Appendix F
Technical Notes
Every effort has been made to ensure that all calculations in the report are correct; however, it is possible in a document of this length and complexity that a typographical or other error may have escaped detection.
The calculations described in Chapters 4, 7, and 9 were conducted using the MULTIPLAN© spread sheet program, Version 1 (Microsoft Corporation, 10700 Northup Way, Bellevue, WA 98004), run on an IBM Personal Computer (International Business Machines, Boca Raton, FL 33432). The program requires 64K of memory.
Inquiries regarding templates for these calculations for use with the MULTIPLAN© program should be directed to
