At the end of the description of curved arrows, the student can review the material again or continue to the exercises. At the end of each exercise the option to exit the program exists, while at the end of the tutorial one can branch to the beginning of the tutorial or to the start of the exercises. Since the tutorial is protected from wrong key response, it is user friend15 The tutorial entitled CURVARR and written in GWBASIC used as programmer tools from SERAPHIM a machine language routine, BSGRAPH, written by Felino Pascual; a BASIC program, CHR$GEN, authored by Martin Rose; and a well-written documentation, CHR$-GEN.DOC, by James R. Hutchison. The program, which requires 64K memory, a 640 x 200 graphics adapter, MS DOS 2.0 or greater, and GWBASIC 2.02 or greater, runs on IBM compatible clones including the ATT 6300. The program also executes with an EGA or VGA system. A disc copy of the tutorial and documentation is available through SERAPHIM.
