Remarks:

"Wa-Tor" was based on a "Computer Recreations" piece in Scientific American (from which I used to get some of my best ideas...). It's a predator vs. prey simulator, kind of like "Life" but way cooler. You have to populate a planet with fish and sharks... the idea being to keep both species alive on a long-term basis. This uses Nissim Elmaleh's "SHR" for the cover screen and graphing routines, being before the days (1985) when Wilf's WRX16 routines really took off. Program is pretty much self-documenting.
