MESSAGE FROM THE AUTHOR I wrote the programs in Physics Package #1 for Windows during the school year 94-95 and 95-96. I am a 8th grader at USD 497. These programs are the result of several projects I had to do in Mr. Asbury's physics class. I put 3 programs together and created a setup program for Physics Package #1. You are welcome to examine and use these programs. The three programs in the Physics Package are listed below in the order I created them: Solar System (SOLARSYS) Light (LIGHT) Vectors (VECTORS) Please note that the programs are shareware and it would be nice if you would register them. The first copy costs $20.00 + $2.50 (S&H). Each additional copy of one program is $12.50 with no cost for shipping and handling (S&H). Please use each program's registration screen to print the registration form. The registration fee will pay for the manual, the disk, and shipping and handling. You will also receive a disk containing the latest registered version of the programs you registered. The registered version of Physics Package #1 for Windows will have more features than the shareware version and will not have the annoying registration screen. There will be free technical support available (using e-mail or mail). Registered users will be able to download patches of the programs from several home pages and FTP sites. I started a company called Lawrencesoft with Erick Bublitz. He is the operating officer of the company. He is the one that will process the orders and maintain our home page. I'm currently working on Physics Package #2. Physics Tutor (PTUTOR) has been finished and can be downloaded at the Lawrencesoft site. WarShells (WARSHELLS) is still being debugged. Registered users will receive information on those programs and future programs when they are ready. I hope you will enjoy the three programs in Physics Package #1.
