NOTICE: TWO OLDER PACKAGES, ENERGY MANAGEMENT SIMULATION AND INTRODUCTORY LAB SIMULATIONS HAVE BEEN WITHDRAWN. BOTH WERE DEVELOPED WITH TRUE BASIC WHICH HAS NOT BEEN UPDATED FOR MORE RECENT VERSIONS OF WINDOWS AND WHICH WAS MADE OBSOLETE WHEN APPLE DROPPED SUPPORT OF SYSTEM 9 AND OLDER SOFTWARE. I AM NO LONGER ABLE TO ASSURE THAT THIS SOFTWARE WILL RUN ON NEWER SYSTEMS AND THEREFORE HAVE RETIRED THESE PACKAGES. THE ANIMATION SOFTWARE BELOW HAS BEEN SAVED FROM EXTINCTION BUT NO LONGER IS INTERACTIVE.
