The description of ECAP, the best known and most widely used computer program, is adequate both as a programmers guide and a users manual. Sufficient information on the coding rules, coupled with a few illustrative examples, demonstrates the capability of this program.

    By contrast. NET-I and SCEPTRE (nonlinear programs) and NASAP (a symbolic flow diagram approach) are confined to a general discussion of the respective programs, with little or no information on program capabilities and limitations. Also, these articles lack coding information and accompanying programming examples.

    To summarize, with the exception of ECAP, the book treats all of the programs in a general fashion suitable only for readers interested in a cursory introduction to the subject. Furthermore, the book suffers considerably from its failure to compare these programs with one another to the point where a potential user could make an intelligent choice among them.
