WORK IN PROGRESS:  I will soon offer a new Energy Simulator which will operate in a manner similar to the old analog computer ‘Energy & Environment Simulator’ from the Department of Energy and Montana State University.  That is, you will be able to divide the class into as many as five groups, each with their own control panel (computer) which will feed a portion of the input to another computer which will then display the combined information and will run a simulation based on the multi-panel input.

NOTE TO MAC USERS.  TrueBasic (c) will not produce an OS-X version of their language package.  The Mac versions offered here must be run in 9.x emulation mode OR you could run the Windows versions in Windows emulation mode.  At the start of 2010 I intend to end any formal Mac support.  I will leave the legacy OS-9.x software available, but Mac users should consider running the Windows version instead.  These apparently run fine under the emulators, probably better than under OS-9.
