The program CHAOS has been mainly developed as a didactic tool i.e., as a heuristic aid for designing organic syntheses in such a manner that the student may use it, at his own pace, at different levels following the heuristic principles and methodologies developed in the present book. Two versions of CHAOS, one for IBM PCs (or "fully compatible" PCs) with Windows 3.1 or later, and another one for Macintosh computers are available. A summary of some of the main improvements of the present versions follows ... 

CHAOSBASE. A program for introducing new disconnections to CHAOS The CHAOSBASE program, like CHAOS, is offered in two versions one for IBM PCs (or fully compatible PCs) with Windows , and another for Macintosh computers. CHAOSBASE allows to create transforms that can be subsequently used by CHAOS. Thus, the user can dispose of disconnections considered necessary, and that CHAOS does not perform. 

Version for Macintosh computers. To execute the programs in this version, you need a Macintosh computer with a 6.0.7. or later operating system and a hard disk with at least one Megabyte free. 

If a laboratory needs to share information across a base of users, a standard Ethernet network is provided. This allows file sharing between systems. PCs, Macintosh computers and other workstations can be used as extra terminals. Networking allows the user to ... 

Since the development of software is extremely quick, no versions are indicated. Most of the software is available for PC as well as for Macintosh computers. 

If the program is run on a Macintosh computer, then it will start processing immediately. However, it will obviously not complete the program until the last entry is made (the value of the extra column dispersion). The data is entered sequentially on request from statements given on the computer screen. On completion, the results are sent to the printer and an example of a computer print out is given below. ...

Once the toxicity parameters were computed to a spreadsheet yielding a table of 30 rows (effluents) and 9 columns (bioassays), we ran a principal component analysis (PCA) to check the diversity patterns of effluents and the correlation between tests. The PCA calculations were carried out using the ADE 3.6 statistical package on a Macintosh computer. ADE was developed by the University of Lyon II and by the French National Centre of Scientific Research (CNRS) common biometry laboratory. The new version ADE version 4 running on Mac and PC computers is now available on this university s internet site at http //pbil.univ-lvon 1. fr/ADE-4/... 

Positioning systems can use a network communication configuration, where the components operate as nodes on a network. Network communications protocols include ARCnet, CANbus, DeviceNet (a version of CANbus), Ethernet, PROFIBUS, IEEE 1394 (FireWire), IEEE 1451, Interbus-S, SERCOS, and Seriplex, among others. PC bus-type protocols include the normal backplane ISA/EISA (PC-XT/AT) connection for a PC, MAC PCI (Nubus) for Macintosh computers, Multibus, PC 104, PCI bus, cPCI bus (compact PCI), PCMCIA, VME bus, and VXI. 

New concepts in software are revolutionizing computing. The Macintosh computer and its easy-to-use icon-based software bring computing to virtually anyone willing to sit at the computer and try. We hear of four-year-old children using computers in ways that many of us could not have done 10 years ago without considerable training. 

Traditionally data, properties, information etc has been stored in files on computer disks. More recently, it has become common practice on Macintosh computers, when using Microsoft software or some UNIX applications, to use either extensions to the file name or the first few bytes in the file (or another file) to indicate some aspects of the data, for example that it is suitable for Microsoft Excel. While this approach is practical to indicate something about files containing columns of data, it is not appropriate to store information about the values in cells in spreadsheet or how it relates to data in other columns. This requires a relational database such as ORACLE, and for performance reasons the values in the cells may only be accessed via the ORACLE API (Application Programming Interface) or SQL (Standard Query Language), in other words, it is suggested that relational databases such as ORACLE should be viewed as sophisticated file systems which allow the values to be organised, efficiently stored, rapidly retrieved etc. 

Formal retirement of obsolete mass spectrometry and Macintosh computer hardware... 

A mixed environment will be operated for a transition period where data are acquired by sample control running on a Macintosh but all data processing and quantification are run on the Analyst. In the future, after retirement of all Macintosh computers, there will be an environment that is only Analyst running on Windows NT. 

They only work on a PowerMac, therefore the objective of retiring all Macintosh computers carmot be realized as at least one is required to nm the data conversion utilities. 

Automatix produces automated image analysis packages comprising data collection, spreadsheet analysis and charting to be used with the Macintosh computer. This has been used, in conjunction with ancillary equipment, to produce a computer digital analysis system [137] for around 4,000 [138]. Later, a more sophisticated system, costing around 20,000, was described for digital examination of film.

Both the vertical and horizontal sphere displacements can be measured using a photoelectric sensor. During the wear experiments the fiictional and the normal forces, the vertical (linear wear) and horizontal sphere displacement, as well as the electrochemical parameters (current and potential) is continuously monitored using a Macintosh computer ruiuiing on LabView-Language-based software developed in LMCH of the EPFL.
