The Electronic Technician is a collection of programs by the famous Tony
Anderson, sysop of the M100SIG on Compuserve.  Below is the README.DO file from

File Descriptions:

CALNDR.BA: Program displays current month's calendar, day and clock time on the
screen, with the current day in reverse video.

DBCALC.BA: Program provides a number of power, decibel and voltage calculations
and conversions from user input. Function selected by menu.

DBPADS.BA: Program calculates values for DB Pads in three configurations, Pi,
Unbalanced T, and Balanced H.  Db loss, as well as input and output impedances
of the pads may be specified.  Screen Graphics.

D-741.BA: Program "designs" inverting and non-inverting audio circuits for
specified values of gain, based on the 741 Opamp.  Screen graphics.

MLPADS.BA: Program calculates minimum loss matching pads between unequal
impedances.  Screen graphics.

NCV.BA: Program provides the nearest (standard) common value of resistor to a
value specified by the user.

NETS.BA: Program calculates resistor values and db loss for divider/combining
networks between equal impedances.

OHMS.BA: Program calculates/displays four ohms law values, voltage, resistance,
current and power, given any two of the four values.

PARRES.BA: Program calculates net value of any number of resistors connected in
parallel.

R-DIV.BA: Program calculates values for common voltage divider based on user's
input.  Screen graphics.

R-DROP.BA: Program calculates value and wattage for voltage dropping resistors
based on user input.

R-LED.BA: Program calculates value of voltage dropping resistor for use with an
LED based on user input.

R-REG.BA: Program calculates and displays circuit and values for changing
output voltage of 78xx-series, 3-leg voltage dividers.  Screen graphics.

WHATVL.BA: Program calculates value of parallel resistances needed to obtain a
specific value in the form, "What value of resistor, placed in parallel with
`x' ohms will give me `y' ohms?"

AMPS.DO: A text list of the ampacities of common wire sizes as given by the
Audio Cyclopedia, Radio Amateur's Handbook, and 1990 National Electric Code

DCTBL.DO: A decimal conversion table, giving values in fractions, decimal value
(100ths), and milimeters for fractions between 1/64th inch and one inch by
64ths.

MULTI.DO: List of common wiring color code conventions for (up to) 15-pair
multi-conductor Belden cable.

Ok, so there's more than a dozen...  Enjoy.
