Does anyone out there know if it is possible to access the trig functions present in Microsoft Extended Basic on the Coco ? I would like to be able to use these routines from a machine language program, without using having to call a basic routine from my machine language program. dmc@dec

Re accessing floating-point routines in CoCo BASIC: various magazines
(*Hot CoCo*, *Color Computer Magazine*, and no doubt *Rainbow*) have
run disassemblies or listings of entry points into Color BASIC and
Extended Color BASIC. There is a set of three books that I think Spectrum
Products sells, called *X Unravelled*, for X in {Color BASIC, Extended
Color BASIC, Color Disk BASIC}, that is supposed to tell you more than
you ever wanted to know about their internals. (See the back cover of
any recent *Rainbow* for ads about these books.)
