Table of contents: title: Preface; title: Several months ago, it became apparent that we should give serious thought to creating a "best of" series from the pages of Inter-face Age. The idea seemed like it would not present a major problem at first, until we looked at the mountain of material we had available. The quantity wasn't the only problem. The decision had to be made on what was best, so it could be included in the reprint series.; title: After careful consideration, with close attention being paid to readers' letters, the decision was made to create a "best of" series of "Interface Age" Classics. What this meant was that rather than to create a huge, difficult to use book of just about everything, we are printing the classic software pieces and the ones that many readers said they would like to see.; title: The four reprinted articles that you find in this volume are those classics. Furthermore, they represent several different programming techniques. At the same time, they provide the reader with some of the most useful software ever created.; title: Chapter four, "The Great Experiment," offers the one piece of software that has been requested more than any other: the complete source listing of Uiterwyk's 4K BASIC. It is an absolute classic. The source code was released into the public domain by Mr. Uiterwyk for this software volume, so students of software could achieve maximum benefit from its use. For this, we at "Interface Age" are extremely grateful.; title: My staff and I are quite convinced that everyone who makes use of this first volume will find it invaluable in making better use of their systems.; title: Volume 2 of this series is made up of additional general purpose software from some of the "Interface Age" authors you have enjoyed over the past few years. Volumes 3 and 4 are dedicated specifically toward the small businessman. These two volumes contain more business software than any book currently available today.; title: To round out this current "best of" series, Volume 5, "Best of Interface Age- Things to Think About," contains those articles for the futuristic thinker and gadgeteer. This volume contains reprints from Roger Garret's famous "Inventor's Sketchpad." Also included are short and useful software tips, along with some handy hardware articles.; title: "Interface Age" has always been known as the leader in the publication of important and useful software and ideas. We feel that the publication of this "best of" series will further enhance our leadership and provide you with hundreds of hours of enjoyment.; title: Carl Warren; title: Editor-In-Chief; title: Table of Contents; title: Chapter 1 - Lawrence Livermore 8080 BASIC; title: By Jerry Barber, Royce Eckard, John Dickenson, David Mead,; title: and E.
