Interactive Physics II will be available for PC's running Windows as of
Sept 15.

Wings for Learning's Physics Explorer series is not available for PC's

Finally, an oft mentioned software package, Graphs and Tracks by Falcon
Software, is available for both Macs and PCs.  The PC version does not require
Windows, but it does require a mouse.

And to add a plug for the folks across the hall from me: several forthcoming
programs from Physics Academic Software will run on both the Mac and the PC.
These programs include:  Objects in Motion, Electric Field Hockey, and EM
 Field.Why do they run on both platforms?  Because all three of them were
 written in
the language known as cT which apparently transfers from platform to platform
with ease.  See the March/April edition of Computers in Physics for an article
about the cT language.

Also, anyone interested in courseware might want to check out the '1993
Directory of Physics Courseware' in the Jan/Feb 1993.  It can't tell you
everything about the scads of software that are now available, but it will
let you know what's out there and what platform stuff runs on.

Hope this helps,
