SOFTWARE DESCRIPTIONS
PHOTO-REALISTIC LABORATORY SIMULATIONS
WORK IN PROGRESS: A new lab simulation--Calorimetry--has recently been completed. I have been experimenting with an idea for writing a new Energy Simulator where several laptops would serve as control panels driving a single display for a more interactive classroom/lab use. I am always open to ideas for new lab simulations.
NOTE TO MAC OS-X USERS. TrueBasic (c) has failed (to date) to produce an OS-X version of their language package (but with new owners, there is still hope). The Mac versions offered here must be run in 9.x emulation mode OR you could run the Windows versions in Windows emulation mode. With newer Macs and newer operating systems not offering the 'Classic' option, my support of the Mac may be severely reduced [I recently had to refuse a new MacBook because it will not support the Classic mode.] I will maintain the MacOS library for those who can use it, but the future probably points to needing to use Windows emulation to run this software. Sorry, but blame Apple for lack of legacy support.
