A Guide to Writing Microcomputer Simulations

Resumen

Microcomputers offer desirable advantages over mainframe computers for writing simulations, including easier userinstallation, better control of the system, an addressable screen, and increasingly widespread availability. Ways to utilize these inherent advantages are discussed. Software developers need to write completely self-contained systems of programs that can be utilized by the majority of existing microcomputer systems. MODERN BUSINESS DECISIONS (Cotter and Fritzsche, 1985) is used to illustrate the solutions to problems of program development and system utilization.
