Articles are in the '''3rd''' namespace if the title has this format: '''3rd:<title>'''.

This program is an extension of the Life simulation game
[[Wikipedia:Life simulation game]].
The simple life game works only on a rectangular grid of cell, and uses only the number of ihanbitad neighbors in the birth and death rules of the cells.
This contributions allows
- not only square but hexagonal cells,
- not only square but hexagonal territory,
- flexible rules based on neighbors.
- more concurrent species,
- temporary and forever poisoned places of ded organisms.

'''The Traveling Salesman Problem'''

This contribution solves the Traveling Salesman Problem with the methods of brute force and simple stepwise greedy search. the program uses several tricks of the VIP 7.5 Personal Edition.
Read at first its documentation files:
[http://franknagy.atw.hu/Tipp/TSP75/Exe/tsp.chm help file used by its dialogs] and
[http://franknagy.atw.hu/Tipp/TSP75/Exe/tsp.pdf help file describing algorithmic details and batch commands] then contact with the author [mailto:franknagy@citromail.hu Ferenc Nagy].

The program reads user input from its dialogs and from batch files containing commands having fixed column widths. The first two columns contains keyword the remaining ones contain symbols, strings, or numbers. The interactive data entry may be logged in the format of the batch input files.

The original TSP problem is generalized:
- the data sets may be two- or three dimensional,
- the coordinate system may be Cartesian or spherical.

'''Inspecting and saving of the results'''
They can be displayed in tabulated form within as child windows of the Task Window of the program.
The contents of the windows can be coped and pasted anywhere.
They can be directly saved to disk.
The solutions can be plotted as extended metafiles.

Feel free to ask me about the programming experiences.

The above picture shows its main menu and the contants of its help file.
I have got prefetched 5.25" diskettes and the articles on paper.
The diskettes contained one file for each article. My task was the drawing of the structure
----
[[Image:Gmelinpelda.png]]
----
and excerpting the data like synthesis paths, infrared spectra from the articles according to complicated rules using a program supplied by Gmelin.
The final data files must not contain errors and the individual article files had to be merged but limit of the resulting files was 80 title compound in each one.

Ferenc Nagy: Simple portable editor

== A Simple Portable Editor ==

I had the task to install programs on the computers connected to our database within the institute in the early 1990-s. It meant tapering the the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT. ''That time the built-in editors of the DOS were very user-unfriendly.''

'''Turbo Prolog, however, offered the very smart ''edit'' predicate opening an editor window.'''
This window could open auxiliary editor window.
The handling of the edited text wase based on pairs of function keys or three of them.
Like
copy block [Ctrl-F5]at block start[Ctrl-F5]at its end[Ctrl-F5]at its new place;
search and replace [F4]sought text[F4]replacement[F4].
'''The above function keys allow that the sought text and the replacement contain newline characters.''' (If you press enter then a triangle appears in them and you can define line groups to change.)
The English help screens are embedded in the ''edit'' predicate. [http://franknagy.atw.hu/Tipp/Proledit/proledit.hlp.htm The Hungarian help file is available on my homepage.]
See the whole stuff at http://franknagy.atw.hu/Tipp/Proledit/index.html.
[http://franknagy.atw.hu/Tipp/Proledit/index.html Main screen of the program on my homepage containing links to the executable program and sample screens.]

There you can see that the program starts with color selection for directory and edited file. Its command line parameter is a file name or wildcard mask for initial file selection. The mask can be changed by F4.
F10 saves the edited file. In case of pressing Esc a question appears: "File has been changed. Quit anyway (y/n)?"
