I would like some general info on Chaos, what it does and how to get it. Can something be sent to me on this software? Thanks. Brian Wait

How're you doing, Brian? You're asking about CHAOS – it was a great package, but we've stop selling it. There may be a few stores you can get old stock. The product was inspired by the James Gleik book on CHAOS. There are some chaos "rules" that you can tweak with slider bars and see the graphic result. You can have a pendulum path react to magnets. You can grow mountains. You can generate Mandlebrot patterns. And more. There's great text by Rudy Rucker! Definitely worth doing a BROWSE search for the keyword CHAOS. There are screen captures, and even a working CHAOS program. If it had been included in the package it would have been one of the modules you could choose from the main menu. We don't have any copies. Try calling around, particularly if you have a computer software store that is a chain like Egghead, in case one of their stores has a copy you can get. Good luck!

Nik, as you're no longer SELLING it, why not post a copy for free download here? Dietmar

"as you're no longer SELLING it, why not post a copy for free download here?" I've asked. We'll see what we get back!

Dietmar, I'm still asking about your question! Because it's an obitted product, there's no one who can help! Still asking though….
