Looks amazing as ever. Is BCPL next?

Is BCPL next?

It is, after a quick detour to finish off the Master Advanced Reference Manual.

This looks interesting. Thanks for all the hard work that must have gone into this.

Thanks! Just what I was after as I'm trying not to crease the spine on my hardcopy.

Thanks for the job. It is nice to have all together.
I sure am a data hoarder, I like the idea to have it on my PC even if I have never touched COMAL before in my life.

FYI: on p410, the first Supplementary program "FUNC new_inkey(n)" appears twice.

At first glance the two functions may look the same but they are different.

The first function new_inkey is a replacement for INKEY.
The second function new_inkey$ is a replacement for INKEY$.
