It contains the information you need for your programs, from the simplest exercises right though to complex business or game applications. The DRAGON PROGRAMMERS GUIDE is designed so that everyone from the beginning BASIC programmer to the professional experienced 6809 machine language programmer can get information to develop their own creative programs. At the same time this book shows you just what your DRAGON can do. This PROGRAMMERS GUIDE is not designed to teach the BASIC programming language to a beginner but as a reference to the DRAGON which includes the DRAGON's BASIC language. If you have not already done some programming, I suggest that you read the other book in this series, THE COMPLETE DRAGON BASIC COURSE, which will teach you the BASIC language. The DRAGON PROGRAMMER'S GUIDE is just that; a guide. Like most reference books, your ability to apply the information depends on your knowledge of the subject. In other words, if you are a novice programmer you will not be able to use all the facts and figures in this book until your knowledge and experience increases. What is in this book is a considerable amount of valuable programming reference material written in easy to read English with the programming jargon explained. On the other hand, the programming professional will find all the information needed to use the capabilities of the DRAGON 32 effectively. WHAT'S INCLUDED? • Complete "BASIC dictionary" includes the DRAGON BASIC language commands, statements and functions, a detailed description of each word and examples on how to use it, even the average time it takes to execute each one, useful for "time critical" game programs. • An introduction to machine code programming and how to use machine code programs from BASIC. • A complete listing of the 6809 instruction set. • The peripherals chapter (Chapter 5) shows how the DRAGON can communicate with the outside world via its ports. • Useful routines and memory locations you can access from both BASIC and machine code • BASIC and machine code routines for you to type in yourself which will make your program even more powerfuland user friendly. HOW TO USE THIS GUIDE Throughout this manual certain conventional notations are used to describe the syntax (programming sentence structure) of BASIC commands to show both the recuired and the optional parts for each keyword. The rules to use for interpreting statments' syntax are as follows: • BASIC keywords are shown in capital letters. They must appear where shown in the statement, entered and spelled exactly as shown. • Parameter names are shown enclosed in square brackets ( [ ] ) and these must be substituted with values. These can be either a single constant, a single variable name or any complex expression unless otherwisestated. • TIME - Most commands have a time quoted for them at the end of their description. This is the approximate average time that the command takes to run, measured in seconds. It is included to enable comparison of different ways of performing a certain routine when programming time­ critical programs. 2 CHAPTER 1 BASIC This chapter is a reference guide to the DRAGON 32's BASIC. If you are new to programming then I suggest that you use a book like THE COMPLETE DRAGON BASIC COURSE which is written for people who don't have a lot of BASIC programming experience. If you are a competent programmer but have not used BASIC before, this chapter is probably sufficient to teach you the basics of the BASIC language. CONSTANTS DRAGON BASIC has two fundamental types of constants; string and numeric. String constants are made up of alphanumeric characters and are enclosed in quotation marks ( "" ). A character string can be up to 255 characters long. A string which does not contain any characters is called a "null string". Examples: "DRAGON32 " "!!23!" "m" "" - null string Numeric constants can have three formats: a)DECIMAL These can contain the digits O through 9, a decimal point ( . ) and a sign ( +or-). Example: -2783.796, 1200 Decimal numbers can also be stored in EXPONENTIAL FORMAT and are automatically displayed in this format for numbers greater than1 ,000 million and less than 1 thousandth. The highest value the exponent can take is 38; actually the largest number is about 1.1 x 1038 • The mantissa has a maximum of 9 digits. Example: 9.76E13, -9.67E-2 1 b) HEXIDECIMAL These can contain the digits O through to 9, A through to F and a sign ( + or- ), where: A represents 1 0 B represents 11 C represents 12 3 D represents 13 E represents 14 F represents 15 "&H" is placed at the start of the number to indicate that it is in hexadecimal format. If a sign is specified then it must come before "&H". Example: &H1A00, -&H1A0F c) OCTAL These can contain 0 through to 7 and a sign ( + or - ). "&" or "& O" is placed at the start of the number to indicate that it is an octal number. If a sign is specified it must be placed at the very head of the number. Example: &0707, -&0707, &147 VARIABLES Again, the DRAGON has two typesof variables, string and numeric, the only difference being that all numeric variables are floating point. A variable. need not be declared unless it is an array with more than 10 elements. Variable names have the following rules: a) The first character must be alphabetic (A - Z) followed by alphanumeric characters. b) Up to 255 characters may be used as a name but only the first 2 are used to identify the variable. Therefore, SNAKE and SNAP are considered the same by the DRAGON. c) Variable names cannot start with a BASIC keyword. Examples:

INTRODUCTION EXMON II is an extremely sophisticated third generation machine code monitor for the BBC Micro and Electron. It incorporates a number of advanced features not to be found on EXMON I (i.e. the first release of EXMON), while omitting only one EXMON I feature -- the on-screen Help facility. This had to be sacrificed because of lack of space, and is replaced by a command summary card. Electron users should consult appendix (iii) at this point.

It was inspired by similar efforts that cover other vintage machines: classic system fonts from the Amiga, C64, Apple II, Mac, ZX Spectrum, Atari 8-bit/ST etc. are all celebrated. On the other hand, the IBM PC and its clones seem to get little love... except for that one VGA text mode font (which has been remade numerous times, to varying degrees of success). This collection is here to remedy that, and to bring you pixel-perfect remakes of various type styles from text-mode era PCs - in modern, multi-platform, Unicode-compatible TrueType form (plus straight bitmap versions). Although the goal is to make it a complete resource, the main focus is on hardware character sets: the kind that's located in a ROM chip on the system board or graphics card, which is what you'd see by default when working in text (or graphics) mode.
