There is soon to be a brand-spanking-new version of QSIM, hopefully available
for ftp with Xwindow interfacing.  They keep telling me it will be ready
tomorrow, you know how those last minute production details can slow things

Another qualitative physics package, QPE -Qualitative Process Engine- by Ken
Forbus (formerly of U of Illinois, now at Northwestern) is available by
anonymous ftp from
	cs.uiuc.edu
	pub/QPE		directory
