'''[[Computer Software]]:''' [[Computer]]s are specified in terms of their capacity to process and store [[program]]s. All programs in the computer's [[CPU]] are processed simultaneously, while [[program]]s in storage are available on a revolving basis to replace those in the [[CPU]] as needed. For example, a [[model/1]] computer has a CPU capacity of two, and an additional storage capacity of four. The computer might have in it six programs (each of size or space one): “Return fire,” “Predict-1,” “Gunner interact,” “Auto/evade,” “Maneuver,” and “Target.” Of these six, only two (the capacity limit of the CPU) can function at any one time. {{Page cite|name= Starships|page=38|version=Classic Traveller}} | '''[[Computer Software]]:''' [[Computer]]s are specified in terms of their capacity to process and store [[program]]s.

| − | Each [[computer]] comes with a software package of programs for use with the equipment. Because each computer may be put to a different use, their software package consists of a credit in [[MCr]] equal to the model number of the [[computer]] (treat [[Model/1|1]] [[bis]] and [[Model/2|2]] [[bis]] as 1 and 2 respectively). This [[credit]] may not be converted to cash. {{Page cite|name= Starter Traveller |page= 10 }} | + | ''Standard Software Packages:'' Each [[computer]] comes with a software package of programs for use with the equipment.

Computer programs (…especially starship programs as required for starship operations) are available, athough for relatively high price. It is also possible that such programs may be written by crew members with computer skill. The individual must have access to a computer which will handle the intended program, knowledge of the skill being incorporated, and no other duties, responsibilities, or distractions during each week of work programming. {{Page cite|name= Starter Traveller |page= 13 }} | Computer programs (…especially starship programs as required for starship operations) are available, athough for relatively high price.
