FilmStar BASIC programs are included in the
complete installation and in

enable you to restore BASIC programs which were altered to the point where
they no longer work. Shoji.zip includes two BASIC programs and associated documentation

of Tokai Optical. One program estimates coating time and the other opens Hitachi
*.uds spectrophotometer files. |
