Resistor colour code calculator
===============================
version1.01 5 November 1990
History
=======
v1.00 28-Oct-1990
v1.01 05-Nov-1990 Added warning if not started in a 256 colour mode.
Instructions
------------
This simple application calculates the value of a resistor as given by its
colour bands. The application needs to be used in a 256 colour mode and will
give a warning at start up if the mode is not appropriate.
The program was written in Acorn ANSI 'C' version 3 and requires CLib v3.50
or later.
To determine the value of a set of colour bands, click SELECT or ADJUST over
the appropriate band to alter the colour. The value of the resistor is
automatically calculated and displayed.
Alternatively, use the writable icons to enter a resistance and tolerance.
Press RETURN or click the OK icon to display the correct colour bands. The
resistance icon will accept values entered in the following equivalent
formats;
1.5 or 1r5 or 1R5,
2200 or 22k or 22K
3300000 or 3.3m or 3M3 etc.
Resistances can be in the range 0.1 ohms to 990 Mohms with two significant
figures and tolerances of 1%, 2% or 5%.

NAPOLEON - Napoleonic Battle Simulator
Napoleon is designed as a tactical game based on historical
battles of the Napoleonic era. As the commander in the field you
can direct your army of infantry, cavalry and artillery.
The Opponents
The game can be played by two human players or one player against
the computer. Players can select four complexity levels and the
computer can play at three skill levels. The complexity levels
allow new players to gradually learn the game rules in successive
stages by a process of phasing in new concepts.
The Battlefield Map
The battlefield map window contains a scaled representation of
the historical terrain including hills, villages, rivers, roads
and forests. The window only shows a proportion of the whole map
which may cover an area four or five times larger than the
screen. A zoom option is included to allow players to get an
overall view of the battlefield.
The Armies
Armies consist of units of infantry, cavalry, artillery and the
headquarters. Each unit involved in a particular scenario is
individually represented on the map positioned as they were at
the start of the battle. Every unit includes its historical
name, numerical strength, morale situation, formation, movement
rate and combat effectiveness.
Combat
Combat between each unit is calculated by the computer. Factors
taken into account include:- unit type and formation, terrain,
range, combat effectiveness, whether units are stationary or
moving.
Movement
The movement ability of a unit is affected by the type of unit,
terrain type and the formation of the unit. Cavalry, infantry
and artillery all move at varying speeds and a unit can move at
maximum or half rate.
Morale
The morale of each unit is automatically updated as it fluctuates
due to changing circumstances. Units are forced to retreat but
may be rallied with the aid of the headquarters. A unit that has
its morale broken may effect the morale nearby friendly and enemy
units. The morale situation of the whole army is also taken into
account.
Visibility
Players can only see enemy units that visible to their own
troops. Units can be hidden in or behind buildings, hills and
vegetation.
Additional Features
The program includes a host of additional features including:-
play-by-mail option - fight your opponent through the post,
turn the sound on or off, display a grid over the map, swap
players at any time, limited or unlimited time to complete
orders.
Historical Scenarios
Napoleon comes with two authentic historical scenarios - Maida
and Waterloo. The Maida scenario is a small battle, perfect as
an introduction or for a quick game. In contrast, the Waterloo
scenario allows the player to become Napoleon or Wellington and
command vast armies in excess 50,000 men over an area of 12
square miles. Each scenario includes a description of the real
historical events.
The Rules
The extensive rules are included in a comprehensive 70 page
booklet which includes all of the information necessary to play
the game.
Machine Specifications
The program multi-tasks in the RISC-OS Desktop environment. The
simulator requires an Archimedes 310, 400 series or A3000 with at
least 1MByte of RAM, RISC-OS and, preferably, a colour monitor.
Scenarios Disc One
Two additional scenarios - Borodino and Quatre Bras. Borodino
was the decisive battle of Napoleon's disastrous invasion of
Russia with an excess of 200,000 infantry, 50,000 cavalry and
1000 guns committed by both sides. Quatre Bras was one of the
smaller battles of the Hundred Days campaign culminating at
Waterloo.
