FLOWCHARTER

by Thurstan Felstead



Rarely does a month go by without a manifestation of insanity appearing

on these pages. And as per usual this month, it's Monsignor Thurstan S.

Coolman Felstead OBE, now with his loyal disciple and fellow fruitcake

Francois S.L. Dooby Esq who have, in a double dose of dementia, written

[collected roar of approvement] the Flowchart Creator.



Flowing Charts

Just in case you were wondering, flowcharts are diagrams used to plan

the operation of programs. Different types of operation are

represented by different shaped boxes. A diamond is used for a

question, a parallelogram for an input and so on. The idea is to

keep the main stream of the program centralised and branch out

sideways for sub-routines. They're not used so much these days -

programmers sit down and Machine Code just spurts from their pores -

but they still remain a valuable asset to a would-be programmer.



Program

Firstly, type in the program and save it to tape. Afterwards load in

your Basic program and then MERGE in the Flowchart Creator. Run it

with GO TO 9824 and follow the on-screen prompts. The program will

create a flow chart for your program.
