Mr. Resistor

          Written in Microsoft QuickBasic 4.5



          If you are a ham radio buff, electronics student or
          electronic's hobbiest, Mr. Resistor can help. Just where
          did you place that old "thumbwheel" resistor color guide?
          Mr. Resistor is a simple electronic replacement.

          
          REQUIREMENTS:

          -  Any PC compatable with VGA color
          -  A mouse, with it's associated driver loaded

          
          RUNNING PROGRAM:

          - Can reside on floppy disk or your hard drive
          - Just type MRESISTR  then press ENTER

          
          MENUS:

          - To acticate menus HOLD the LEFT button down until you are
            over the menu choice you want, then RELEASE the button.
          - Control plus the first menu letter will do the same.
          - To change colors of the resistor, place the mouse on the
            color band you want and click the left button to assend in
            value, the right button to cycle in desending values.
          - You may also click the mouse buttons in the associated
            text box for the band values and achieve the same results.

           
           QUITING:

           - Choose the Quit option from the menus or CONTROL + BREAK or
             CONTROL + C will work.


           I first wrote Mr. Resistor for my former computer an ATARI ST
           and now that I now joined the PC compatable world, I chose
           QuickBasic 4.5 to easily port it over. Mr. Resistor is in the
           public domain and I take no responsibilty for it's accuracy and
           take no responsibilty for damage resulting from the use or
           misuse of this program.  Feel free to copy it, give it to
           friends or whatever.  With surface mount technology it appears
           that fewer and fewer carbon composition resistors, as we are
           used to, are being seen.  Nonetheless Mr. Resistor can come in
           handy for the ones that are around.  Enjoy
