          development if this form of life had developed 500 million
          years earlier, with special attention to its probable
          effects on the English Parliamentary system.  Prove your

                     relate?  Why?  Create a generalized algorithm to
                     optimize all management decisions.  Assuming an
                     1130 CPU supporting 50 terminals, each terminal
                     to activate your algorithm independently, design
                     the communications interface and all necessary
                     control programs.
