To Pyedog

I agree with you - the Lander program could easily be improved.

As requested here is a list of programs on "Games" and "Electrical Engineering I".

I will do the sme for the "Engineering Math I to IV"

Games

1. Missionaries and Cannibals (Cross the river without getting
eaten by the cannibals.)
2. Nim (An old game of logic in a new electronic form for 2
players.)
3. Spaceship Lander (Try to touch down on a strange planet
safely.)
4. Treasure Hunt (We hid it—you find it.)
5. Biorhythms (Not really a game, but a way to check your
cyclic mood for any day.)
6. Star Blaster (Save the universe by restoring its galaxies.)
7. Craps (A modern version of the old dice game.)
8. Quick Watson (The best-selling Radio Shack computer
game comes to the Pocket Computer— Who done it?)


b]Electrical Engineering I[/b]

The Pocket Computer Electrical Engineering I package
consists of six programs that cover seventeen functions.
A brief description of each program function is given
below.

1. Complex Calculator (COMPLEX is the name on the
tape)
A reverse polish notation calculator which operates
on complex numbers.

Complex Impedance Calculator for a Passive Circuit
(IMPCALC is the name on the tape)
2. Complex Impedance Calculator computes the effective
complex impedance of a network.
3. Capacitive Reactance Calculator computes the re-
actance of a capacitor at a given frequency.
4. Inductive Reactance Calculator computes the re-
actance of an inductor at a given frequency.

Low Frequency Transistor Amplifier Design (AMPDES
is the name on the tape)
5. Transistor Biasing computes the bias resistors
required for a low frequency transistor amplifier.
6. Heat Sink Calculations computes the heat sink re-
quired for a transistor amplifier.

7. Linear Equation Solutions (SIMEQ is the name on
the tape)
Solves a set of linear equations with up to eight
unknowns.

Filters (FILTERS is the name on the tape)
8. m Derived Lowpass computes the component values
required for an m derived low pass filter.
9. m Derived Hipass computes the component values
required for an m derived high pass filter.
10. Active Lowpass Filter computes the component values
required for an active low pass filter.
11. Active Hipass Filter computes component values
required for an active high pass filter.
12. Active Band Pass Filter computes component values
required for an active band pass filter.

Engineering Tables (TABLES is the name on the tape)
13. AWG to R/FT computes the resistance per foot for
a given wire gauge.
14. Current to Wire Size computes the minimum wire size
required for a given current.
15. Resistance Color Code to Value converts the color
bands on a resistor to a resistance value.

16. Capacitor Color Code to Value converts the color dots
of a five dot 1957 RETMA capacitor to a capacitance
value.
17. RF Coil Design computes the number of turns required
for an RF coil on an air core.

As a newcomer to the forum, I am a little wary that it might not be acceptable to "pollute" the forum with non-HP stuff.
