Dear Potential Employer;

I am a Computer Science Master graduate from the University of Manitoba.
I have great desire, and will work hard for your company. I am looking
for a position where I will use all my skills, and which is challenging.
I would enjoy working in a XWindows development group.

Part of my experience so far is two summers as a research assistant programming
two fish simulators on SUN UNIX SPARCstations. I use Xwindows extensively in
my everyday work and have programmed using the XView and Xlib packages. For 
the past one year I have taught myself C++ and object-oriented techniques while
designing and implementing a visual programming language as part of my masters
thesis --- which consists of approximately 9000 lines of C++ code. This thesis
required me to use a variety of software on MS-DOS, Macintosh and UNIX systems.
I have also written compilers and translators from scratch and using the UNIX
tools LEX and YACC. I have spent time programming on Macintosh and using 
software on UNIX, Macintosh and MS-DOS systems.

If my skills are to your liking, please contact me. I would be glad to attend
an interview with your corporation. My present address and phone number are
at the top of this letter.





Sincerely,


Salik Rafiq

			DETAILED EMPLOYMENT RECORD

9/91-12/91 - DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTER SCIENCE
UNIVERSITY OF MANITOBA

Employed part-time (four hours per week) to continue work on the fish growth
system that I worked on during my summer employment.  Made enhancments to the
Multitank fish simulator. Added a fish density-meter which measured grams of
fish per litre of water. Also added postscript printing ability of the graphs
to the Multitank fish simulation system.

5/91-7/91 - DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTER SCIENCE
UNIVERSITY OF MANITOBA

Continued work from previous summer.  Worked on graphic charting routines for
the singlefish growth system. Added routines which plotted line charts for
the different variables involved in the simulation. The ability to print these
graphs to a postscript printer was also added. Added a logging system to the
multi-fish growth system. This echoed, in text form, to a file command 
equivalents of the changes performed using the GUI.

7/90-8/90 - DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTER SCIENCE
UNIVERSITY OF MANITOBA

Employed to continue work on a system that simulated fish growth in tanks
under controlled conditions. The system was developed on SUN SPARCstation 1's
using the C language and the XView tool kit. Majority of work involved the
creation of graphics routines using Xlib graphics to display fish distribution
in each tank using histograms. As well routines to print growth statistics
textually to a text frame for each tank were added. An interface to control
the appearances of the graphs were also developed.

5/87-8/87 MANITOBA TELEPHONE SYSTEM

Employed as a programmer in the Network Planning section. Developed programs
in Dbase III to aid in the tracking of telephone trunk lines. Work involved
developing several programs which converted data supplied electronically from
a mini-computer into Dbase format. Also developed a program to convert
telephone traffic data supplied in Lotus 1-2-3 format to Dbase format. All
programs had simple forms type interfaces for ease of use by the user. All
work was performed on an IBM PC/AT computer running MSDOS.
