Subject: 1997 Hubble Space Telescope Images
This Hyperstudio stack allows one to view some of the images taken by the
Hubble Space Telescope in 1997. Each image is accompanied by a caption
that gives information about the image. I obtained permission from the
Space Telescope Science Institute and NASA to compile this information
into a tutorial presentation. More of their astronomical images can be
seen at their web site at www.stsci.edu.
The tutorial is for educational use. A worksheet is included with the
stack which can be filled out by students as they view it. Hyperstudio
Player 3.1 is needed to view the stack. The included worksheet is in two
formats, Claris Works 4.0 and Simple Text. This entire package is

Subject: 3DFunctions 2.2.1
Functions of two variables are difficult to reproduce on paper because
they exist in 3-D space. 3-D Functions supplies the user with different
functions to choose from, to add or multiply or divide up to 10 function
combinations into a special function. Also supplied is a bunch of
preset functions and one nested function.
Version 2 adds the option of contour plots and constraint functions that
can be used in optimization problems, where the user has to identify the
region where the function is at an minimum value, etc...
Version 2.2 added the feature of producing a quicktime movie of a
rotating surface. The current plot position is rotated 360 degrees
about the z-axis in one degree increments.
The demo is limited to a preset function. The full version can assemble
multiple functions (see documentation).
This demo can be distributed freely and may be included on the archive's
CD ROM.

Download ball-and-stick-376.hqx (3,780,091 KB)
From: Norbert Mueller
Subject: bs2000free.hqx: Ball & Stick - Molecular Graphics
What does Ball & Stick do?
Ball & Stick generates images and animations of three dimensional molecular
models at atomic resolution from input files obtained from either
structure libraries (e.g. protein data bank) or generated by experimental
methods (e.g. X-ray crystallography, NMR,...) of by computatioanl chemistry
(e.g. molecular mechanics, quantum-mechanics,...)
Who uses Ball & Stick?
People working in "molecular sciences" who want to publish graphical
representations of molecular models (click for examples). What sets off B&S
from other products in this area is the print quality achieved on
moderately priced systems.
Technically this is due to the fact that we use a vector graphics concept
up to the last step of rendering, which is done by the selected driver
(display or printer).
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT - Ball & Stick available for free
Due to the fact that the future of Pascal compilers for MacOS X is unclear,
we freeze the development of the popular molecular graphics program Ball &
Stick (aka B&S) as of December 2000. As a service to the Mac community in
molecular sciences the current versions (3.7.6 and 3.8b3) will be made
available for free (by download) but we retain all rights to the software.
At the same time I will cease to give technical support. One of the main
reasons behind that move is that the only maker of a Pascal compiler for
the Mac has been promising a MacOS X compliant version for three years and
not delivered (yet, as I hope). I cannot afford to keep development and
support on obsolete system configurations going, while income is
diminishing due to the lack of new versions that comply with MacOS X.
Redistribution is only allowed if the entire archive is included and only
if no money is charged. Exceptions require the written confirmation of one

More info on Ball & STick can also be found at:

several Mean +/- SEM values into an overall Mean +/- SEM. This is a frequent
requirement for researchers repeating an experiment several times, each time
obtaining a Mean +/- SEM for the parameter(s) under study. Additionally, in
version 1.1 the programme will calculate the SEM and standard deviation of

From: Rob Goldstone
Subject: Complex Adaptive Systems
These simulations explore a variety of complex adaptive systems.
Psychology, computer science, economics, biology, and neuroscience
depend upon a deeper understanding of the mechanisms that govern
adaptive systems. A common feature of these systems is that organized
behavior emerges from the interactions of many simple parts. Ants
organize to build colonies, neurons organize to produce adaptive human
behavior, and businesses organize to create economies. To address the
essential question of "What are the properties of complex adaptive
systems?," simulations case studies of several systems are explored:
chaotic growth in animal populations, human learning, cooperation and
competition within social groups, genetic algorithms, leaf formation in
pine cones, and the evolution of artificial life. The central idea
running through all of the simulations is that widely different systems
(businesses, ant colonies, brains) share fundamental commonalities.

What is Contours?
Contours is a program for the Macintosh which is designed to aid the 3D
hobbyist or professional. It allows one to mathematically create bitmaps
that can be used as 2D maps in a wide variety of 3D applications.
Contours creates a contour plot of a 3D mathematical function which is of
the form z = f(x,y). Each pixel in the image will be mapped to an (x,y)
coordinate pair, a value for z will be calculated, and a color will be
assigned to the resulting z value for that pixel. The color of a pixel is
determined by mapping the resulting z value to a color which is between the
color chosen to represent z min, and the color chosen to represent z max.
This allows the precise creation of 2D maps which can then be used other
apps. The images can be saved as PICT files, or as numbered PICT for
animations.
The user can input a function as a string in algebraic infix form to be
plotted which uses any of the following operators:
addition: +
subraction: -
multiplication: *
division: /
exponentiation: ^
square root: sqrt()
trig functions: sin(), cos(), tan(), asin(), acos(), atan(),

From: "Fr. John Robbins"
Subject: Coordinates 2.4.3 - Planetary Surface Coordinate Calculator
Coordinates is an application that transforms geodetic and Cartesian
coordinates. It will make the conversions from Geodetic latitude,
longitude and heights to planet centered Cartesian coordinates and vice
versa. Works for various planetary ellipsoids, including user defined
ellipsoids.
Additionally, Coordinates will also compute long geodesic lines on the
ellipsoid. Given a starting latitude and longitude, a distance and a
direction, Coordinates will compute the location of the end point. Also,
it will compute the geodesic length and directions between two points of
known latitude and longitude.
Documentation of algorithms used accompanies the application.
Coordinates is offered as freeware. May be distributed. Functions on PPC
under OS8.5 and later. Not optimized for OS X.

Subject: CrystalDesigner 7.0
I give permission for our program to be included on the Info-Mac CD-ROM.
Abstract:
CrystalDesigner is a tool for building, studying and visualising all kinds
of crystal structures. CrystalDesigner is an ideal tool for both teaching
and scientific studies. The software is intended to be used by students and
teachers at colleges and universities, as well as in industrial research.
What's new in CrystalDesigner 7.0?
CrystalDesigner now allows visualisation of atoms on the corners of the
co-ordination polyhedra. Further more, these atoms may be selected and if
desirable deleted. If a corner atom is deleted, the co-ordination
polyhedron will automatically be redrawn according to the new
co-ordination. Beginning with this release it is also possible to record
QuickTime movies.
Additional main features:
- Corner atoms of a co-ordination polyhedron may now be displayed and the
size of the corner atoms may be adjusted by the end user
- Colour shaded polyhedra may be displayed alternatively with black frames,
colour frames or as previously without frames.
- QuickTime movies may be created by adding frame by frame manually or by
automatically recording all user actions.
- Additional rotation controls have been added to allow a continuously
rotation or a rotation by a given angle of the graphics.
- Improved colour shading of atoms, bonds and polyhedra.
- Support for hairlines when printing.
- Online documentation (Mac OS 8.6 or higher).
- Export of atom co-ordinates
-
- Density of the crystal structure is automatically calculated and
displayed by using the unit cell view (Calculations assume 100% occupancy).
- The distances to the nearest neighbours are now automatically displayed
in the info window when an atom is selected by the end user.
- Reduced prices
- A hand full of bug fixes
System requirements:
- System 7.5 or higher
- 4 MB available memory
- 6 MB hard disk space

Curvz Builder
... is a Mac shareware program for high quality x,y graphs.
... features immediate plotting of imported data.
... is a graphically oriented plotting program with drawing facilities.
... provides data-sheets with calculator for easy data manipulation and
calculations.
... can generate plots from arithmetic expressions that may include
elementary functions.
... has a mathematically oriented text string editor.
... has a magnification tool for visual inspection of various details of
the plotted curves.
... can produce smooth curves from few data points.
... utilizes high resolution printing (e.g. spline curves on PostScript

The graph itself is the central item in the user interface of Curvz
Builder. Various tools for data handling - including data sheets and
calculator - are activated only when needed.
One can copy a table of data from, for example, a spread sheet program
or a text editor and paste it into a plot window. Curvz Builder then
plots the data as curves without any further action of the user. Curvz
Builder can import tables of data from a TEXT file directly into a plot
and immediately produce the curve(s). Optionally one may import, enter
or create the data in a data-sheet window of Curvz Builder and then plot
the curve(s) by simply pressing a button.
Curvz Builder treats each curve, frame of reference, scale or axis label
as an individual graphical object which can be changed, copied and
pasted. Various graphical elements can be added and modified with the
drawing tools.
Curvz Builder makes an effort to produce a visually appealing plot, but
you may change virtually all details of the plot to suit your needs.

Subject: Edible Landscaping 4.7
Version 4.7 adds some minor features and removes minor bugs. It now
requires a screen resolution of 640x480 or better. Some plant info has been
updated. April, 2002
Edible Landscaping is an encyclopedia of perennials that are worth growing
primarily for produce. Every such plant that can be grown in at least three
USDA hardiness zones (i.e., can withstand 15 F or below) is covered in the
database. It includes fruits, nuts, herbs, and even a few perennial
vegetables. Uncommon edibles such as the jujube and chayote are included,
as well as popular favorites like strawberries and walnuts. The majority of
plants have color photos attached, often illustrating different aspects
(e.g., in a landscape, and a closeup).
Edible Landscaping can be used in conjunction with a large archive of color
pictures. It expects the photos to be in a folder named "EL Pictures"; it
can also be mixed with the photos in one folder. If you have difficulties
viewing the photos, try increasing the RAM (memory) available to the
program. 2500K should be plenty and 2000K will probably work too. You
allocate memory with the "Get Info..." command in the Finder.
Edible Landscaping is as a standalone application made in Hypercard. It
does not require Hypercard as a separate application. It will work on any
Macintosh. It does require 2.5 MB of available RAM and 7 MB of diskspace.
Displaying the pictures may require Quicktime 2.5--I'm not sure
(Hypercard's built in commands take care of showing the pictures--it's not
something I programmed). Edible Landscaping was tested under MacOS 7.6.1
with Quicktime 3.0, and 8.1 & 9.04 with Quicktime 4.1.
Detailed instructions are available from within the Edible Landscaping
software.
Edible Landscaping costs $15.

What is GFF? (Genetic Function Finder)
Genetic Function Finder is a program that searches for a function that will
produce certain points on a two dimensional coordinate plain. For example,
the function 'y = x' produces the points (1, 1), (2, 2), etc. Genetic
Function Finder uses a survival of the fittest environment, to evolve the
correct function by random mutations. The point of GFF isn't really to find
the correct function, but to demonstrate a kind of evolution.
How does GFF work?
Genetic Function Finder starts by taking three points (given by the user)
and generating ten random arithmetic strings. Then GFF evaluates each
string and finds its value for each point. For example the string 'x+1'
would yield '1' if 'x = 0', '2' if 'x = 1', '3' if 'x = 2'. GFF finds the
difference between the results of each string, and the 'y' values for each
point the user gave it.
Here's an example:
1. The user gives the points: (1, 2) (2, 3) (3, 4)
2. GFF produces a string, S: 'x + x - 2'
If 'x = 1' then 'S = 1 + 1 - 2 = 0'
If 'x = 2' then 'S = 2 + 2 - 2 = 2'
If 'x = 3' then 'S = 3 + 3 - 2 = 4'
3. GFF finds the difference between the results of the random string, and
the real results.
Random string yields: 0, 2, 4.
Real results are: 2, 3, 4.
(2 - 0) + (3 - 2) + (4 - 4) = 3
The total error of this string was '3'.
4. GFF produces nine more strings and finds the total error of each of
them.
5. GFF then erases the strings with the largest five errors. (They die)
6. The best five strings from this generation are duplicated. (They
reproduce)
7. The duplicate strings are mutated randomly to stimulate evolution.
8. The process is repeated, generally getting better and better results each
generation until the correct string appears.
How to use GFF
When GFF first starts up it will ask for three points. These are in the
form of (x, y) coordinates. For GFF to read them properly they should be
written without the parenthesis or commas, but with spaces between the
numbers. For example:
GFF can't read this: (1, 2) (2, 3) (3, 4)
or this: 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4
or this: 1 2, 2 3, 3 4
but it can read this: 1 2 2 3 3 4
If the points aren't written in this general format: "x y x y x y" then
there is no telling what GFF will read the points as.
After you enter the points GFF will ask for a "maximum generations" number.
This will be the number of the last generation GFF will allow before
stopping. If GFF finds the correct function before the final generation, it
will stop early. If GFF gets to through the last generation without finding
the correct string, it will ask the user if he/she would like to continue,
using the same points. (For yes/no answers, 1 = yes, 0 = no).
Before GFF starts searching, it will ask if you would like to observe the
evolution of the strings. (1 = yes, 0 = no). If the you type "0", GFF will
give you no information until it has either reached the last generation or
it has found the correct function. If you type "1", GFF will give you
information on every generation as they are produced, including the total,
average, and median error of each generation's population.
When GFF finds the correct function it will print that function in the form
of "y = mx + b" and will ask for different points to work with and the
process will start again.
Limitations
GFF is about demonstrating the process of evolution, not about doing math.
For its purposes, a limited arithmetic is used. The only operators are '+'
and '-' and the only variable is 'x'. Therefore, GFF will not be able to
find non-linear functions (like 'y = x/2', 'y = x*x', etc.). Here's an
interesting thing to try. Give GFF points from a function that it cannot
find. GFF will develop strings that come closer and closer to perfect, but
never quite there. (Of course, if GFF was considering an infinite number of
points, every incorrect string would seem just as unreasonable as any other
string.)
Random Function Finder
An especially observant user might have noticed another program in the
folder with GFF. Random Function Finder works exactly like GFF except that
it searches randomly for the solution, instead of using an evolutionary
process. Try feeding the same numbers into GFF and Random Function Finder.
Except for rare cases, GFF will find the function long before Random
Function Finder will. I included Random Function Finder to show the
difference that an evolutionary process does make.
FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
What's the point of GFF?
GFF is designed to demonstrate a kind of evolution in a simple environment
with very basic rules.
Couldn't you find the function faster using "y1 - y = m(x1 - x)"?
Yes. So?
So why use a genetic algorithm?
The evolutionary process is the real purpose, not the math.
I get error messages when the strings get really long. Why?
The strings can only get to about 80 characters in length before problems
will arise. This is because when I wrote the program I arbitrarily chose 80
as the maximum length of a string. If you have a compiler, and you know
what you're doing, you can change it to whatever you'd like.
Is there a Windows/DOS version of GFF?
I don't have a Windoze compiler, but the whole program uses standard
input/output functions, so it shouldn't be very hard to port it to any
operating system.
Have you written any other programs?
Yes. I've written a gravity simulation program called "Orbit" that can be
found at the info-mac archives or on download.com.

This is an update to an earlier version of Gerry's Attraction in your
archives.
I notice that my earlier version of Gerry's Attraction is placed in the
"Games" directory. It doesn't belong there.
It belings in "Science & Math"
Gerry's Attraction is a program for viewing the Lorenz Attractor and
Rossler Attractor in real-time 3D.
Most programs which display these attractors usually give a static 2D
view of these 3D objects which makes it very difficult to see what they
truely look like and how they behave. Gerry's Attractor allows you to
watch points become "attracted" to the attractors over time.
Gerry's Attraction allows you to "fly" around and through either
attractor with total freedom viewing it from any vantage point. (Similar
to how you move around in the game Descent)
Version 3.0 has many improvements over the earlier versions including a
totally re-written 3D engine.
Hardware Requirements:
Any PowerMac running MacOS 7.5 or later with Appearance Manager
installed. (MacOS 8.0 or later comes with the Appearance Manager
built-in)
Gerry's Attraction may be included on the CD-ROM of the archives.

This is what G*Power does:
G*Power performs high-precision statistical power analyses for the most

and Chi^2-tests.
G*Power computes
(a) power values for given sample sizes, effect sizes
and alpha levels (post hoc power analyses),
(b) sample sizes for given effect sizes, alpha levels,
and power values (a priori power analyses), and
(c) alpha and beta values for given sample sizes,
effect sizes and beta/alpha ratios (compromise power analyses).
The program may be used to display graphically the relation between any two
of the relevant variables and it offers the opportunity to compute the
effect size measures from basic parameters defining the alternative
hypothesis.

Some of the new features: (for 2.10)
* A French language interface is now available.
* Sub-pixel computations are now performed using a multi-grid / recursive
method instead of a regular grid / iterative method (with progressively
finer grids / step-sizes). For some common graphs, such as y=logx over
[-10,10] x [-10,10], verification efficiency has consequently improved by
several orders of magnitude.
* Better graphing of formulae containing common sub-expressions, especially
when discontinuous operators are involved: see
http://www.peda.com/grafeq/gallery/decimal_squares.html
for an example.
* Rich Text Format (RTF) encapsulation of formulae is now supported; this can
help word processors vertically place formulae exported via the clipboard.
* Exported views can now be exported as JIF or PCX files. See

in power electronics like pwm inverters and thyristor rectifiers.
The sweep is plotted during the calculation. Intervention is possible to
modify anything in the circuit, then the sweep can be resumed.
Many sweeps can be displayed on one screen to see long term effecets, or
to see what changed after a circuit modification.
HICAP runs on any PPC or 68k mac, even under system 6 as long as you
have less than 8Mb of memory. If you have more, load HICAP before
other application so it resides in the first 8Mb of RAM.
New in version 1.6 :
Pasting outside window prevented.
Multiple voltage clipped capacitors allowed.
Any mix of diodes and saturable inductors allowed.
Multiple use of most generators allowed.

Intelligent Chaos 1.5 -- probably the fastest chaos engine on earth!
Intelligent Chaos (IC) is a simple tool which allows You to study the
emergence of chaotic behaviour in the logistic equation and related
iterations.
Of course there already exist plenty of programs that makes beautiful
chaotic graphs, but You will never understand chaos theory without
looking at the actual numbers. That is what You can do with IC, in great
detail.
The equation used is a*x*(1-x). The chaotic parameter (a) is given the
default value 3.5699, that is just below the point where chaos sets in,
but the idea is of course that You should let i vary from 2 to 4.

Iterated Function Systems
IFS Version 1.0.4
An iterated function system is a kind of dynamical system that often
has a fractal attractor. One of the simplest is called the "Chaos
game" and gives rise to the "Sierpinski triangle." The application
IFS allows you to draw the fractal attractors for any iterated
function system where the mappings are affine. It allows you to
select a transformation using the mouse and zoom in to the fractal to
see any level of detail desired. Iterated function systems are used
by Hollywood to draw fractal landscapes, and have been proposed as an
effective image compression scheme.
This program is free, and may not be sold or included in any
commercial compilation without explicit permission of the author. If
you enjoy it, send me an email. If you don't enjoy it, tell me why!

OnScreen Particle Physics simulates a particle-detection chamber, the
device used by researchers at facilities such as Fermilab. By enabling
students to carry out simulated experiments, it presents modern physics
as a human activity, not just a set of facts. The software is mainly
aimed at teachers wanting to teach modern physics from a "how we know"
perspective, but it is well suited to individual study. No advanced
mathematics required. A particle chamber appears on the screen in 3D
perspective. Particle decay events, generated in accordance with the real
physics, appear as charged-particle tracks, curved by the simulated
magnetic field. Users can rotate the chamber to view tracks from
different perspectives and can re-play the event, thus obtaining a vivid
picture of it. On-screen tools allow users to solve the puzzle of
particle identification exactly as real particle physicists do.
Trackmaker, a gamelike, interactive simulation of the motion of a charged
particle in a magnetic field is included. This demo version limits user
to a single particle event to observe and analyze, but the toolset its
complete. Trackmaker is limited to three particles per session. Runs on
any Mac with 68020 or greater and system 7.0 or greater.

MacVenns is a Math/Logic learning game that instructs the user on what Venn
Diagrams are and how they are used to solve Set Theory problems. Some
problems are simple, some are pretty complex. I wrote MacVenns because it
seemed like a 'natural' for a Mac application. MacVenns is directed toward
students studying Set Theory, Boolean Logic, or Venn Diagrams (or persons
who enjoy a mental challenge). It is both fun and educational for all ages,
even small children (my six year old daughter enjoys it). There are only a
few basic concepts to learn, then the fun begins.
Venn Diagrams are used throughout educational systems. My daughter's first
grade class has a Venn Diagram (with chicks and ducks) on the wall. My
nephew studied them in his ninth grade class, my wife and I learned them in
a college computer logic course, my brother-in-law encountered them in the
military. If you're a student, have children, or would just like to try
something different, you should have MacVenns!
*** MacVenns requires a Mac with color monitor!

schools for them to try!

Subject: MoonMenu 2.0.2J - Japanese version
This is the Japanese version of the MoonMenu package.
MoonMenu renders a small picture of the moon in its current phase on
your computer's screen in your menubar next to the clock. MoonMenu also
comes with an application that will calculate lunar data for any given
date! The MoonMenu application is a small but powerful panel that allows you
to investigate all of the information about the moon for any date and
time between the years 1923 and 2039. It also controls the settings for
the tint of the moon so you can optimize it for your monitor. There're
even built in definitions for the items listed above... just one click
away.
MoonMenu draws the current phase of the moon in the menubar. The menu,
when selected, reveals the following information:
* A textual description of the moon phase
* Illumination percentage
* The moon's age in days
* Current lunation number
* Farmers' Almanac names for the current lunation
* Upcoming quarter predictions
* Automatic "blue moon" detection that actually colors the moon blue
* Sun rise/set times
* Twilight rise/set times
* Moon rise/set times
Version 2 is now fully compatible with Mac OS X!
New to 2.0.3
9 and X:
* Fixed problem with text in some windows.
* Fixed registration problem.
X only:
* Fixed font metrics for MacOS X 10.2 in some dialogs and windows.
* Fixed problem with "Launch Application..." menu item under some 10.2 systems.
* Fixed problem with Moon dissappearing from the menubar during
registration reminder.

NRJ-DULE 1.0
NRJ-dule is aN experimental laboratory for exploring the way we produce
energy during effort, the complementarity of plants and animals for
energy, and the pathways of energy in living organisms.
Highly interactive, NRJ-dule is aimed at High School/University
students, and Unlike most courseware, it doesn't try to TEACH you, it
lets you discover.
Created after Neurodule, a highly acclaimed simulation of the neuron,
NRJ-dule is more multimedia and better integrated.
NRJ-dule is essentially interactive, so there is little text. However
what text there is, is in French. (we speak french over here in
Geneva...) Teachers here found it allows a much better in-depth
learning.
There are 9 modules :
* Simulated running (3 phases of energy production, lactic acid etc.)
* Carbon cycle
* Animal respiration
* Plant photosynthesis
* Dark phase
* Light reaction
* Glycolysis
* Krebs cycle
* Respiratory chain

Orbit is a program that shows the effects of gravity on bodies in space.
The program is fully documented, comes with several example solar systems,
is free and open source.
Version 1.3.4 fixes lots of bugs, is faster, and allows you to see
information about each system and the bodies in it on the fly. The
flakiness of the animation has been fixed.
It is now possible to make collision elastic.
Author: Aaron Golden
System Requirements: MacOS 7.5 and up
License: Absolutely Free + Open Source :)
Previous Updates:
Version 1.2.8 is a leap ahead in all aspects of the program. It is now
possible to save and open files from the program (without using the finder).
The program runs much, much faster, and the blinking of the animation has
been eliminated. It is now possible to make a planet stationary. It won't
move no matter what. You can get some cool effects with this. As always, I
added in a couple more systems for you to check out.
Version 1.2.9 has cooler graphics, is faster, and fixes the bugs that made
the tracking option get messed up sometimes. It also includes preferences.
The new options are:
Show about window on startup
Show open dialog on startup
Use a black background
Draw a grid
Version 1.3 fixes a couple bugs having to do with conservation of momentum
and collisions between planets. The documentation has been updated and is
more comprehensive. It is now possible to specify the radius of a body
(instead of basing it on mass).

PLANET 8.1 is an application in which your Macintosh computes the
coordinates of the planets visible to the naked eye (Mercury, Venus, Mars,
Jupiter and Saturn), the sun and the moon. The coordinates are given in
different coordinate systems: the geocentric ecliptic and also the
equatorial and horizontal systems of the observer. Further you will see
the magnitude of the planets and the phase of the moon and also sidereal
time, mean solar time and the equation of time.
When a solar or lunar eclipse is possible you can also investigate the
eclipse from any place on earth. You can study heliacal risings and
settings of planets and stars and also conjunctions, planetary stations and
occultations. A special option in the program allows you to check the
visibility of the new and old moon crescent.Finally you can study the
transits of Mercury and Venus.
Included with PLANET is a small helper application, Mini Star Catalog,
containing a list of 410 bright and important stars. It is possible to
choose any star from the catalog and transfer it (one at a time) to PLANET
by drag and drop. Once the star is inside PLANET it will displayed by
coordinates updated for current precession and proper motion. Also it is
possible to study the heliacal rise and set of the star.

Subject: Polychem2
Polychem2 is an update of the chemistry demo 'Polychem' that provides a
titration module from a comprehensive multimedia tutorial and simulation
tool. One that helps teachers and students by providing hundreds of
hours of student activity.
The software is aimed at senior high school to junior college levels,
with an emphasis on the applied nature of chemistry. Most high schools
use it for years 11 and 12.
Research has shown that the students using the software are well
motivated and enjoy using the software. They prefer the software to
traditional types of instruction and have more have fun in chemistry.
Students are on task for a longer time and have been more motivated.
This environment can be used a significant teaching tool, not just as a
supplement. Students are empowered to take more responsibility for their
own learning and can spend time learning, not just copying down notes.
The program contains notes, computer generated interactive questions and
exam questions from a large number of chemistry topics, the demo shows a
titration section. There are also many simulations of equipment and of
chemical processes. There is also an extensive section on organic
chemistry that contains notes, interactive sections, simulations
questions and nomenclature problems. There are also chemistry based
games, demonstrations and activities. A key feature is the provision of
model answers for the computer generated questions to help student
reflection and analysis.
The text notes displayed can be modified on screen, even over a network,
and printed. The text can be enlarged using the controls for use by the
teacher on a classroom projector or to benefit students with visual
impairments. Examination questions can be added and altered, and
facilities are included so that other developers can add topics and
modules. Provided the user has write privileges to a disk, then
assignment marks can be recorded as well as user names, times and dates.
Computers required are Macintosh, 16mB RAM recommended (there is also a
Windows version).The program uses 4mB of physical ram so it may run on
8mB machines if there are few memory intensive extensions. A Mac 040
would be the minimum configuration computer, with a colour 640 x 480
screen.

Random Number Generator is an AppleScript program which will display random
numbers within a specified range. Once the user has specified the minimum
and maximum possible results, a number is generated and displayed in a
dialog; from there, the user has the options of starting over (and thus
entering a new range), generating another number within the same range, and
quitting the program.
Until the registration fee of $3.00 is paid, the program will display a
dialog box every startup (that will go away after three seconds) requesting
you to register; clicking on the button labeled "Register" allows you to
enter your name and registration code.
Changes in this version include a cleanup of a complete rewriting of the
code; it now functions more efficiently, and I've implemented a new,
experimental registration system that shows much promise. I'm still signed

ROOTLOCS 3.7 - a Root Locus plotting program
ROOTLOCS is an easy to use program for plotting Root Locus diagrams
of linear control systems. Given the positions in the complex plane of
the open loop poles and zeros of a system, ROOTLOCS plots the loci of
the system's closed loop poles as the gain of the system is increased
indefinitely starting from zero.
ROOTLOCS can handle systems with up to 20 poles and 20 zeros, and is
very fast. It offers a choice of working in either the S-Plane or the
Z-Plane and it can plot the loci of both positive and negative gain
systems. Several useful 'tools' are included for getting quantitative
information from the displayed root locus plots.
The current version of the program (3.7) incorporates several major
improvements over the previously archived version (3.5), including :
¥ Magnification of a rectangular region of the plane
¥ Faster scrolling of the plane with Shift + Cursor keys
¥ Automatic adjustment of Z-Plane size for best display of damping lines
¥ Original boundary values also restored with Restore Original PZ
¥ Unit circle permanently displayed in Z-Plane
¥ Input edit fields now accept only numeric data
¥ A host of bugfixes and other minor improvements
The program should prove useful to students of control engineering and
practising engineers alike.

We've avoided the temptation of creating yet another sky charting
program to interface with your telescope, as there are many excellent
interactive sky charts already available. Instead, ScopeDriver's
interface is designed to enhance your observing, so that you can
spend more time observing actual sky objects -- not staring at your

research, and it's being used by individuals and institutions
worldwide.
Our goal is to keep the focus on the actual night sky, and to do what
we can in software to make your observing more productive and
enjoyable.
Features include:
* Convenient and powerful locator interface to find tens of thousands
of sky objects by Common Name, Bayer/Flamsteed designation,
Constellation, and much more.
* Observing list support.
* Orbiting body entry.
* An integrated, searchable observing log.
* The ability to store and select an unlimited number of Observing Sites.
* A user guide that has garnered high praise for its readability,
content, and appearance.
* The ability to synchronize your telescope's clock with your
computer's clock (both date and time).
* Protective mechanisms to help avoid slews that could damage your
instrument, mechanisms to delay motor reversals, etc.
*Customizable "Night Mode" display to preserve your dark adaptation.
* Full keypad and mouse control of focus and slew motors, with
compensation for mirror reversed and/or inverted eyepiece display.

Starry Night is a tremendous tool for learning about the night sky that
is being used around the world by parents, educators, amateur
astronomers and those just beginning to discover the wonder of
astronomy. Using Starry Night you can place yourself anywhere at anytime
and experience an accurate recreation of the sky. Backyard skies, skies
in other countries or the sky above Apollo 11's lunar module are all
available to you. Watch as the Sun sets from the surface of Mars.
Witness a total eclipse of the Sun as seen from the Moon. Set time
flowing at whatever pace you wish. See the stars as the ancient
Egyptians saw them. Your only limit is your curiosity.
Starry Night has just received a Human Interface Design Excellence
(H.I.D.E.) Award from Apple Computer! We also have a 4 stars rating from
MacWorld magazine in the June 97 issue, as well as a 5 mice rating from
MacUser magazine!
Starry Night 2.1 adds exciting internet capabilities to the program! Add
a URL to any planet star or comet! Use our LiveSky web site to learn
more about the objects you see in the sky!
The CD-ROM Starry Night Deluxe has many more features than the basic
version that is available via download. This CD-ROM is also availaable in
a Japanese version. The basic version comes with a thourough description
of the differences.

Syllogism
Webster's: 1. a deductive scheme of a formal argument consisting of a
major and a minor premise and a conclusion (as 'every virtue is laudable;
kindness is a virtue; therefore, kindness is laudable') 2. a subtle,
specious, or crafty argument 3. deductive reasoning
Syllogism 1.0 tests and models a certain kind of reasoning. It will find
the one valid conclusion from premise sets like:
10 Socrates is a Greek
20 all men are mortal
30 all Greeks are men
40 no gods are mortal
It will consider much more complicated premise sets too. It is smarter than
you.
*
This version of Syllogism is a standalone application for MacOS 8.6-9.x.
You can run Syllogism on a Mac Plus with System 6.x, or Windows, with
Chipmunk BASIC or many other BASIC interpreters. See below for more info.
Syllogism 1.0 is much more stable than the previous version. It was
compiled from fine-tuned BASIC source code, using Metal 1.7.3. Metal is a
free BASIC interpreter and metacompiler for the Mac. The source code to
Syllogism, and links to Metal and other BASIC interpreters which work under
OS X, Windows, and Linux are available at:
http://www.efn.org/~bsharvy/crunchy.html
Syllogism 1.0, as source code or compiled program, costs zero dollars. You
may distribute altered versions provided: 1) they work, 2) there is clear
and prominent notification that you altered the program and how, 2) there
is clear and prominent notification of the original authorship.

Truss 6 is an application that explores the behavior of planar trusses
under external loading. It builds, analyzes, and displays the internal
forces in the members using color intensities to denote force values.
This new version replaces version 5.x. It will run on any Mac (PPC and
68k) with 68020 or better processor and the QuickTime extension
installed to be able to produce movies of a car traveling over the
truss.
New in version 6.0.2
* Minor update relating to showing the correct version of the
application in the About Application... menu and the truss window title.
New in version 6.0.1
* The application was rewritten in C++ using Symantec C++ visual
architecture.
* Balloon help is enabled.
* Shortcut buttons and the color scale reside on floating pallets.
* Truss colors as well as background and foreground colors can be
selected by the user.
* Pattern display has been disabled. Only colors are available.
* The animation of the car traveling over the truss is done in a
separate window.
* The entire truss can be moved with the mouse.
* Applied nodal forces can be assigned by double-clicking a node..
* The full version can be unlocked with a serial number instead of
waiting for a full version.
* Some menu items were rearranged, and some were dropped altogether.
* When printing, the truss will be centered and resized to fit on one
page.
* The console window was dropped. The forces text can be exported to a
file when needed.
* Automatic snap to grid functionality has been added.
* Method of sections has been dropped since the truss is analyzed
automatically. Only the
method of joints will be used to display joint and/or supports free
body diagrams.
This demo version is restricted to 4 joints, can build but cannot solve
trusses.

acceleration, velocity and position versus time.
New in this version:
To help understanding relative velocity, the animation can be viewed in 3
different reference frames. During the animation, the user can display a
vector diagram showing how the velocity of the crank and the velocity of
the connecting rod are combined together to give the velocity of the
piston. A new "theory" window explains how to find the velocity of the

Description du logiciel:
YP Engrenage Planetaire est un didacticiel pour MacIntosh, pour l'etude du
fonctionnement d'un systeme d'engrenage planetaire. (ce logiciel n'a rien a
voir avec l'astronomie).
Un systeme d'engrenage planetaire est un mecanisme constitue d'un certain
nombre de roues d'engrenage: le pignon central, la cage des satellites, et
la couronne. La transmission automatique d'une automobile utilise un train
d'engrenage planetaire pour transmettre aux roues la puissance du moteur,
tout en controlant la vitesse angulaire et le moment de force transmis. On
fait varier le rapport des vitesses (ou des moments de force) en bloquant
l'une ou l'autre des trois parties du mecanisme.
Au moyen de ce logiciel, vous pouvez observer le mouvement d'un systeme
d'engrenage planetaire quand une de ses composantes est bloquee. Vous
pouvez egalement calculer le rapport entre la vitesse angulaire d'entree et
la vitesse angulaire de sortie lorsqu'une de ses composantes est bloquee.
Appareillage requis: YP Engrenage Planetaire fonctionne sur n'importe quel
ordinateur Macintosh fonctionnant sous Mac OS 7.0 ou mieux. Il necessite
environ 900 Ko sur le disque rigide et exige 800 Ko de memoire vive. Le
logiciel est compatible avec les anciens modeles munis d'un microprocesseur
68000 (Mac Plus, Mac Classic), mais les simulations sont plus lentes.

in any way with astronomy).
A planetary gear train is a mechanism consisting of an assembly of meshed
gears: the sun gear, the planet carrier, and the ring gear. The automatic
transmission in an automobile uses the planetary gear train to transmit
power from the engine to the wheels at various controllable speeds and
torques. The transmission of power is varied by locking one or the other
of the three gears.
With YP Planetary Gear, you may observe the motion of a planetary gear
train when one of its parts is locked. The program also calculates the
ratio of the angular velocities when one of its parts is locked.
