	~~Don Thomasson has examined every aspect of the Amstrad~~ — ~~its peripherals, the ROM and the RAM routines~~. ~~This book contains a breakdown and expianation of all of the following:~~		— No Computer jargon. A straight forward approach with many examples.

	~~Memory Map~~, ~~Windows~~		Compiled exclusively tor Amstrad users, AMSTRAD MACHINE LANGUAGE FOR THE ABSOLUTE BEGINNER offers complete instructions in Z80 machine language programming.

	~~Input/Output Map~~, ~~Matrix data~~		If you are frustrated by the limitations of BASIC and want to write faster, more powerful, space-saving programs or subroutines, then this book is tor you.

	~~Outer Peripherals~~, ~~Text output~~		Even with no previous experience of Computer languages, the easy-to-understand no jargon‘ format of this book will enable you to discover the power of the Amstrad‘s own language.

	~~Jumpblock Entries~~, ~~Graphics VDU~~		Each Chapter includes specific examples of machine language appliCations which can be demonstrated and used on your own Amstrad. The features and capabilities of the Amstrad are all covered, so you can start programming straight away.

	~~RAM routines~~, ~~Keyboard routines~~		AMSTRAD MACHINE LANGUAGE FOR THE ABSOLUTE BEGINNER takes you, in logical steps, through a comprehensive course in machine language programming. This book gives you everything you needtowrite machine language programs on your Amstrad

			== Review ==

			This book is the definitive guide for all serious programmers on the Amstrad CPC464.
			Don Thomasson has examined every aspect of the Amstrad — its peripherals, the ROM and the RAM routines. This book contains a breakdown and expianation of all of the following:

			Memory Map, Windows
			lnput/Output Map, Matrix data
			Outer Peripherals, Text output
			Jumpblock Entries, Graphics VDU
			RAM routines, Keyboard routines
			Main Reset, Input routines
			Printer routines, Keylcode table
			lnterrupt Handler, Break functions
			Event System, Cassette messages
			Screen RAM, Cassette routines
			Streams, Cassette calls
			Parameters, File types
			Mode control, Sound calls
			Addresses, External ROM command words
			Inks, External ROM routines
			Flash System, BASIC routines
			General routines, BASIC interpreter
			Colour

			All of the routines available in the Amstrad are detailed with explanations and tables, as weIl as Information on how to use the routines.

			The book also contains a guide to all possible ROM configurations. The appendices include two programs that will allow you to examine the routines in the Amstrad and test various parameters.

			lf you are involved in programming the Amstrad CPC464 then you must have this book.
