TRS-80 Pocket Computer 1 Aviation Program
« on: March 13, 2024, 02:45:22 am »
I just replaced my LCD screen in my PC-1 and went looking for my Aviation program cassette, but no go.

I would really like to get this program running again as I used it when flying in the 80s and the computer still has the overlay on the keyboard.

I have searched the internet and even tried to find something using Veronica to search Gopher, but no luck.

Does anyone here have a copy?

Thanks

rsjsousa:

Thanks for the pointer. I had already visited there and the program I have is not listed as available. I have asked the OP of that thread by way of a PM but I have received no response.

You have me curious now. I bought a book at Radio Shack years ago called Computers for Sea and Sky. It had listings in basic for many functions. I will see if I can find the book and possibly send you the ISBN. Perhaps it has the source code you are looking for?

Google found a reference to it:

Maybe you could ask them to provide you with the audio file.

Archive.org has a similarly named book that could be borrowed from their digital library - is this one?

Indeed, that is the book I have. I bought it at a Radio Shack store about 30 years ago. I've been P.P.S.E.L. certified with rotor time since 1984 and that is probably about the time I bought the book.

The program I am looking for did not come in a book as far as I remember. It came only on cassette.
