Files for QBasic Programming Book.....

[Space_Ghost]

I was going to propose "archive-dot-org" but I don't know if a given book offered there comes with a cover disc. If it does then it could be damaged. Especially something that is 40 years old like a 5-1/4-inch floppy disk. But you might know the book comes with the printed source code which should be good enough, but not as fun having to type it in.

Hmmmm wait a minute, 5-1/4-inch floppy disk for a book published in 1993?! ROFLMAO.

Usually on that site only the books are offered, usually scanned into PDF format. Otherwise you might have to rent which sucks and that place isn't one of the first ones that comes to my mind to buy something. Neither does "ebay" but it could be even worse...

The book is easily available on many sites.  I have ordered it.  The issue is that getting the floppy is hit-or-miss and the sites are not reliable about stating the actual status of the floppy with the book.  I have bought books in this era with 5 1/4 floppies and they actually worked.  It appears that the modules as the book calls the .bas files are also in the text and can be typed in.  If you look at the Google Book preview it is a very advanced book (see the TOC).  Of course I use MATLAB, Mathematica, and Maple for such calcs today, but what fun is that?  I recommend Abe Books for older/used books...they have been fast, reasonable, and reliable.  I will post how the book came and any thoughts on it.  

Thanks to all those that offered constructive feedback. Cheers.
