Dennis: You've got my appreciation and your money back! I've put in most of the changes to fix the error you found, and I've been having a ball seeing the effects produced by the "correct" gravity. Neat stuff! I'll be making a few enhancements/fixes and E-mailing the new code. I'll probably leave the old equation as an option, until I find out if 1GA29 (and others) can be done with the real laws of nature. It's hard to believe that something that realistic could result from wrong equations! Many results, surprisingly, are similar to the ones resulting from the wrong equation. I haven't had time to redo the spiral galaxy yet, but that will apparently work using either equation. I've looked at the galaxy article again; the authors of the article were careful enough not to claim they had proven that gravity did it. Now you've helped find an alternate possible explanation for spiral galaxies <g>. I am still not an expert in Physics, but I feel a little bit closer. Thanks again! Ed K
