- Brief descriptions for CUJ:
-
- WALCLOCK is an animated analog clock face with sweep second hand and
- audible ticking. It displays, at your request, local time (according
- to DOS), Chinese time (where water clocks are less accurate),
- Australian time (where clocks run backwards due to the Coriolis
- force), or Reagan time (which is a bit erratic). Any of the above
- can be displayed in 12-hour or 24-hour format. This program serves
- no useful purpose. It is a graphics show-off program. It requires
- Hercules monochrome graphics.
-
- HOD is the Hodgepodge machine, from Scientific American. It makes
- waves. See Scientific American, Aug. 1988, p. 104 for details. It
- serves no purpose, but demonstrates graphics. It requires Hercules
- monochrome graphics.
-
- GEARS is a bicycle gear chart calculator. For bicycles with up to
- three chain rings and up to eight freewheels it will calculate your
- gears, in gear inches, and display them in a rectangular chart,
- showing the percentage change between adjacent chain rings and
- between adjacent freewheels. It also shows the gears in ascending
- order (leaving out the "forbidden" cross-over gears) and the
- percentage change from one to the next. Thus you can easily spot
- redundant gears or large gaps. And it shows the amount of chain
- slack. The program works like a mini-spreadsheet, recalculating the
- entire chart automatically every time you alter an entry. Thus you
- can experiment with gear combinations until you find one you like.
- No special display adapter is needed since all output is text, via
- stdio.
-
- The executable programs are included on this disk for people who
- don't want to bother with the hassle of porting them to other
- compilers. These programs and their source code are public domain.
