Sinclair Radionics          {Sinclair Research}
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
Sinclair Research          A British microelectronics developer and       manufacturer.   Evolving from Sinclair Radionics in 1979,       Sinclair Research was owned by Sir {Clive Sinclair}.   Sinclair       Radionics produced electronic components and devices (such as       calculators and pocket radios and televisions), but Sinclair       Research began by producing some of the first {8-bit} home       {microcomputers}.          Sinclair produced five microcomputers from 1980 to 1987, all       based on the {Zilog Z80} {microprocessor} (except for the       {QL}, which used the {Motorola 68008} - a variant on the       {68000}).   The 1K kit-build {ZX80}, introduced in 1980, was       followed by the 1K {ZX81} (expandable to 16K) in 1981, the 16K       (expandable to 48K) {ZX Spectrum} in 1982 (then superseded by       two distinct 48K models and a 128K model in 1986) and the {QL}       (Quantum Leap) in 1984.   A portable {laptop computer}, the       {Z88}, was released in 1987 under the {Cambridge Computers}       banner.          Of them all, the ZX Spectrum was the best known, and it went       on to become the most popular microcomputer of its time in the       United Kingdom and in many other territories.   This was partly       due to its ease of use, and also due to its enormous       {software} catalogue, covering games, {word processing},       music, {programming} and {graphics}.   Glorious       "mine's-better-than-yours" battles were fought (and still are       today) between owners of Spectrums and {Commodore 64}s over       who had the best machine.          Sir Clive's financial problems in the mid-80s led him to sell       the rights to the Sinclair brand to {Amstrad} in April 1986.       This led to further models of the Spectrum being released from       1986 to 1988 and also an {IBM} {PC}-compatible based       internally on Amstrad's own PC range.   Sir Clive was not       involved with the production of these computers, and no       computer with the Sinclair name has been produced since.          {Home (http://www.sinclair-research.co.uk/)}.       {Planet Sinclair (http://www.nvg.ntnu.no/sinclair/)}.       {comp.sys.sinclair FAQ       (http://www.kendalls.demon.co.uk/cssfaq/)}.          (1998-12-09)

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
singleton variable          A {variable} which is only referred to once in a       piece of code, probably because of a programming mistake.   To       be useful, a variable must be set and read from, in that       order.   If it is only referred to once then it cannot be both       set and read.          There are various exceptions.   {C}-like {assignment       operators}, e.g. "x += y", read and set x and return its new       value (they are abbreviations for "x = x+y", etc).   A       {function} {argument} may be passed only for the sake of       uniformity or to support future enhancements.   A good       {compiler} or a {syntax} checker like {lint} should report       singleton variables but also allow specific instances to be       marked as deliberate by the programmer.          (1997-12-20)

After years of    foot-dragging, the government finally passed a liberalized labor code    which should significantly help lower the cost of labor and improve    the manufacturing sector's competitiveness. Inroads also have been    made in closing tax loopholes and eliminating monopoly power in    several sectors. At the same time the government is holding the line    on current fiscal expenditure under the watchful eyes of international    organizations on which it depends for substantial support. A bumper    peanut crop - Senegal's main source of foreign exchange - coincided    with an improvement of international prices and probably resulted in a    doubling of earnings in 1994 over 1993. The country's narrow resource    base, environmental degradation, and untamed population growth will    continue to hold back growth in living standards over the medium term.       National product: GDP - purchasing power parity - $12.3 billion (1993    est.)       National product real growth rate: -2% (1993 est.)       National product per capita: $1,450 (1993 est.)       Inflation rate (consumer prices): -1.8% (1991 est.)       Unemployment rate: NA%       Budget:    revenues: $1.2 billion    expenditures: $1.2 billion, including capital expenditures of $269    million (1992 est.)       Exports: $904 million (f.o.b., 1991 est.)    commodities: fish, ground nuts (peanuts), petroleum products,    phosphates, cotton    partners: France, other EC countries, Cote d'Ivoire, Mali       Imports: $1.2 billion (c.i.f., 1991 est.)    commodities: foods and beverages, consumer goods, capital goods,    petroleum    partners: France, other EC countries, Nigeria, Cote d'Ivoire, Algeria,    China, Japan       External debt: $2.9 billion (1990)       Industrial production: growth rate 1.9% (1991); accounts for 15% of    GDP       Electricity:    capacity: 230,000 kW    production: 720 million kWh    consumption per capita: 79 kWh (1993)       Industries: agricultural and fish processing, phosphate mining,    petroleum refining, building materials       Agriculture: accounts for 20% of GDP; major products - peanuts (cash    crop), millet, corn, sorghum, rice, cotton, tomatoes, green    vegetables; estimated two-thirds self-sufficient in food; fish catch    of 354,000 metric tons in 1990       Illicit drugs: transshipment point for Southwest and Southeast Asian    heroin moving to Europe and North America       Economic aid:    recipient: US commitments, including Ex-Im (FY70-89), $551 million;    Western (non-US) countries, ODA and OOF bilateral commitments    (1970-89), $5.23 billion; OPEC bilateral aid (1979-89), $589 million;    Communist countries (1970-89), $295 million       Currency: 1 CFA franc (CFAF) = 100 centimes       Exchange rates: Communaute Financiere Africaine francs (CFAF) per US$1    - 529.43 (January 1995), 555.20 (1994), 283.16 (1993), 264.69 (1992),    282.11 (1991), 272.26 (1990)    note: the official rate is pegged to the French franc, and beginning    12 January 1994, the CFA franc was devalued to CFAF 100 per French    franc from CFAF 50 at which it had been fixed since 1948       Fiscal year: calendar year       Senegal:Transportation       Railroads:    total: 905 km    narrow gauge: 905 km 1.000-meter gauge (70 km double track)       Highways:    total: 14,007 km    paved: 3,777 km    unpaved: crushed stone, improved earth 10,230 km       Inland waterways: 897 km total; 785 km on the Senegal, 112 km on the    Saloum       Ports: Dakar, Kaolack, Matam, Podor, Richard-Toll, Saint-Louis,    Ziguinchor       Merchant marine:    total: 1 bulk ship (1,000 GRT or over) totaling 1,995 GRT/3,775 DWT       Airports:    total: 24    with paved runways over 3,047 m: 1    with paved runways 1,524 to 2,437 m: 9    with paved runways 914 to 1,523 m: 1    with paved runways under 914 m: 2    with unpaved runways 1,524 to 2,438 m: 4    with unpaved runways 914 to 1,523 m: 7       Senegal:Communications       Telephone system: NA telephones; above-average urban system    local: NA    intercity: microwave and cable    international: 3 submarine cables; 1 INTELSAT (Atlantic Ocean) earth    station       Radio:    broadcast stations: AM 8, FM 0, shortwave 0    radios: NA       Television:    broadcast stations: 1    televisions: NA       Senegal:Defense Forces       Branches: Army, Navy, Air Force, National Gendarmerie, National Police    (Surete Nationale)       Manpower availability: males age 15-49 2,021,019; males fit for    military service 1,054,855; males reach military age (18) annually    96,589 (1995 est.)       Defense expenditures: exchange rate conversion - $134 million, 2.1% of    GDP (1993)
