Re: Software to solve Bateman Equations

["Paul R. Steinmeyer" <prstein@gyral.com>]

Hello;

One program that can do what you seek is the "Radioactive Decay
Calculator."  (http://www.dwjames.com/rdc.html)

The version of the program I have is, I believe, a little old (designed
for Windows 3.1) but it works fine under Windows 98 and Windows 2000.  I
have also heard that the author has been busy upgrading the software. 
The program works just fine and has never had any Y2K problems.

I plan on adding this capability to my own program, RadCalc™, within
about three months.

Regards,

Paul
