And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed. But Moses' hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun. —Exodus 11:11, 12

Computer programming is a continual activity, with an emphasis upon communication and navigation. Two applications are currently under development:

One-Liner Program - A packet radio procedure for sending one-line, unconnected (unproto) messages to individuals or many recipients. Ideal for announcing severe weather or other emergency information. For MS-DOS and Kantronics TNCs. To immediately enjoy one-line packet communication, download the instructions, then the program (52 kilobytes).

Coordinate Plotting Utility - Locates geographic coordinates within any text string, either input through a serial port or from a disk file, then plots the location on transparent maps laid over an LCD screen. Over 70 ways people normally phrase latitude and longitude are recognized, including NMEA output from a GPS receiver. You are invited to develop your own CPU applications after downloading the instructions, then the program (68 kilobytes).
