User friendly micro computer program for solving fractional and linear programming problems

Fractional Linear Programming (FLP) has many applications in management science as well as in engineering. We have developed a microcomputer program to solve linear and FLP problems. It is written in TURBO PASCAL which can be used on a wide variety of microcomputers. Because data entry constitutes a large proportion of the total computer solution time, careful attention has been placed on the human factors of human-computer interaction in that stage of program development. A test example is presented to demonstrate the usefulness of this program.
