No graphics, no embedded objects.

Some functions are missing, even some mathematical functions.

-

Lots more is missing.

ABOUT

This program is dedicated to Herbert Baum and the anti Nazi group with him. Most of the group was killed 1942 after attacking a propaganda exhibition. 1984 students tried to name the main building of TU Berlin after him.
