<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello Jamie</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1. NS chart does not use 'begin' 'end' - the begin
is the top of the diagram, the end is the bottom</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2. I have seen a number of variations on the CASE
structure, yours is one of them (although the first looks more like an
if..then.else situation, in which case it would be drawn differently; Also where
do the variables(?) 'type of event', 'number of clowns', and 'activities' come
from?)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>3. Is 'calculate' a variable? if yes, then a left
pointing arrow is used rather than the equal sign (= is used for comparision
only</FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> if no, then...?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>4. and what are 'Save, print, refresh or quit' -
they sound like user options, so if the intention is that these are to be
displayed on a screen or something then a word such as 'display' should appear
in front of this line.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hope this helps</FONT></DIV>
