---

The following program (pat) is brought to you courtesy or JARB Software. It is psychic aptitude Test it format, and is a lot of fun to see how psychic you might be.

Note that by comparison to QUIZ, the program itself is pretty short --from lines 10 to 290, and a great deal of that is instruction.

You should also note that this one is more gee-whiz than is QUIZ. It employs the use of sounds and colors to a greater degree than does QUIZ. That certainly will make it more appealing to younger test-takers.

PAT is easily adaptable to other uses, particularly school review. It does require that the student go through from start to finish, but more than makes up for it by the colors and sounds.

For those of you who do not want to type in the program (and then debug the typos), PAT can be ordered from JARB Software, 1169 Florida St., Imperial Beach, CA 92032 for $14.93 Plus $1 for shipping. You'll set a Bonus though, a copy of JARB BIORHYTHM included on the same tape. Although JARB chief programmer Joe Bennett promises us a copy of JARB BIORHYTHN for a future issue of the RAINBOW, it’s a long program and he emphasizes the bargain in sending off for the tape.
