Note on Review Copies:

Review copies are difficult, at best, for me. This is self published and I need to pay money out of pocket to send any review copy. I even need to purchase copies for my own use. I hope you understand.

 

If you intend to use the book, I'd like to know about it. Please send me email at jbergin@pace.edu.

Software can be downloaded from the Download Page. The software is under development. Consider this version to be trial only - early release. Instructions are in the zip file. Here is some information about the simulator software.
