Geology 777 Software Files for Downloading from my site

Updated:Sept 8, 2008 to modify the Dept ftp computer address

Monte Carlo programs (all are Windows based):

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. ************************************************
