Geology 777 Software Files for Downloading from my site
Updated:May 21, 2014 (DOS Box)
***************************Running DOS on 64 bit Win7 PCs******************************
Some programs here below are older DOS items, especially the very useful GMRFilm.
To run these DOS programs on 64 bit computers under Win7 requires a DOS emulator.
There is a free program DOSBox (available from Source Forge). Download it.
1. You create a folder directly under c: (e.g., give folder a name such as old-dos-stuff)
and place in it the DOSBox program and the DOS programs
2. You edit the DOSBox config file (Options) last line (auto exec) to mount that folder as
the a drive (e.g. mount a c:\old-dos-stuff)
3. Then you run DOSBox, cd to the a: drive and bingo, your dos programs are sitting on the
emulated a: drive and can run there.
****************************************************************************************
Programs (some are Windows, others the old but good DOS):
- David Joy's Programs
Download the appropriate version of the Monte Carlo software to your computer. Create a folder and unzip/unstuff the files in it (many files created, including some documentation). This is very good software and I have been using it for several years, usually at least once a week, to answer questions I or researchers have regarding the excitation volume usually in reference to thin films or small inclusions.

- CASINO
"Casino", developed by Raynald Gauvin and associates at the Universite de Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada, is extremely valuable. It runs under Windows and is quite flexible and user friendly Download it from the Casino Web Site
Feng Lu, in our 777 class, wrote up a sheet of instructions for a quick start with CASINO.
