ASCII TSR Utility 

          ASCII                                     
          TSR Utility                               
          ______________________________________________________

          Purpose:  Provides a pop-up ASCII chart showing
                    decimal, hexadecimal, and character
                    equivalents for the full IBM character set.

          Format:   [d:][path]ASCII

          Remarks:  ASCII.COM is a memory-resident (TSR) utility
                    that is may loaded at boot-up, via your
                    AUTOEXEC.BAT file.  Once loaded, pressing
                    Alt-A pops up the first page (32 ASCII codes)
                    of the display window over any currently
                    active applications program.  The Up- and
                    Down-Arrow, PgUp and PgDn, and Home and End
                    keys access the remaining ASCII display
                    pages.  Pressing Esc closes the window,
                    restoring the original screen display.

                    In operation, ASCII.COM requires approximately
                    2.5K of RAM.  It is compatible with most
                    applications and TSR (terminate and stay
                    resident) programs that do not themselves
                    require the Alt-A key combination, and it may
                    be used with monochrome, color, or EGA
                    monitors.

                    Notes:

                    1.   Users familiar with using DEBUG can
                         modify the default border, text, and
                         header colors of ASCII.COM.  These values,
                         initially 0Fh, 1Fh, and 1Eh,
                         respectively, are located at offsets
                         014D through 014F in the .COM file.  For
                         use with a composite monochrome display,
                         the values 70h, 07h, and 07h are
                         suggested.

Evidence supporting quantum information processing in animals

              Evidence supporting quantum            information processing in animals                    James A. Donald                    1068 Fulton Av                    Sunnyvale, CA 94089-1505                    USA I show that quantum systems can rapidly solve some problems for which finite state machines require a non- polynomially large time. This class of problems is closely related to the class of problems that animals can solve rapidly and effortlessly, but are intractable for computers by all known algorithms. 1. Introduction      Animals, including very simple animals, can rapidly and effortlessly perceive objects, whereas computers take nonpolynomial time to do this by all...

ARMIES OF CHAOS

                          ARMIES OF CHAOS -      Before anyone proposes more gun control, he or she should know  about a simple, deadly weapon 4 times as powerful as Dirty Harry's  legendary .44 Magnum -- and at least twice as concealable -- that  _can't_ controlled.        This simple, deadly weapon can be made by anyone -- even a  child -- with unpowered hand tools in an hour's time using $5 worth  of materials, most of which are available around the house anyway.   In traditional form it's reusable an unlimited number of times, and  modern plastics have rendered its disposable version electronically  undetectable.  You can clear a room with such a weapon (more of a  hand-held directional grenade than a gun -- sort of a recycleable  Claymore mine) and it's just one of hundreds of similar time-proven  designs. ...
