Each program is to be used with ABasic and should be imported to Avigo as a memo with ".b" after its title. The programs are intuitive and need little explanation. As you use them, you will discover their features, but here are a few notes:

BillCalc calculates each person's precise share of a shared bill. This revised version enhances the user interface, adds some new features, and refines and corrects the computation formulas.

1. Entering 0 at "Enter Bill Subtotal" will take you to a "Notes" screen.

2. The subtotal is the amount of the complete bill before taxes.

3. If you input 0 for the tax percent, it will default to 8.5%. To change the default, replace the number in the line "if b!=0 th. b!=8.5" before compiling in Abasic. 

4. The program computes the actual tip percentage based on the tip you input. This percentage will be applied to each diner's total.

5. The program will accommodate up to five individual diners.

DiscountCalc calculates the discount price or discount percent of an item, its tax, and their total and displays the savings.

1. Entering 0 at "Enter Regular Price" will take you to a "Notes" screen.

2. If you input 0 for the tax percent, it will default to 8.25%. To change the default, replace the number in the line "if b!=0 th. b!=8.25" before compiling in Abasic.

FoodCalc calculates the price per unit of up to five items or calculates the percent of fat grams in up to five foods.

Suggestions and comments are welcome.
