Much space is taken repeating similar information that would be better suited to an appendix. In the first program two pages are spent giving compile instructions for the all the compilers. In contrast source code layout rates half a page. There is a one line program as an illustration of how not to do it, but that is all.
Much space is taken up with tables for the states of one bit, two bits, three bits, four bits.
The last table takes a whole page bar 9 lines. This section then winds its way through the rest of the language with functions not arriving until half way though the book, long after they have been used. It does not seem structured but rambles. Program development is 'discussed' but no real information is given. The book advocates the use of one level of pseudo code for design rather than any other methods that are mentioned and dismissed in three lines.
