When I was preparing for my RAE the most complicated formula in the
syllabus was the one for calculating resonant frequency. I don't see what
it has to do with a degree. I learnt it as part of high school physics.
Back before my eyes were bad and I could design and build things, I found
it useful at times. Maybe the average American Joe doesen't need to know
what resonance is but the average limey ham should. It is probably the
same all over Europe.
As for the little programme for ASCII codes. One drawback of Winpack,
compared with programmes like TPK which I used when I had an AE, is that
the ALT + Num pad keys just generates garbage in most cases.
I don't like not having maths symbols and the Greek alphabet but it is
better than nothing. Some of us did exchange messages wondering why we had
ASCII and ANSI imposed on us in the 1980s. Prior to that, the 1970s minis
and mainframes could give you all the maths symbols you wanted.
I blame Bill Gates.
