Most sample programs are preceded by PASCAL and BASIC programs meeting the same specifications. Detailed discussions are included, together with examples of CP/M and XENIX style file handling, thorough coverage of graphics, plus a detailed introduction to the 8087 coprocessor. The book also contains 180 exercises, annotated tables of 8086 and 8087 instructions, chapter summaries and lists of key words. All 60 programs are accompanied by diskettes, eliminating the need for lengthy typing.
