Help categorize the TRS-80 software archive

Nearly 30,000 programs, and almost none of them say what kind of program they are. Mark whatever you recognize. Pick as many words as fit — a game that teaches arithmetic is Game, Math, Education — then send the page. Everything is reviewed by hand before it goes anywhere near the archive, so a best guess is worth more than a blank.

Important Note: Do not do multiple entries of the same program. If you flag Super Nova by Big Five once, all Super Nova by Big Five entries will get updated. No need to waste your time flagging each Super Nova

Snapp-VI College Educated Garbage Collector [Original][TD Data Disk]

Snappware

M3 · 1982 · DMK

sncoedgs.zip

'I BOUGHT IT' 'My biggest loss of programming time using Snappware's COLLEGE EDUCATED GARBAGE COLLECTOR is spent inserting my diskette.' SCOTT ADAMS - PRES. OF ADVENTURE INTL. The Snappware College Educated Garbage Collector (SNAPP-VI) is an intelligent processing function which greatly improves performance of typical BASIC applications. And here's why: Microsoft uses a 'variable length string' in the BASIC interpreter. Each time the string is assigned a new value, it is relocated in a string pool. Periodically the string pool must be reorganized and condensed into a single contiguous area. Performing this string space reclamation is time consuming and inefficient because this approach evaluates and collects each string individually. The time required is roughly proportional to the square of the number of active strings in the resident program. During reclamation the system seems to 'lock-up' and does not respond to the operator until the process is completed. This time consuming approach requires a better solution. Snappware has developed a solution which takes advantage of the auxiliary memory available. SNAPP-VI requires only four bytes per active string as a work area. When free storage space is available, our system temporarily borrows, uses and returns the space to the free storage pool when completed. If storage is not available, our system will temporarily transfer out to disk enough of the BASIC program to make room for our work area and return the 'paged out' information to its correct location when completed. Benchmarked times show, in some situations, SNAPP-VI performs one hundred times as fast as the Microsoft approach. If you consider your programming time to be worth money, call us and let us show you how to get more of it.

Sofnet [Liquid Pipeline Network]MISSING

Dynacomp

SOFNET (CP/M, IBM, TRS-80, and Apple only) Liquid Pipeline Network Analysis Apple description; TRS very similar. SOFTNET is a general purpose liquid pipeline network analysis program designed for the Apple personal computer system. It is written in APPLESOFT basic with machine language subroutines for greater speed. The hardware requirements include a minimum of 48K memory, one disk drive, DOS 3.2 and an optional 80 column printer for permanent copy. SOFTNET is a powerful modeling tool for system planning and analysis which lets you tackle virtually any type of network configuration. Network data files maybe created, edited and stored on diskette using the Apple's built-in APPLESOFT editing features. When executed, the input data file is interactively requested by the system. An internal data checker searches for data errors and omissions. Once verified, the program indexes all nodes and associated connectors and solves the series of flow equations by an iterative link-node technique. Solution tolerance is set by the user. Once solved, results are displayed on the screen and, if desired, printed. Results can be saved for use in another simulation and you can play 'what if?' by inputting new values, recalculating and then displaying the new results. Network elements such as pipelines, pumping systems, valves, force mains and storage facilities can be specified to accurately represent the physical system being modeled. SOFTNET can treat: . Up to 150 system nodes and determine pressure and external flows at each point. Flow through up to 150 connecting elements. Hazen Williams equation. Mannings equation. Pumping systems. Check valves and other head loss elements. Up to 10 pumping stations including pump characteristics. Requires 48K. Price: $129.95 Diskette

The Space Shuttle is composed of the Enterprise, (shown on this month's cover) an external fuel tank, and two solid rocket boosters. The Enterprise and boosters are reusable; the external tank is expended on each launch. Some of the tasks that will be performed by The Enterprise are: retrieving satellites from Earth orbit, servicing orbiting satellites, conducting experiments in space that cannot be duplicated on Earth, and studying the Earth and deep space from a unique vantage point high above the atmosphere. During reentry, portions of the Enterprise exterior will reach temperatures up to 2,300 degrees Fahrenheit. The craft will level into horizontal flight at low altitude for an unpowered aircraft-type approach and landing is simulated by our featured program, DEADSTICK by Al Ragsdale. Ragsdale works on the Space Shuttle project and has over 1000 hours of flight time in the Lunar Module and Space Shuttle simulators. 3
