Sim2Oogl was initially developed with aspirations of serious
quantitative analysis in mind; however, after some time it was noted that
it's main developer, Geometry Centre, has been inactive since early
1998 and thus active support is no longer available. Both John and
myself had planned to contact groups using Geomview for 3-D
visualisation of N-Body data in the hope that their experiences would
help guide our usage of Geomview. Could John's existing software, which
displayed different aspects of the data in phase space, be superceded
by a programme which used Geomview to display this information? This
question was left unanswered, but my feeling is that it may be
possible, but only if a significant portion of time is devoted to
modifying the package as it stands. Despite this rather disheartening outcome, Sim2Oogl in its present form is a simple, robust programme which
quickly and effectively converts data into a form which gives the
researcher a ``feeling'' for the main qualitative features of the
system being studied.
