The LUCXByyA/LUCXByyB files are the
total collection of the columns on
Extended Basic written by Lucie
Dorais and published in the Ottawa
Users' Group NEWSLETTER from
1987 to 1994, minus the listings,
plus the programs that were listed.
 
For each year volume, there are two
archived files, A and B; each de-
archives to a SSSD disk, so one year
fits a DSSD disk.
 
The LOAD programs will allow you to run
the programs or quickly read the
tutorials on screen.  You need the
FORMATTER to print the texts.  If you
want to print all the texts for one
year at once, use the files BATCH.
 
The LOAD and BATCH files for each
volume work this way (file = LOAD
or BATCH):
 
          use on     found in half
          ---------- -------------
file       DSSD            A
file/SS1   SSSD disk A     A
file/SS2   SSSD disk B     B
 (rename file/SSn to file)
 
In addition, each A half has a *README
file which contains useful information
for that year files.
 
I want to keep the copyright on the
texts, but since I never put any
copyright on the programs when they
were first published, I cannot do it
now... so feel free to play with them,
modify them, since they were done with
the idea that you could learn from
them.
