Re: [Phys-l] Rel Lab software replacement

[Scott Goelzer <s.goelzer@comcast.net>]

Not a rumor, pretty much a fact at this point.
I will be orphaned from several good pieces of software such as

I am hoping that someone will get an emulator running. I'd pay for it.

Where can you find Rel Lab. I am interested? Shareware?
