PBASMLIB Bibliography
---------------------
The following books and other documents were helpful in the research,
design and creation of PBASMLIB. This is not a complete list, but a
sample of some of the more useful books and resources.
* Ralf Brown's Interrupt List
---------------------------
(C) Copyright 1989-1994 Ralf Brown
This is not a book but a freeware reference guide available on BBS's.
It's an absolutely thorough and indispensable technical reference to PC
interrupt calls, and it played a large part in PBASMLIB's development.
Without it, PBASMLIB's install check module and the speech functions in
the sound module would not have been possible. Special thanks to Ralf
Brown for providing such a useful resource for PC programmers.
* MS-DOS Functions - Programmer's Quick Reference Series
------------------------------------------------------
(C) Copyright 1988 by Ray Duncan, Microsoft Press
ISBN 1-55615-128-4
A useful technical reference to MS-DOS interrupt calls.
* IBM ROM BIOS - Programmer's Quick Reference Series
--------------------------------------------------
(C) Copyright 1988 by Ray Duncan, Microsoft Press
ISBN 1-55615-135-7
Another useful technical reference, this one on ROM BIOS
interrupt calls.
* The New Peter Norton Programmer's Guide to the IBM PC & PS/2
------------------------------------------------------------
By Peter Norton and Richard Wilton
(C) Copyright 1985, 1988 Peter Norton/Microsoft Press
ISBN 1-55615-131-4
A general programmer's guide to the PC, containing much useful
information and many helpful hints.
* PowerBASIC 3.0 Programmer's Guide and Reference Guide
-----------------------------------------------------
(C) Copyright 1990, 1992 by Robert S. Zale
Portions (C) Copyright 1987, 1989 Borland International
The PowerBASIC Programmer's Guide and Reference Guide are
of course indispensable references when writing anything for
PowerBASIC. The PB online help is also excellent, and served
as a great resource.
* Advanced MS-DOS
---------------
(C) Copyright 1986 by Ray Duncan, Microsoft Press
ISBN 0-914845-77-2
An old but very good book on advanced MS-DOS programming,
including many examples in assembly language. Still a good
addition to any DOS programmer's library.
* Programming the 8086/8088
-------------------------
by James W. Coffron
(C) Copyright 1983, Sybex Inc.
ISBN 0-89588-120-9
A reference for 8086/8088 opcodes and operands, and
a programming guide for these chips.
* Borland Turbo Assembler User's Guide
------------------------------------
(C) Copyright 1988- Borland, International
Borland's excellent documentation for TASM was a great help
in writing PBASMLIB. It supplies many useful examples, and
goes into great detail about TASM programming. I'd recommend
TASM as an assembler based on the quality of the documentation
alone.
* Peter Norton's Assembly Language Book for the IBM PC
----------------------------------------------------
by Peter Norton and John Socha
(C) Copyright 1989 Brady Books, Inc.
Assembly language is not an easy topic to teach, but no one does
it better than "the master," Peter Norton. Studying this book finally
enabled me to pick up 80x86 assembly language, and it's one of the best
I've found for beginning assembly language programmers.
* Writing and Marketing Shareware
-------------------------------
(C) Copyright 1992, Steven C. Hudgik
ISBN 0-8306-2552-6 (p)
The definitive work on Shareware, and the best guide I've found
to (as the title suggests), writing and marketing Shareware. All
Shareware authors should have a copy of this book in their library.
* Programming the Adlib/Soundblaster FM Music Chips, v2.0
-------------------------------------------------------
(C) Copyright 1991, 1992 Jeffrey S. Lee
A text file in public circulation detailing the technical aspects
of programming the Adlib and Soundblaster. A key to the creation
of the sound module of PBASMLIB.

Masterpiece BBS, with 24 CD-ROMs online, was a great resource and help
when writing PBASMLIB. One of the best BBS's in the Puget Sound area,
and possibly in the nation. Many incoming phone lines and services
offered. Give them a call! You can leave me (the author of PBASMLIB)
