-
- by John A. Schlack

- This program was compiled for use on 286 and later machines.
-
- The program may not have enough memory to function under DOS
- when solving large problems.
-
- A mini-manual is included in Microsoft Word format. This
- provides an example to get you started.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Quine-McClusky was originally developed on a Power Macintosh 6100/80
- running System 7.12 (MacOS) and Metrowerks CodeWarrior 4.5.
- On the PowerMac system, this program solved four 7 variable
- problems (each with 120 decimal functions) in under 5 seconds
- (most of that time was probably screen output!).
-
- The PC version was compiled using Borland C++ 2.0 running under
- emulation on the PowerMac system (using SoftWindows 1.0).
-
- The source code is exclusively ANSI C, which makes it compatible
- across a large spectrum of systems.

- History:
-
- version 1.2: November 29, 1994
- Fixed bug which caused crashes if solving an eight variable
- problem and some decimal functions were above 127 (internal
- table was too small). Fixed bug that prevented irredundant
- form for very large problems.
-
- version 1.1: November 2, 1994
- Program now reduces prime implicants to irredundant form.
-
- version 1.0: October 21, 1994
- Original release.
