I've been getting a lot of mail lately concerning my biology simulations, so I thought I'd give an update on the status. Currently Anyone can Anonymously ftp demonstrations from handel.cs.colostate.edu They are in a directory /pub. The filename is called biosims.zip. This is all that is available at the moment. When I first announced these programs I received quite vote of disaproval because I need to charge a fee to cover costs. I put everything concerning this project on a far back shelf until I can do it properly, meaning putting together some bound users guides and study aids. Including a text readme file with the programs just isn't good enough. The simulations without a users guide are quite useless because they are not animated textbooks. They are more like lab experiments in which one may try different things to learn basic principles. When I can afford to spend time and $$ printing off and sending the manuals, I'll try to get back to everyone who has expressed interest. (I apologize to those I haven't replied to yet) I'll be back at iowa sometime in june, my email address will colburn@tessa.iaf.uiowa.edu. If anyone seriously wants to use any programs for a course give me a call and we can work something out. I probably won't have a chance to reply to email since it is the end of the semester and finals are here.
