Ask HN: Do You Have a Copy of IBM "Logo: Programming with Turtle
Graphics"?
Hello HN! First a quick background of what I am trying to search.
In 1983, Logo Computer Systems, Inc. (LCSI) published two popular
versions of Logo. One was meant to be run on Atari systems and the
other was meant to be run on IBM PCs. The manuals and
documentation for the Atari LCSI Logo are very well archived on the
world wide web. The two I am particularly interested in are here:
A) Atari Logo Reference Manual: https://atariwiki.org/wiki/attach/L
ogo/Atari%20LOGO%20Reference%20Manual.pdf B) Atari Logo
Introduction to Programming Through Turtle Graphics: https://atariw
iki.org/wiki/attach/Logo/Atari%20LOGO%20Introduction%20To%20Program
ing%20Through%20Turtle%20Graphics%20%281-sided%29.pdf On page 3 of
the first document (9th page in the PDF), there is a reference to
the second document: > First time Logo users should start with the
companion manual _Introduction to Programming Through Turtle
Graphics_. However, sadly, the manuals for IBM LCSI Logo does not
seem to be easily available. I found the following: C) IBM
Personal Computer Logo Reference:
https://archive.org/download/ibm_logo_manual/ibm_logo_manual.pdf
It too has a reference to an introductory documentation: > The
purpose of the _IBM Personal Computer Logo Reference_ is to give
you a thorough understanding of the many features of Logo by
expanding the information contained in _Logo: Programming with
Turtle Graphics_ , which comes with IBM Personal Computer Logo.
However, I have not been able to find a copy of this document
anywhere. Do you know any place I can get hold of a copy of the
document titled "Logo: Programming with Turtle Graphics" that is
meant to be used with IBM/LCSI PC Logo?

| though. You may want to contact the seller, which is possible on
| AbeBooks.
|
| Good luck with your search!
