The Tattoo on a Micro-computer

D. H. Marwick and C. R. G. B. Rinaldi *

Department of Computer Science, Heriot-Watt University, 79 Grassmarket, Edinburgh, UK

The EMT system is a suite of programs implemented on a micro-computer to assist in the administrative and financial control of the Edinburgh Military Tattoo. The task of selling tickets for a number of performances once a year, and keeping track of the finances, is complicated by the fact that approximately quarter of a million seats have to be sold on a tight budget by a small but dedicated permanent staff.
