Project number: 191 (number in database). Original project name: Road Database. Development type or programming language: Excel/Macro. Platform designed for/with: Mac. Year of most recent major modification: 1985.
This is a really early project and it was quite experimental - it was never used in "real life". It is an Excel spreadsheet with macros which calculates the best way to position roads. I calculates the earth which needs to be moved so that the amount needed to be moved is minimised.
If you need any further information about this project please contact me.
