I hope this newsgroup is about real simulators and not games.
I am from Sweden and I=B4m interested in simulators. My main interest is
subamarine simulators such as CIS, steering simulators etc. I want some
information about where navies of the world have their
training-facilities and what they consist. I have visited the German
submarineschool and the Norwegian UVBS. Please give me some more
information.

This newsgroup/mailing list is for discussing the computer language
SIMULA.

While this language was designed with simulation in mind it is a
full-fledged general purpose language.

SIMULA was one of the very first object-oriented languages, if I'm not
mistaken is it older than the term 'object-oriented'.

Stig is right. Simula dates from at least ten years before anyone started
talking about "object oriented" languages.

It also introduced the concept of active objects several years before
"Actors" appeared on the scene.

General discussion of simulation topics happens on the Newsgroup
comp.simulation.
