WATCOM News University of Waterloo Have Created a Joint Venture to Provide Distribution and Customer Support of Software Products May 1984 Editor: J.B.Schueler The WATCOM Group and the Welcome to WATCOM News University of Waterloo have created a joint venture to provide distribution and customer support of software products. WATCOM Products has been formed to provide these services both for the Computer Systems Group at the University of Waterloo and for WATCOM Systems Inc. The formation of WATCOM Products reflects a decision by both groups to expand and improve their customer service and support activities. WATCOM Products will assume the responsibility for the services currently handled by WATSOFT Products Inc. I am pleased that Sandra Ward, Angie Rohrbacher, Cindy Pfisterer and Dagmar McIntosh will be associated with WATCOM Products to assist us in our new endeavours and to provide continued and expanded support to our current customers. I hope this first newsletter will provide an introduction to our company and to some of the exciting new activities in Waterloo. The newsletter will replace the current newsletters of the Computer Systems Group (WATNEWS) and of WATCOM Systems (InfoWat). Our intent is to make the newsletter interesting in a general sense, as well as informative about our products. Yours truly, it/. James W. Welch, President of WATCOM Products (left) with K. Ian McPhee, President of The WATCOM Group (right) James W. Welch, WATCOM Products Inc. WATCOM Products Inc. markets software developed by the University of Waterloo's Computer Systems Group (CSG) and by WATCOM Systems Inc., a member company in The WATCOM Group. For over two decades the Computer Systems Group has been producing software that has been widely accepted by universities and colleges throughout the world. In the last few years, WATCOM, whose roots are in the Computer Systems Group, has been producing software with similar success and acceptance. Long standing successful products developed by the Computer Systems Group includeWATFIV, WATBOL, ASMG, TRACE, WATERLOO SCRIPT, WIDJET, WATFOR-11, WATBOL-11, Waterloo BASIC, Waterloo Pascal and Waterloo Systems Language (WSL).

  • A Study on Various Programming Languages to Keep Pace with Innovation
    S.Sridhar* et al. (IJITR) INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY AND RESEARCH Volume No.5, Issue No.2, February – March 2017, 5681-5704. A Study On Various Programming Languages To Keep Pace With Innovation S.SRIDHAR Professor & Director RV Centre for Cognitive & Central Computing R.V.College of Engineering, Mysore Road Bangalore-560059 India Abstract: A programming language is a formal computer language designed to communicate instructions to a machine, particularly a computer. Programming languages can be used to create programs to control the behaviour of a machine or to express algorithms. The earliest known programmable machine preceded the invention of the digital computer and is the automatic flute player described in the 9th century by the brothers Musa in Baghdad, "during the Islamic Golden Age". From the early 1800s, "programs" were used to direct the behavior of machines such as Jacquard looms and player pianos. Thousands of different programming languages have been created, mainly in the computer field, and many more still are being created every year. Many programming languages require computation to be specified in an imperative form (i.e., as a sequence of operations to perform) while other languages use other forms of program specification such as the declarative form (i.e. the desired result is specified, not how to achieve it). The description of a programming language is usually split into the two components of syntax (form) and semantics (meaning). Some languages are defined by a specification document (for example, the C programming language is specified by an ISO Standard) while other languages (such as Perl) have a dominant implementation that is treated as a reference.

  • Application of Microcomputers 1N Bridge Design
    Transportation Research Record 1072 15 Application of Microcomputers 1n Bridge Design RONALD A. LOVE, FURMAN W. BARTON, and WALLACE T. McKEEL, Jr. ABSTRACT The use of microcomputers in bridge design activities in state transportation departments was evaluated through contacts with 32 state agencies. Although pres­ ent use of microcomputers was found to be 1 imi tea, subsequent research showed that the current generation of 16-bit machines offers significant advantages in complementing existing computing facilities in a manner that fully uses the power of both mainframe and microcomputer. The ability of microcomputers to run large bridge design applications in a stand-alone mode was demonstrated by successfully downloading and converting four mainframe programs. Running design and analysis programs in a stand-alone mode frees the mainframe CPU and increases access to software that can be run repetitively without consideration of mainframe costs. When access to larger applications on the mainframe is required, the microcomputer used as an intelligent terminal can process input data locally and send them to the mainframe for processing. Output data, in return, can be downloaded to the microcomputer and reviewed off-line or input into microcomputer applications such as spreadsheets or graphics packages for further processing. Computer applications in engineering design have had preferred alternative for using much of the bridge a dramatic effect on the analysis and design process design software available.

There were many great, impor­ tant, and powerful leaders of Bazunia who carefully cultivated an enormous fear of Vossnia. Over and over again these important and powerful leaders of Bazunia would say to their fellow coun­ trymen, "You can't trust the Vossnians." And in Vossnia there was a group of great, important, and powerful leaders who pointed out what dangerous military activities the Bazunians were carrvinQ on, and how Vossnia had to be militarily strong to counteract them. The Bazunian leaders persuaded their countrymen to vote to give them enormous sums of money to construct something called the Ballistic Missile Early Warning System, and one of its The Fly, the Spider, and the Hornet stations was installed in a land called Grunelandt far to the north of Bazunia.
