This book provides a practical guide to programming in BBC BASIC on the Acorn Archimedes. Assuming a familiarity with the BBC BASIC language in general, it describes the many commands offered by BBC BASIC V, already acclaimed as one of the best and most structured versions of the language on any micro. An essential aid for all Archimedes users, this book will also appeal to existing BBC BASIC users who wish to become more conversant with later versions; including those running on the Raspberry Pi and BeagleBoard.

The Big Fish has turned his attention away from his travels and explores the world he has been travelling in. And it's a very strange one indeed. Sixty little separate offerings show how he copes with his existence and how he sees things in general, although he now needs glasses to actually see stuff. He's simply up to his fins with it all. You might accept that he's right on some things and wrong on others; which is fair enough. Although even if he is wrong, he may still be righter than you. You may come to the eventual conclusion that The Big Fish is simply out of his depth. But whatever...

Another adventure for The Big Fish and this time it's the Baltic. A first time visit to Germany, Russia, Sweden and Estonia; so there's sure to be plenty to get him riled, and not just his fellow passengers on the trip.
