SIRILIC 

Current version: 1.04
(July 2002)

Documentation:
dated 31-Jul-2002




























 microSIRIL has long been the "Gold Standard" for peal proving programs and uses a proof engine PROVE.COM written by Sam Wilmott and based on programs & algorithms by Andrew Craddock & Hamish McNaughton.

SIRILIC uses the same input files as microSIRIL, adds a few extra features, and can run PROVE.COM in the background as a double check

It has the following features:

* It is FREE .. well, postcardware actually, a postcard showing any tower in "Dove" to Steve *
* Up to 16 bells *
* Provides a Windows front end to microSIRIL *
* Spawns microSIRIL to check it creates IDENTICAL output (on up to 12 bells) *
* Can search for musical groups of changes of your choice *
* Can identify which leads of each method each bell rings, to check for "atw" *
* Can "prove" 1440s, 5040s of Minor, 10,080s Triples etc. *

microSIRIL method libraries (look for the MSLIBS.ZIP file)

Thinks .. isn't progress wonderful .. Andrew devised microSiRiL for a 2MHz BBC computer & PROVE.COM is 4k bytes, but SIRILIC weighs in at over 500k bytes!
