This is the CD-Rom version, the USB flash drive version is on another listing (see 'Seller's other items').


Now with 7 bonus books in an enlarged edition for 2024!


An astonishing collection of 80 BBC Micro and Electron programming books. Unlike any other collections on the ‘net these aren‘t just scans packaged up in PDF format but very high quality digitally remastered and debugged editions — and you can run a lot of the Basic programs on modern machines like the Raspberry Pi!


The CD ROM contains all books in RISC OS Impression/Easiwriter format (complete with fonts, Drawfiles etc.), two types PDF (fonts 'mapped‘ to the standard Postscript set and 'Type 1‘) plus HTML (all platforms) together with program directory (RISC OS) and disc images for use on emulators (all platforms).


Over 17,000 pages of high quality viewing (and printing) in popular formats for most computing platforms. All on one CD-Rom. Owners of MS Windows and Macintosh machines can access the books in Adobe PDF and HTML format. As can RISC OS users who also will benefit from the original, Impression and EasiWriter files.


Plus over 3,000 typed-in and debugged listings, ready to run. Many of these programs will work on modern RISC OS computers like the Raspberry Pi. That‘s because they‘re written in BBC Basic which has come built in to every Acorn or RISC machine since the BBC Model A. Programs will also run much faster on RISC OS, for example 3D graphics routines produce instantaneous results. 


The collection has been put together with BBC emulators in mind such as BeebIt which allow access to individual programs files at runtime. However, disc images of the programs are supplied for BBC emulators which do not have this facility or for writing to physical media for use with 'real' machines.
