After giving RobotBASIC away for many years, I have decided not to spend

a lot of time updating the webpage.  I am sure there will be many more

in Servo and perhaps other magazines too, but I will not be spending my 

Senior years constantly updating the site.  Assuming I am still around, you

should be able to email me at RobotBASIC@yahoo.com if you have questions.

Three articles have been published in Circuit Cellar Magazine.
