PREFACE

Programming in machine and assembly language is one of those

things that everyone would like to be able to do. Machine

language is extremely fast and versatile. Many people try to

learn itf but most quickly give it up because it is too

complicated. Only a few actually use it.

With this book we want to make it possible for thousands of

Commodore 64 users to use machine language. We have enlisted

the services of Lothar Englisch as author for this purpose.

Not only has he worked on many of our other books, but he is

also well acquainted with the Commodore operating systems

and programming for all models of the Commodore computers in

both machine language and assembler.

To get the most out of machine language programming, you

must concentrate on the following chapters. We think that

you will be rewarded in the end.

Have fun with this book and much success with your own

machine language programs.
