Chapter 8 — Index

The printed Sixth Edition ended with a page-number index. Page numbers are meaningless in this Markdown edition, so the index below preserves the original topics and See/See Also cross-references, but points to chapters instead of pages. Chapter links: 1 — Program Description, 2 — Program Input, 3 — Program Output, 4 — Calculation Method, 5 — Tutorial, 6 — Messages, 7 — Technical References.
