- This disk contains a hypertext, graphics-oriented, physics tutorial which
- develops a unique "PHYSICS PROPERTY CHART" analogous to the chemical periodic
- table. The relationships between the properties are clearly shown so that
- relativisticly correct equations can be determined directly from the chart.
- Property names are "BUTTONS" which provide physical and historical data on
- the property when "pushed".
-
- Although this original work challenges conventional physics, it provides a
- simple, elegant, overview of conventional physics which can be understood
- by those with little training or math.

- PHYSICSX.EXE is a 264K self-extracting archive containing the following files:
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- CHART .CRD A file containing a chart of physics properties.
- EXPLAIN .CRD A file which explains the physics property chart.
- PHYSICS .CRD A tutorial on physics.
- PROPERTY.CRD A file containing descriptions of various properties.
- CARDS .SYN A system configuration file.
- HELPBOX .HLP A context sensitive help file.
- PHYSICS1.PCT A graphic file.
- PHYSICS2.PCT Another graphic file.
- PHYSICS .EXE The main program.
- PHYSICS .COM The graphics driver loader.
- HGC .COM A Hercules graphics driver.
- MATRIX .COM An EGA graphics driver. ( Also works with VGA. )
- Other graphic drivers are available.
- ===============================================================================
- To use the program.
- 1. Copy the PHYSICSX.EXE file to the desired directory.
- 2. Type PHYSICSX <RETURN> to unarchive the files.
- The unarchived files require about 1.2 MEG of disk space.
- 3. Type PHYSICS <RETURN> to run the program.
- 4. MOUSE to the desired PROPERTY or FUNCTION and CLICK.
- If you have no mouse,
- TAB and CURSOR to the desired function and press RETURN.
- Press ALT to enter the menu.
- 5. Select PREVIOUS LINKED CARD from the menu or press <CONTROL Q>
- to return to the main chart when running the program.
- 6. Press F1 for help at any time.
- 7. Don't rename or delete the files as they are linked togeather.
- If you distroy a link, the program will crash.
- 8. To use the program with a HERCULES card, delete MATRIX.COM
- 9. You can delete PHYSICSX.EXE from your working disk after installation.

- I did not do a good job on the PROPERTY data but as soon as I free up some
- time, I will clean up, add to and improve on it. I did not password protect
- this file so you are free to work on it yourself. If you put togeather a good
- data file and would like to share it, please send me a copy.
- Contact me if you want to move this tutorial to the Macintosh.
