├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ AUGUSTA is a subset of the US Department of Defense computer language │
│ ADA. ADA has been touted as the language of the future. More development │
│ has been put into the design of ADA than of any other new programming │
│ language ever! Augusta is a downsized version of ADA, devised by Edward │
│ Mitchell and published in Dr. Dobb's Journal. Jim Castleberry has taken │
│ the Augusta Basic source code and translated it into structured Pascal. │
│ The source is provided along with the compiled interpreter so that you can │
│ add your own extensions. │
│ Augusta will compile the source program into "pseudo-code" which is │
│ then executed by the interpreter ATERP. To run a program, first compile it │
│ using Augusta, then execute it by entering "ATERP" followed by the name of │
│ the ADA pseudo-code created by Augusta. Additionally, a pseudo-code │
│ dissassembler is provided, which translates the compiled programs into │
│ something more readable, similar to assembly language. │
│ Two sample programs are provided with Augusta. SIEVE.AUG is the │
│ popular Eratosthenes Sieve benchmark, while DEMO.AUG is a simple number │
│ guessing game. │
│ Those wishing further information on the ADA language and Augusta │
│ specifically are directed to articles in four issues of Dr. Dobb's │
│ Journal, totaling over fifty pages. They explain the operation of the │
│ compiler, the language syntax, and the details of the system. Dr. Dobb's │
│ issues 75, 77, 79, and 81, running every other month from January to July │
│ of 1983. There is a 160 page book about Augusta mentioned in the article │
│ available from Laboratory Microsystems Inc., 4147 Beethoven Street, Los │
│ Angeles, CA, 90066. │

MicroCom Systems distributes Public Domain and User-Supported (PD&US) software
for the IBM PC/XT/AT and compatible computers. Our software charter specifies
that we search for the best available PD&US software and distribute it for a
nominal charge. We understand that there are literally hundreds of megabytes
of PD&US software in existence and it is our goal to distribute only the best,
which constitutes only a small fraction of all PD&US software. Our prices are
also a reflection of the fact that we are a service oriented group.
In addition to offering only the best of what is available, we DO NOT offer
lots of redundant programs, which other public domain software groups tend to
do. We try to provide the service of distributing only the best program
available for a particular need, rather than every program on the market that
meets that need. For example, we sell only ONE variable size ram-disk (the
best one) whereas some of the other groups sell more than TEN of them!

║COMPATIBILITY║
╚═════════════╝
The programs we distribute generally require PC-DOS versions 2.0 or later
(including 2.1, 3.0, 3.1, and 3.2) A few programs may not work on some
compatibles. The basic programs distributed require IBM BASIC or BASICA, but
in most cases are compatible with GWBASIC, and Compaq's BASICA.
╔════════════════╗
║BEFORE YOU BEGIN║
╚════════════════╝
This distribution diskette may or may not have been physically write protected.
In any case, files should be copied to a work disk before use. In some cases,
it may not be possible to successfully execute programs without copying the
relevant files to a non-write protected work disk with sufficient space.
╔══════════════╗
║USING PROGRAMS║
╚══════════════╝
For a summary of the programs on a diskette, read the file HELP.DOC.
HELP.DOC contains a one line summary section for all programs on the disk.
Many programs will come with a separate documentation file with extension
".DOC". These documentation files should prove quite helpful in learning how
to use the programs. To execute a program with the specified extension:
EXTENSION COMMAND
───────── ───────
EXE Type the program name leaving off the extension.
COM Type the program name leaving off the extension.
BAS Type BASICA followed by the program name.
The programs distributed may be in subdirectories. To access a program in a
subdirectory, execute the DOS command "CHDIR (directory name)". This will then
make the specified directory the current one and the programs in it will be
directly accessible.
