MCS BASIC-52 REFERENCE MANUAL

This document was originally picked up from a net as a raw scanned material. I reformatted it to HTML, and removed irrelevent page headers and page numbers. The original raw material can be downloaded here (419K). Although I removed scanning errors as I met them, I have not done deliberate spell-checking on the document.

I sure hope that Intel also realeased this material to Public Domain as well. If anyone knows differently, or wants to get credited for the scanning work, please let me know.

Have fun hacking. Mast.
