Hi,
It could be seriously interesting to take a look at their BCPL compiler.
Imagine having BCPL on your CV...

Re: Looking for Metacomco Languages
That pdf is almost 800 pages long - probably best not to print it out! Lots of BCPL information there.

Re: Looking for Metacomco Languages
Hi,
Here is the OCRed Metacomco QL C manual, in LibreOffice and PDF formats.
Since the Forum can not accept the size of the LibreOffice file, this is a link to a Mega Share area:
https://mega.nz/file/MWAmGKTK#IPQvhhrr2 ... b7d3mI_y94
My thanks go to the people who helped to proof read the manual and put up with the problems I may of introduced.
There maybe some ambiguities in the manual, which probably requires an experienced C programmer to help out.
Let me know any problems.
