Finally you will have all your requirements ready with a zero
waste. Don't you think it is very convenient ?. You might find it
difficult to understand the above explanations at the first time
you read. Read it several times leisurely. It is quite simple.
The best way to know about BC-40 is to use it. Try anything you
can imagine. It will give you the best solution ever. As the
number of different lengths increase, the solution will be more
economical. This program can handle up to 40 different lengths.
The program will clear the screen and ask the standard length
available. When you enter the above, the length and the
number required will be asked sequentially. You should enter
these values with a space between them.
When you have
entered all the cut sizes in the list, type "0 0" and press
ENTER. The computing will start at this moment.
Example :Standard length ? = 5.00

Some people, who badly need this type of solving method, may
not be aware of this program, or even may not have access to
a computer. It is nice of you to help them.

N.B: -> Please note that you cannot use BC-20 to find the
optimum solution when you have more than 20 lengths. For
example if you have 35 different lengths, you may feel, that
you can try 20, and 15 lengths in two sessions to find the
best solution using BC-20. But, this will never be economical
as the solution, you obtain using BC-40. Again it is a waste.
Therefore select a program that covers all your needs.
