I have uploaded to SIMTEL20: pd1:<msdos.education> PWERSQR1.ZIP Makes squares, sides multiply to same product Power Square creates squares whose horizontal, vertical and diagonal components all multiply to the same product. User defines several parameters. Thousands of different squares are possible. The program is free. Source code is $5. John Marsh basher@CORRAL.UWyo.Edu

I am pleased to see these descriptions, and please don't get me the wrong way since this is meant as a friendly feedback. Looking at this description the user (or I at least) cannot see what the program is for. The description is too scanty and ambiguous. ...................................................................

Looking at >this description the user (or I at least) cannot see what the >program is for. The description is too scanty and ambiguous. from the description, i would imagine that this program would create a square array of numbers, akin to a magic square, whose rows, etc., instead of adding to the same sum, multiply to the same product. parameters would probably be size of square, desired product... i guess this is the case without actually trying the program.
