Here's a little gem for the tipplers amongst us! The program lists 102 different cocktails - imagine, you have to get through 102 recipes before you start to repeat yourself!

Enter the contents of your drinks cabinet and, after going into a trance, the computer will list the cocktails you can made from your stock of drinks.

A second option gives an alphabetical list of all 102 recipes. Browse through the list, using 999 to call the next page, and then enter the number of the cocktail you want to make. The computer will list the recipe of your choice.

The program is supplied on cassette, complete with a clear and well-written set of User Notes. All this means there should be no problems in getting up and running.

Written entirely in Basic, program ARRAYs are LOADed from DATA statements so initialisation and searches can be on the slow side. Don't let this worry you as the program RUNs well and is a pleasure to use - especially after the fourth recipe!

Good value for money and entertaining as well. Not bad going for a utility program.
