Interactive Physics is now available for the IBM platforms.  I saw it at
the summer AAPT meeting and it looks identical.  In fact most of the code
was transported from the Mac to MS-DOS since it was written in C+ or C++
if I recall.

Toolbook is an MS-DOS program and is the backbone for CUPLE - also written
form IBM's.  I don't think there is a problem getting equivalent material
on CDROM for IBM's.

   Secondly, is the Interactive Physics series available for

My information (second hand) is that Wings is not worth the dollars.
Knowledge Revolution now has Interactive Physics available for IBM's - as
mentioned above.
