I am teaching an undergraduate course in Algorithm Design (at Junior level).
Recently, I came across some software that graphically simulates the
performance of different sorting algorithms on Macintosh.  This particular
program has been very helpful in instruction allowing the students to
visualize the performance of algorithms.

I have been wondering if there is any software for simulating other
algorithms, for example, the minimum path algorithm and other network flow
algorithms.  If you know of anything like this, I'll appreciate your
informing me about the source from where I can acquire it.

Thanks for your help.
