I will be teaching a course in simulation next semester.  I have
taught this course based on Fortran, SLAM and Simscript, using a
mainframe.  The students are juniors and seniors in Computer
Science.

This time I am giving serious consideration to using GPSS/H as one
textbook, _An Introduction to Simulation_, by Thomas J. Schriber,
John Wiley and Sons, 1990, provides a GPSS/H compiler on diskette
for the PC with the text.   Does anyone know of a text which
provides the compiler with the test other than this one?  Has
anyone used this text -- how did the students like it?

Iam interested in testing different building designs for aerodynamic

FLUENT - it costs about 2,500 USD and since I am a student it will not
be possible for me to purchase such a program.

Are there any PD/Shareware programs that will give me a visual output
of my tests?! Preferable for IBM compatible PCs, HP unix machines or

Periodically, I turn on a program which keeps statistics about host
and user name frequency in Usenet. The run I started on the 27th of
September, 1992 shows that .su is still in the top 20 most frequent
domains in Usenet, despite the fact that the Soviet Union doesn't
exist. The highest of the domains that used to be .su is .ua (the
Ukraine) at 34th. New names may appear fairly rapidly, but old ones
almost never die.

I had read once that the QWERTY keyboard layout was designed when humans so
outpaced manual typewriters, that they had to be slowed down -- hence the 
awkward layout, and the raison d'etre of the Dvorak keyboard, which is more
efficient.

As pointed out by several posters, Shole's layout
was intended to avoid jamming the mechanism. 

Note, however, that in the 1890's, the ten or so 
typewriters on the (US) market ~all~ had different 
layouts! If memory serves me right, it was the marketing
success of the Remington machine that made QWERTY the
de facto standard it remains today.

Also, it took about ten years before someone struck on 
the idea that typing could be performed not only with 
your index fingers. (Possibly, the force required also
played an important role.) I.e., QWERTY was certainly
never intended for touch-typing.

As a strange coincidence the word 'typewriter' can be spelt out completely
on the top line of a qwerty keyboard - coincidence???

Many thanks in advance.

Hi!  My name is Joel Daniels, and I work at Gulfstream Aerospace in
Savahhah, GA.  We have a registered copy of MNU, running under Novell
3.11.  We are experiencing a strange problem.  For some reason, anyone
who starts up MNU on connection #29 has strange this happen.  The base
menu comes up, and then one of the submenus immediatly comes up.
Also, drive mappings are altered or deleted.  If you log in with 
supervisory priveleges, one of you drives is remapped.  If you log in
as a normal user, one of drive mappings is deleted.  This only 
happens on connection #29.  These effects are not restricted to
a particular station.  Whoever logs in and gets connection 29 gets
the gremlin.  Any suggestions?

Thanks,

WRONG.  I already discredited this in another group.  A "6" is not a pair
of thin closely spaced lines, the guard codes are not 6s.
