A couple of subscribers have inquired about archiving of the digest.
At present, we are not supporting an archival process but this might
change in the future. An automatic indexing program would make
archiving more attractive. I will look into this possibility.

I have written UNIX scripts which make the editing process much
easier - they will automatically generate volume and issue numbers
for each digest issue sent out. Currently there will be 10 issues and
then the volume number will be automatically updated and the issue #
reset to 1. This numbering procedure might be useful for those of
you who do your own archiving.

Subject: simulation software


I would like to make a list of all available simulation software that
is available over the network. The software should NOT be tied to one
specific application but should be either a simulation language or
a toolkit (a set of routines) that can be used for a wide variety
of applications. The software should either be 1) freely distributed, or
2) distributed with only a nominal media charge. No commercial replies,
please. Distributions via FTP (such as Columbia's NEST program) are highly
encouraged - in this manner, we net.people can avoid the real hassles
involved with trying to get Purchase Orders out (even if they are
for only $100!!). For info. on the NEST program.....see below.

After a couple of weeks, I will make a compiled list and post it to
the digest. Thanks!!

Simulationists:

 The NEST distributed simulation software is available via FTP. I
recently received this message. Recall that NEST was discussed in
a previous digest issue. -pf

Reply-To: dupuy@columbia.edu

Thanks for your interest in the Nest network simulation testbed.

Nest is now available without cost to non-profit research and educational
organizations which have access to the ARPA Internet.  Both documentation and
full sources are available on the Columbia Vax [columbia.edu: 10.3.0.89].

There are four files in the ~ftp/pub directory:

 221184 bytes	nest-25-doc.tar		Lineprinter formatted documentation.
 438272 bytes	nest-25-doc2.tar	Scribe and PostScript formatted docs.
 339968 bytes	nest-25-src.tar		Source for Nest simulation library.
 208896 bytes	nest-25-disp.tar	Source for user interface display.
