Lack of interactive capabilities and high processing cost are two main areas of complaints directed against the existing implementations of computer- aided-design packages. The minicomputer promises to remove these serious deficiencies despite its speed and storage limitations. The economics and techniques of interactive minicomputer applications are explored and an integration formula suitable for minicomputer implementation is devised. Several nonlinear networks simulated on a minicomputer are used to demonstrate the long-term stability of the formula.
