For those of you interested in PC Scheme from Texas Instruments, a set
of very useful utilities and detailed documentation is available
at no charge from:

 Send two blank, FORMATTED 370K 5-1/4 disks or one 720K 3-1/2 minidisk
             and a SELF-ADDRESSED,  STAMPED envelope. 

 My distribution system is a TIPC so if you don't PRE-FORMAT them, you
 may not be able to read what I send you. And I don't pay postage
 (except for non-US mailings.)

*=======================================================================*


Although written primarily for the TIPC, everything except the
graphics works on IBMs and IBM clones.  The directories are:


UTILITY - Various text windowing, file printing and keyboard handlers
which simplify writing application programs: 

	- A new top-level read-eval-print loop which uses an
          emacs/unix-like line-editor with the capability to 
          scroll through and edit previous entries
	- Pop-up error window
	- Source File pretty-printer 
	- Higher level window manipulators
	- General Purpose application prompts 
	- Push/Pop Top Level Loop functions
 
SWI - A convenient mechanism for invoking 8086 ASSY routines via SWI-INT.

HELP - A user-extendable on-line help facility which includes all of
the PCS functions and syntax as well as other information on PCS
specific quirks.  

GRAF - A graphics package for creating graphics "windows" somewhat
analogous to text windows

PLOT - A general purpose function plotter (only for TIPCs)

GAME1 - Self explanatory - non-graphics for IBM or TIPC
GAME2 - for TIPC graphics

ERR_STAT - more utilities for controlling the status window, testing
for directories and disabling the gc-message

MENUSHEL - three general purpose menu driven command shells handy for
application development.
