I'm very interested in  floating-point number calculations. Do you still 
have this program somewhere ?

>The Rainbow published a Basic program called CoCoCad that was geared toward drawing electrical schematics, but could easily be adapted to create other technical drawings. I don't remember the issue that was in, but I do have it on floppy disk and could send you the dsk image if you like, plus scans of the article.

I've never heard about such application so I'm interested in too ... 
with great pleasure !

In fact I did write some simple programs to help me do some of my Geometry and Algebra homework. Of course the effort this took was probably 2 or 3 times the actual homework! ;-)

Yes, but what a FUN !! ;-)
