ISOMER was written to establish the utility of the LAB-8 as a

tool for computer-assisted instruction. It is designed to assist

students in learning organic nomenclature by asking them to

identify all 21 isomers of C₅H₁₀Br₂. Carbon skeletons are

drawn on the scope by typing C's and the positions of the BR's

are controlled by the LAB-8 knobs. After the bromines are

adjusted to represent a legitimate isomer, typing N produces

the IUPAC name on the Teletype. The program also informs

the student if he has entered this compound before, and when

he is done, lists any isomers that he omitted.
