Revision 2. </p> <p>This is not for the big guns, but for the Amateur coder AND radio enthusiast.</p> <p>It is a DEMO Morse Code Generator and tutor that will generate the tones required for the original standard letters A to Z and numbers 0 to 9. Puctuation is NOT included but hey it is SOOOO simple to modify the code that I will let you, (the ones interested), do that for yourselves... ;o) Read the code for more informaton.</p> <p>It is for at least standard text mode Python 2.5.2 to 2.7.2 using PCLinuxOS 2009 and Debian 6.0.0.

Revision 3. </p> <p>Economic order quantity (EOQ) model is used in stock control by many companies rather than other stock control systems such as the Just-in-Time model. Though, ACCA’s students will benefit from this program while preparing their ACCA course and exam in financial management towards their ACCA professional qualification, yet financial management professionals already holding posts within companies using this system will be able to compare different sets of item quantities and rates to reduce their company’s total cost of holding and ordering such items.</p>
