's and 80's, Microsoft BASIC. Microsoft Basic is in-built in the System 80 and available on disk based Microbees as MBASIC as well as other computers like the Commodore PET and most other CP/M based computers. They were first published in Your Computer in instalments from the September/October 1981 issue to the April 1983 issue, written by Les Bell. These are a compilation of the monthly issues installments with Part 1 contains the first 7 installments while Part 2 contains the remaining 9 installments. So, if your "into" Basic, these are useful articles to help you on your way. There are lots of cartoons included as per the original installments.
So in the Public Repository in the Magazines/Your_Computer folder we placed
