- Kenneth Kuller of Eagan, Maine submitted these programs.

- wrote this. It is a good Demo on the use
- of exponents.
- 2. COMPARE.DOC Ken feels, as I do, that credit should
- be given when due. On disk#1 there is a
- UCSD program called Compare that needed
- to be converted to Pascal/Z. I didn't
- receive the Doc file with the program
- but Ken found it.So here it is and the
- proper credits are included.
-
- This next large group was submitted by Scott Custin of
- Washington,DC.
-
- 3«á DISASMB.DO├-----ReaΣ thi≤ firs⌠ becausσ therσ arσ ß lo⌠á oµ ì
- small program associated with this disassembler. It is in
- MICROSOFT Basic,Version 5.1 which I would not normally use
- but since it does disassemble TDL plus Z80 plus 8080 plus
- 8085 I figured someone, somewhere would be tickled to get
- this.

- 4. DATE.DOC-----Again, read this first since Scott has included
- several programs, all dealing with dates. These routines
- treat a date as one of a series of consecutive integers.
- The concept is similar to Julian dates, used by a number of
- "BIG" computer programs, and has a number of advantages over
- storing the month, day and year separately.
-
- PROMT LIB MAKEDATE LIB RMAKEDA LIB
- BRKDATE LIB DASTRLON LIB DASTRSH LIB
- DASTRFIX LIB DATE PAS DATEFUNC LIBè
- 5. MISC.DOC-----Yep, read this first. Scott tossed in some odds
- and ends. You have to give Scott credit, he sure has been
- creative. Keep this up folks, and we will have a excellent
- LIBRARY.
-
- GETINT LIB CAPCHAR LIB PADSTR LIB
- CAPSTR LIB DEPAD LIB STRVAL LIB
-
- 6. HANOI COM/PAS I included this not for its game value
- but it is an excellent Demo on recursive
- procedures. If you can see how this works
- (its deep) you'll certainly understand
- local versus global variables.
-
- 7. DIS.ASM/DOC This was given to me for our TDL use.
- However, the three or four assemblers
- I had available would not assemble it
- without massive errors. So if anyone
- does make a COM file that works good
- be sure and send me a copy. Let me
- know what assembler you used also.
-
- 8. CONFER.PAS/COM Just to show you how long Ray has been
- chipping away at Pascal/Z, I thought
- I would include this old one. It
- does have some useful ideas and can
- be used as is. It sets up a schedule
- for a conference.
