NLYSIS, POSTER2, CLNDRS, PIDART
BASIC8-54
Submitted by: Edward J. Quigley
Operating System: EDU-20
  1. NLYSIS is a program that 'analyzes' handwriting. The signature is put on any data input form (card/paper tape) and the program then goes to work on it.

    NLYSIS HAS NO BASIS IN ACTUAL HANDWRITING ANALYSIS. The program is a good example of how the computer's reputation as a "superbrain" can be used to fool the uninitiated.

  2. POSTER2 prints out messages in large block letters, 5 lines by 5 spaces, in several rows, each row printed across the page, rather than down the length of the page.
  3. CLNDR5 will print out, in 2 columns down the page, a calender for any given year from 1800 to 2300 A.D.

    CLNDR5, with no changes, will run on an 8K Edusystem-20 with three users. When abbreviated (through the use of three-letter commands) the program will run on a four user system.

  4. PIDART utilizes the random number generator to approximate pi.
