Library of PET Subroutines
This book contains instructions relating to the subroutines of the Commodore PET.
From the Introduction:
'For the average PET user the prospect of writing a set of programs to perform, say, a business application is daunting. Many don't even try, preferring to employ someone to do the job or buy an off-the-shelf package...These problems are purely a mental block, since any person of average intelligence can write and design such a program. Given a logical framework on which to build, plus a few aids in the form of standard subroutines, the process of writing an applications program becomes considerably easier.'
