Some notes from the editor:



                                      LIFE

     This is the game of LIFE submitted by Pat Horton.  It will require some
form of KEY_PRESS routine.  There is one in there which should work on many
IV.0 systems.  I haven't as yet figured out the meaning of this game, but
after one watches it for a while, one wonders what life is all about.


                                      TELE

     TELE, submitted by Pat Horton, keeps a database of telephone
transactions.  It probably takes longer to enter the data than to complete
the conversion, but it is fun.

                                    SORTUNIT

     This is a three-key sort, submitted by Pat Horton.  I haven't used it,
but it compiles and seems to be alive.

                                     SORT2
                                        
     A program version of SORTUNIT.

                                     DEBUG

     This is the UCSD Pascal version I.3 debugger.  It is reputed to have 
problems, but is is also reputed to work.  Although I haven't tried it, I am 
willing to bet that it will be fairly easy to convert it to run as a separate
program under any version of the p-system.

                                    BLACKBOX

     Blackbox is a game that simulates the work of a nuclear physicist.  The 
player fires rays into an unknown 8 * 8 grid.  The resultant interaction of 
the rays with the contents of the 8 * 8 grid allows deduction of its contents.


                                     SEGMAP
                             
     Segmap displays a report the the contents of ANY UCSD segment from ANY
version of the p-system.  If you are having troubles and want to determine
what's REALLY in that questionable segment, this will tell you.
                             
                             THE BENCHMARK PACKAGE

     There are several benchmark programs on this disk.  These are intended to 
determine how fast a particular computer/software combo is in relation to 
others for reasonable "real-life" type computer tasks.  Refer to the file
BENCHMARKS.TEXT for more info.
