I am not aware of any portion of this program as being from another program.
Stock is a computer implementation of a bookshelf game "Stocks & Bonds" owned
and published by Avalon Hill.

The program was developed on a Heathkit (H-11) and a Southwest Technical
Products (SWTP-82) terminial using Pascal II.0.

The idiosyncrasies of the program are:

1.  It is scope dependent.

2.  I have no random number generator and I am simulating one from the line
    clock.  Therefore, there must be a line clock and it must be on.
    [changed to detect presence of clock and prompt for seed if no clock  gws]

3.  It uses CHR(12), form feed, to clear the screen and home the cursor.
    [ changed to H-19 codes   gws]

4.  The program data is initialized from a text file named
    STOCK:STOCK.DATA.TEXT
    [changed to #5:STOCK.DATA.TEXT gws]
