Quotations
42 ;;Quote: programs for processors in automobiles must be fast, small, and reliable with high data throughput; use assembly code
43 ;;Quote: a MicroTool program is a database of organized, cross-referenced data
44 ;;Quote: MicroTool performs immediate consistency checking across all items in the program database
45 ;;Quote: in MicroTool, all control structures are single-entry, single-exit without recursion; only one level of interrupt with optional reset
45 ;;Quote: Microtool maps known dynamic stack states into static states for direct addressing
45 ;;Quote: MicroTool measures min/max execution time and stack requirements from interrupt rates and min/max iteration counts; annotated flowchart
46 ;;Quote: a parental variable allows an in-line procedure to reference its caller's local data; must match all attributes including name
46 ;;Quote: MicroTool supports physical units and checks for unit consistency
46 ;;Quote: MicroTool converts engineering values into computer values with a scale factor, bias, and treatment of fractional units
46 ;;Quote: program in MicroTool with a flowchart of single-entry, single-exit nodes
46 ;;Quote: MicroTool includes lower and upper limit operators to bound operations
47 ;;Quote: MicroTool generates declarations for each data section and code and calling sequence for each flowchart; automatic updates
48 ;;Quote: with MicroTool, difficult to modify a name's definition since its references may become inconsistent; produces an error
