smart enough to insert '.lm' commands in the file to keep the
left margins of the document. It will remove the hard carriage
returns from inside paragraphs while at the same time will also
keep short lines as short lines.

Usage: the ASCII file will be renamed to filetype '.BAK'. The

STARTREK The Computer Program

An ideal task for the beginner to learn a language on is a
simulation game which is written around the computer that
the beginner has available. For in that case, there is
complete control of all inputs and outputs, This kind of
game in which the player makes decisions based on the
information available to him or her available at the time),
can be made sufficiently sophisticated and complex so as to
make writing it an adequate challenge for anybody.

The techniques used in writing a good game are the same that
programmers use in professional activities. Writing a good
game poses a challenge that allows you to develop good
habits and techniques for programming and also allows you to
learn a language in an interesting manner. By taking an
orderly approach to the game design, complex operations may
be clearly understood and converted to computer code with
the aid of a language reference manual, irrespective of the
language being used.

This product teaches the techniques for writing such a game
using the STARTREK game as an example, and the BASIC
language as the programming language in which to write the
code.
