Convert to present value

This is a tool for converting past values to present. For example, Oric 1 was being sold in 1983 for 169 pounds. What is the present value? The user needs to define the inflation rate from 1950 to present in lines 20-80, to define the present year in line 110 and the conversion ratio from local curr...

Re: Oricutron v0.1 (now 0.8)

Is there any method to CSAVE from Oricutron? I wrote a few Basic lines and I want to keep them for a later use. I tried to insert a tape (a zero bytes tap file) but Oricutron writes nothing to it.

This is why last minute changes should always be followed by a thorough check :( Dbug is right, of course. Line 14 should be: 14 ' Run the program with RUN 11. or change line 11 to be line 10. BTW, if you find these programs useful then you may want to run them directly from your prompt without the ...

Scrutinize papers

Having completed more than 20 paper reviews, I have to say that I am fed up with bad mathematics coming from people that are supposed to be the scientific elite (Professors, Doctors, Ph.D candidates etc). The majority of the papers I have reviewed had problems with the units and the dimensions (i.e....

Oricutron slow in kernel 3.0.0-15

I am running Oricutron under xubuntu 11.10 in an IBM ThinkPad T40. Recently my system upgraded the kernel from 3.0.0-14 to 3.0.0-15 and Oricutron (version 0.8 ) became intolerably slow. It is so slow I cannot play Zorgons anymore :-( Running "top" I saw pulseaudio consuming all CPU resourc...
