System requirements

Software

Created using StarView, a multi-platform application development framework, Chemical Kinetics Simulator v1.01 is available on 4 platforms: IBM OS/2 2.x, OS/2 Warp 3.0 and 4.0, System 7.x for Apple Macintosh, Apple Power Macintosh and Microsoft Windows 3.1/Windows 95/Windows NT.

  • No special memory requirements above those recommended for the operating system
  • Approximately 3 Mbytes of hard disk space
  • A math co-processor is required. Note that many microprocessors of recent manufacture have a math coprocessor included on-chip - consult your owner's manual for more information on this.
