# Book Review: The Working Timex Sinclair 2068

“[The Working Timex Sinclair 2068](http://localhost/book/the-working-timex-sinclair-2068/)” is a very commendable effort to supply the 2068 user with a “library” of useful programs. Each of the six chapters covers a different area of usage. A rather unique index references module numbers rather than page numbers, as all the programs are in the “modular” style.

Chapter 1 contains “UNIFILE” for handling records with a regular structure. Chapter 2 contains three financial programs, “BUDGET”, “ACCOUNTANT”, and “BANKER”. Chapter 3 is on the subJect of Graphics, containing five programs which allow one to define characters and store them in a “dictionary”, create and store pictures, an “ancient Chinese” game, and a design program that allows one to view their creations in various scales and and to rotate all or part of the designs on the screen. Chapter 4 contains three educational programs. Chapter 5 is a collection of “utilities” which include a line renumber and an advanced modification of the “Unifile” Program from Chapter 1. Chapter 6 is devoted to “fun and games”.
