Box Clever

[jana1301]

I'm completely stuck on these: Movable selling booth (5); Storage for fixing and making gadgets (7); A computer subroutine that mainly calls other subroutines (7).

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

1 kiosk?

2 toolbox

Thank you mallyh and bookbinder. Two down and one to go. I think I'll not be the only one stuck.

package? Not really I know

3 Library?

[Tuvok]

I assume that the answers have to be box related?

[Tuvok]

I can see how FF got package

The subroutine one was asked here but I am not sure it was resolved

TTT might know the answer if he sees this- it's an area he worked in

[jana1301]

I did some thinking and digging about on computer info about the computer subroutine question, and I agree with Tilly2 - I think "library" is answer.

Thank you very much all of you who have taken time to post their answers. Greatly appreciated.

Fortran calls subroutines, but I wouldn't really call it a subroutine in itself.

From my experience a library is a collection of subroutines which are called directly ie, not via a library call. Where I worked we had a library of mathematical subroutines. If the program you were using required any of the routines you loaded the library, if not you left it out to save space, which was very valuable in the early days of computing. Having said that I can't think of a better answer.

My advisor believes Packet may fit.

Network packet - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_packet
A network packet is a formatted unit of data carried by a packet-switched network. A packet consists of control information and user data, which is also known as ...

Davemano - not enough letters. In any case "packet" is concerned with data movement, not subroutines.

[bhg481]

Having thought about this overnight I think "Control" is the best I can come up with. We always called it the "main routine" but "Control Routine" would be an option. Also has 7 letters.

[fiction-factory]

I think the answer has to relate directly to boxes- eg case, kiosk, toolbox, trunk

[bhg481]

ff - I'd forgotten that bit. Back to square one.

library sounds good it holds books etc x

3,Mailbox ?

[bhg481]

There is an argument for "Program" but that doesn't fit the "Box" criterion either.
