The authors' abstract states: ``A PASCAL program which calculates volumes and surface areas of structures consisting of overlapping spheres is designed. The calculation is done by modelling the structure in the memory of a computer and then scanning the memory bit- or bytewise. A brief discussion of the error is presented, and an example for testing the algorithm is provided.'' The idea has a trivial but original background. The complete program listing and the error discussion are of special interest.
