PROGRAMMER'S MANUAL FOR COMPUTER PROGRAMS INVOLVED IN A STUDY OF RESCUE BOAT PERFORMANCE FOR SELECTED COMMERCIAL VESSEL CASUALTIES

This volume presents the Programmer's Manual which describes the computer programs used to develop performance criteria for rescue boats involved in commercial vessel casualties. The casualties addressed are the Man Overboard and Abandon Ship for nine different types of casualties. Report No. CG-D-7-78 presents a detailed discussion of the overall study. Both simulations, i.e., the Man Overboard Simulation and the Abandon Ship Simulation, are written in BASIC. Both simulations are intended to run on a micro or minicomputer system and were specifically developed for use on a Wang 2200 System.
