The main part of this project involved using a computer, either an Apple or an IBM, as a chart recorder for the infrared (IR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrophotometers. The computer "reads" these machines and displays spectra on its monitor. The graphs can then be stored for future reference and manipulation. The program to be used for Apple is "Graphics Writer" and those to be used with IBM are "Spectrum" and "Realtime". Included with each is the documentation, listing of the program, and sample spectra. The Apple programs used the BASIC language and the IBM used PASCAL. The difficulties encountered with the Apple programs are discussed. A disk catalog is included for the graphic utilities, and the IR and NMR programs. (KR)
