    Do any of you have an algorithm or code (preferably assembler) for the
arctangent function?  The inputs are two signed two-byte integers and the
output is a one-byte angle in pseudodegrees (256 pseudodegrees = 1 rotation).

    Do any of you know if Apple's "DOS Tool Kit" subtitled "Programming
Utilities" was (and is) freeware?  This is a disk from apple with a high res
character generator, the "maxwell" demo, and a number of other things.  I
recently unearthed a copy.

I'm looking for a grad school or a job as a research assistant where I can work
on tethers for space propulsion or robotics, in particular, walking machines.
