At least two simulation tools have been specially developed for the Macintosh: Extend and Perspective. They employ the Mac's graphical interface to support graphical model construction. Surely a comparable tool could do the same thing on the Amiga. On the Amiga, you could do something even nicer: If the simulation executive had an AREXX port, it could output a stream of simulation events via the AREXX port to any other Amiga application that also had an AREXX port. This would enable you to interface a variety of AREXX-capable "back-ends" to the simulation executive: -- animation tools -- data analysis and data reduction tools (could conceivably use spreadsheets or DBMS's) -- business and/or scientific graphics tools Steven Litvintchouk MITRE Corporation Burlington Road Bedford, MA 01730 (617)271-7753 ARPA: sdl@mbunix.mitre.org UUCP: ...{att,decvax,genrad,necntc,ll-xn,philabs,utzoo}!linus!sdl "Where does he get those wonderful toys?" -- Steven Litvintchouk MITRE Corporation Burlington Road Bedford, MA 01730 (617)271-7753 ARPA: sdl@mbunix.mitre.org UUCP: ...{att,decvax,genrad,necntc,ll-xn,philabs,utzoo}!linus!sdl "Where does he get those wonderful toys?"
