From back cover:
An Expert System is, simply, computer software that encapsulates some area of human expertise. It can help a doctor to diagnose illnesses, a chemist to deduce chemical structures or help to choose the best place to drill for oil or precious metals. Up to now this has been the province of big computers, bigger programs, and exotic languages. But this book brings the important topic down to earth with easy explanations and practical BASIC programs that you can key in immediately on your personal computer.

"Many people think of the PCW as a word processor, but it can also produce high quality pictures, graphs and diagrams. This book contains numerous BASIC routines for all types of design. You can produce plans for an extension to your house, rotate it and view it from any angle and then print it out. You can design a kitchen, theatrical scenery, electronic circuits - all to your own specification. And then add text, move parts of the diagrams around, cut and paste different parts of them - the possibilities are endless."

Date: 1991 Programming in ANSI Standard C

This book takes a novice, with some experience of BASIC and operating systems, up to a good working knowledge of the C language. The standards of the ANSI version 3 dialect of C are adhered to throughout.

Rather than just define the syntax of C, as in a language manual, this book uses well-chosen examples that are easy to follow, and are often useful in their own right. Well over 100 programs are used to illustrate the various features of the language.

Topics include: the pre-processor; declaring data types, variable storage; functions and macros; pointers; arrays; character strings; data structures; file handling; printing techniques and problems; graphics. Numerous appendices provide rapid access to quick-reference information.
