Kenneth Kuller of Eagan, Maine submitted these programs. 1 EXPO.PAS/CO͠ H wante benchmar progra s h 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 DISASMB.DO-----Rea thi firs becaus ther ar lo o 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. 8085 LST 8085 TAB XREF BAS ZILOG LST ZILOG TAB XREF SUB INTEL LST INTEL TAB TDL LST TDL TAB LST8085 BAS LSTINTEL BAS LSTTDL BAS LSTZILOG BAS TAB8085 BAS TABINTEL BAS TABTDL BAS TABZILOG BAS DISASMB BAS 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 LIB 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.
