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, Ladye Wilkinson Physics Courseware Evaluation Project Department of Physics North Carolina State University
