The computer program listed below seeks to solve simultaneously the following six equations:
1 -X(1) - k1 * X(1) * X(6)+ kr1 * X(4)=0,
1 - X(2) - k2 * X(2) * X(6))+ kr2 * X(5)=0,
- X(3) + 2 * k3 * X(4) * X(5)=0,
k1 * X(1) * X(6) - kr1 * X(4) - k3 * X(4) * X(5)=0,
1.5 * (k2 * X(2) * X(6) - kr2 * X(5)) - k3 * X(4) * X(5)=0,
1 - X(4) - X(5) - X(6)=0.
These six equations are from Shacham [83, p. 1463, Expression 21.2]. One notes that 117 k1 = 17.721: kr1 = 6.966: k2 = .118: kr2 = 333.333: k3 = 505.051 shows the parameter values on p. 1464 of Shacham [83, p. 1464, Table II, the last column].
One notes that line 121 below is again 121 A(J44) = FIX(RND * 6).

Above there is no rounding by hand; it is just straight copying by hand from the monitor screen. On a personal computer with a Processor Intel (R) Core (TM) 2 Duo CPU E8400 @ 3.0 GHz 3.0 GHz, 4.00 GB of RAM (3.9 GB usable), 64-bit Operating System, and QB64v1000-win [106], the wall-clock time (not CPU time) for obtaining the output through JJJJ = -31979 was 4 seconds, counting from "Starting program...". One can compare the computational results above with those on p. 1465 of Shacham [83, Table VI].
