Commodore Classics - Quickfind
Harvey B. Herman, Associate Editor
 
Since the Commodore PET was introduced in 1977 as one of the first
personal computers, hudreds of handy programs and routines have
been written in Commodore BASIC. Many of these programs, when
translated and updated, are queally handy for users of today's
VIC-20 and Commodore 64 computers. From time to time we'll feature
some of these "Commodore Classics." This one was adapted from a
program and article by Harvey B. Herman, an associate editor of
COMPUTE!.
