C-1 Programming techniques
The following Part of the Manual is intended to give a selected example to illustrate how the
more complex capabilities of the KODAK S-RA2500 Editing System can be used in order to
enhance the performance of your information programs.
C-1.1 Using the demo program
The example diskette supplied contains a demo program whose purpose is to illustrate the
instruction set of the Editing System in as practical a form as possible by showing that it can be
demonstrated in isolated form. The diskette contains the demo program in compiled form
(DEMO.RUN) and in editable form (DEMO.FRM). Use this program as a model or as a
framework for your own experiments or applications.
The following Chapter also contains the listing of this program together with comments which
will make it easy for you to follow the use of the individual instructions.
Run the program before examining the program listing. You will need two projectors (S-
RA2500) and the computer configuration described earlier - preferably including a colour
screen and a printer - in order to do this.
If you do not wish to use the printer, the demo program allows you to skip the corresponding
parts of the program.
In the last resort you may even dispense with the projectors. In this case, however, you will
have to use the demo program under Editing System control because the Editing System allows
you to make projector control signals inoperative.

If you use the projectors, they must be set to physical addresses a and b and their magazines
must be fitted but empty.
Start the runtime version of the program by placing the example diskette in drive A: of your
computer and entering the instruction RUN DEMO at DOS level and then follow the instruc-
tions in the program.
