Promula Application Development System User's Manual
The source code of a PROMULA application can be broken into separate parts, compiled independently, and then united
and used as a smoothly integrated system. This capability is most useful for the implementation of applications with
extensive memory requirements.
If your variables are too large or there are too many for your work space, you can store them on disk. PROMULA's variable
manager lets you bring only what you need into your work space.
1.3.17 Dynamic Simulation
PROMULA has several features which facilitate the implementation of dynamic simulation applications. You can develop
system dynamics models — models of systems whose variables interact with each other continuously as they evolve over
time.
1.3.18 Windows
PROMULA's powerful windowing commands allow you to modify the appearance of the screen to create professionallooking and user-friendly applications. Custom-designed help screens, popup menus, and flexible color control will
improve the appearance and usability of your programs.
1.3.19 Mathematical and Statistical Functions
PROMULA supports a library of mathematical and statistical functions as well as a number of array (matrix) operations,
such as summation, product, minimum/maximum, sorting, etc.
1.3.20 Command-Line Recall
A buffer stores all commands entered at the keyboard so that they may easily be recalled for modification and reentry. This
feature greatly enhances the utility of PROMULA's Command Mode and its Text and Data Editors.
1.3.21 Multi-platform Performance
PROMULA runs on most of the major computer platforms including IBM/MSDOS, VAX/VMS, Apple Macintosh,
IBM/AIX, SUN/UNIX, IBM/TSO, and platforms supporting the X Window System. Your PROMULA applications can be
used, without modification, wherever PROMULA runs.
