                                  ---

An IBM PC interactive simulator for systems of ordinary differential or
difference equations.   Intended for educational use or small research
problems.  Assumes basic undergraduate knowledge of maths, but has been used at
high school level.   Especially useful for demonstrating chaotic systems.
Public domain version available free.


Features of full version 2.6:

  Easy-to-use menus with mouse support.
  Built-in text editor.
  Equations entered in natural notation, stored in ASCII files.
  Up to 18 coupled ODEs.
  Automatic plotting of solution (CGA,EGA,VGA).
  LaTeX and postscript output of graphs for publication-quality graphics.
  Output of solution to file.
  Several different ode algorithms, up to 6th order.
  Many example files included, including chaotic.
  Printed manual with tutorial and reference section.

A few features are lacking in the public domain version.
Used at many Australian and US universities, and other sites around the
world.  Author: Keith Briggs.


To get public domain version 2.6
--------------------------------

Format: zip archive.   USE BINARY MODE TRANSFER !

Anonymous ftp to wuarchive.wustl.edu  (edu/math/msdos/diff.equations)

Sample Unix session:
% ftp wuarchive.wustl.edu
ftp> anonymous

ftp> cd edu/math/msdos/diff.equations
ftp> bin
ftp> get ode26.zip
ftp> quit
 
Now get the file `ode26.zip' to your PC with ftp or kermit (binary again!),
to a clean directory ODE.   Then

C:\ODE>pkunzip ode26
C:\ODE>more <readme
C:\ODE>ode

After trying it, please mail your comments and suggestions!
And give ode26.zip to your friends.
