This disk contains new programs for the person with a physics and 
space science bent.  Many were inspired by the "Computer 
recreations" column in "Scientific American".  Programs included 
are:  HYPER, a hyper cube (4th dimensional cube) drawing program; 
WALLPAP, a program with draws intricate patterns with a very 
simple numeric seed; WATOR, a simulation of a biosphere where 
fish are eaten by sharks, sharks die and reproduce; CLUSTER, a 
program to simulate the motion of star clusters of two or more 
stars.  Several data files are included to demonstrate the 
program.  

Also included is another version of the venerable lunar lander, 
but this one uses graphics to show the relationship between 
altltude and velocity and also has a choice of many differnet 
moons and planets to try your skills at.

The main program is LAUNCHER.  LAUNCHER simulates a single stage 
to orbit launch vehicle.  This program is a very good quality 
simulation to learn a "feel" for orbital mechanics with.  You may 
design your own vehicle with this program and try to pilot it to 
orbit to rendezvous with the space station.  An interest in 
orbital mechanics is required (knowledge would be helpfull but 
not mandatory).  A doc file is included.
