EINE SYSTEMATISCHE EINFUEHRUNG IN DAS PROGRAMMIEREN
DES INTEGRIERTEN PLOTTERS
RELEASE 2.0
(( a plotted star-like logo ))
HERAUSGEBER: DEUTSCHE OLIVETTI GMBH, FRANKFURT (M)
AUSGABE JANUAR 1978
I tried to replicate the layout of this A4 manual from the late 70's.
As you might have guessed, this manual is a systematical introduction in programming the internal plotter
of an Olivetti P6060.
It was programmed using a proprietary BASIC dialect. Plotting was done
line by line using a thermal printer. A better programmable calculator, but
for my younger self, it was magic! :-)
This device (40-50kg) was brought by our school (IIRC on initiative of an enthusiastic teacher) around 1981.
Later, it got company from an Apple II, followed by an Apple IIc.
Ah, nostalgia ... when books about programming languages had less than 800 pages ;-)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
