- by: Joel Ellis Rea
-
-
- A while back, I described COMAL and
-
- announced that we would be having a
-
- regular feature called the 'COMAL Cor-
-
- ner' in each issue of LOADSTAR. I
-
- told you a bit about the history of
-
- the language that is so popular in
-
- Europe (actually replacing BASIC in
-
- Denmark and some other countries!) and
-
- gaining such ground here in America
-
- that whole user groups are forming
-
- that are dedicated to Commodore
-
- implementations of COMAL.
-
- This month in COMAL Corner, I will
-
- begin my Tutorial series.
-
- WE INTERRUPT THIS ARTICLE TO BRING
-
- YOU AN IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT! As of
-
- this issue, the Loadstar division of
-
- Softdisk Incorporated is now an offi-
-
- cial distributor of COMAL 0.14! That
-
- means that all ye loyal Loadstar
-
- subscribers can obtain this simple but
-
- fascinating language for only $9.95!!
-
- This is the COMAL 0.14 Sampler Disk,
-
- which contains the language itself,
-
- plus demonstrations, utilities and
-
- other sample programs! We now return
-
- you to your regularly scheduled, er,
-
- program. . . .
-
- This month's COMAL Corner consists
-
- of the following:
-
-
- COMAL CORNER #6 (you're reading it
- right now)
-
- and most importantly,
-
- a BASIC program called 'COMAL
-
- TUTOR'. It assumes NO knowledge of
-
- computers in general or the C-64 in
-
- particular except how to LOAD and RUN
-
- a program from disk. (You already
-
- know how to do that or you wouldn't be
-
- running Loadstar!) You can access the
-
- Tutorial program from this article.
-
- That about wraps it up for this
-
- installment of the COMAL Corner. Be
-
- here next issue for more information
-
- on the wonderful language of COMAL.

-
- and COMAL-related articles via the
-
