[oopic] Re: Where to begin?

Knowing that there is a book is helpful if you can find one. It is
out of print and the used copy on www.alibris.com sells for $291.09 -
ABSOLUTELY INSANE!

So, get the sample programs from the Mark III group, study them, think
about what they do and then ask questions. The one you want is
msmarkiii.osc by Pete Skeggs.

It is regrettable that the V5 documentation has gone away because it
will match the samples better than V6. OTOH, V6 seems to work pretty
well with the B.2.2+ chip AFAICT.

Read all the stuff at www.oopic.com

Post questions here as our moderator (Dennis Clark) wrote the book and
there are some knowledgeable people haunting this group.
