ABOUT
THIS
BOOK
This book
shows how
to read
and
write on a
disk. When
we
wrote
it, we
had three
different
groups of
people in
mind.
The
first group
includes
all
of
you
accomplished
Radio
Shack
programmers.
We
are
referring, of
course, to
those
of you
who
learned to
program by
reading
Getting
Started with
Color
BASIC
and Going
Ahead with
Extended
Color BASIC.
You'll
find Sections
I and II
of
this book
another
delightful
experience.
If you're espe-
cially
ambitious,
you'll also
enjoy Section
III.
How
about
those
of
you
who have
never
programmed
and
intend to
use
application
programs
written by
Radio
Shack
or someone
else?
You're the
second
group.
Read
Chapter
1,
"To Get
Started."
Then, if you're
interested in
and
want to take
full advantage
of your
disk
system,
go on
to Section
I, "The
Disk." You
don't
need
to know
anything
about
programming to
under-
stand
it.
If you
don't
belong to
either
of these two
groups, you
probably
already
know how
to
program disk
systems.
Read
Chapter
1 first to find
out how
to connect
your sys-
tem.
Then, go
straight to the
"BASIC
Summary"
at the
end of
the book.
Everything is
summarized
there with
page
number
references,
for the
things you
want to read
more
about.
