Nbody3D Gravitational Simulator
version 2.0.001

written by Henley Quadling, 16th Feb, 1996

- This is a very early unfinished test release.

- This software is freeware; you may distribute it
  freely as long as you distribute it free and unmodified.

- This software requires at least Windows NT 3.51, Intel or 
  Alpha. This software also runs in Windows 95 with the 
  appropriate Opengl dll's.

Features:

1. OpenGL 3D animation.... A future release will have
   much improved openGL functionality, and more control
   over the rendering.

2. Multiple threads. This software has 6 threads. The
   Calculation and rendering are executed on seperate 
   synchronized threads, which should allow for very 
   efficient execution on SMP machines. I do not have 
   access to a SMP machine, so please tell me if there
   is a problem!

3. Windows 95 common controls, Drag and drop support, 
   toolbars, tooltips etc.

4. Completely written in C, for compact and fast code.

Installing:

If you are using this software in Windows 95, and you do 
not have the OpenGL dll's, you need to obtain them.
I have them on my nbody page:

Running:

Try the demo files, with the 'open and run' menu item, or
drag a demo file over the main dialog window. Other than
that, you are going to have to play with it, because I
dont have time to write a manual! The status bar messages
and tooltip messages should help out.

Have fun!
