"first basic" is made by hisoft, but "hisoft basic" isn't "first basic" :lol:

I have the "first basic" & manual, it sux anyway. "hisoft basic V1 & V2" came out afterwards. I wrote gembench and flashyclock software in hisoftbasic V2, but I only have V1 manual :( So its missing a lot of commands.

Ok no worries.

That PDF probably came from here to start with. Someone scanned it for me ages ago.

Ah, sorry. I didn't know that.

Still looking :)

The readme on the floppy says 1.23 :)

Not sure what that is. My manual is a ring bound folder...


It's not version 2 as lots of commands are missing in version 1 manual.
