Hi Adrian, I wrote something vaguely similar after getting frustrated at a number of problems with free (either as in beer or speech) physics software. Maybe you can find something useful in it: http://www.princeton.edu/~kmccarty/physics-software-rant.html In case you need a licensing statement, I hereby license the entire contents of that HTML file (not including images or CSS) under the BSD license (found in /usr/share/common-licenses/BSD on a Debian system), substituting my name for "The Regents of the University of California" and "the University". regards, - -- Kevin B.
