Is that available somewhere?


It isn't at the moment, but I was recently going through my old
cassette tapes (!) and found it.  I'll add it to my web site
within the next week.  (Must...resist...temptation...to...clean...

OK, the HEX.DUMP.RDR.SHK is on my website.

I also added another program recently retrieved from my cassettes:
N.BODY.SHK--a program I wrote to do a gravitational simulation of
N-bodies, with hi-res display of the orbits.

It has provision to "fly" any of the bodies with keyboard-controlled
thrusters, and you can zoom in and out, and select to diaplay from the
point of view of any body or from center of mass coordinates!
