Another Java program I wrote is a gravity and impact simulator. Two programs I wrote for DOS can be found in the SimTel repository: the Algebra Editor with 3D graphics and Impact v 2.1. Both of these programs include instructions and complete Turbo C source code. See my homepage for more information.
To whom, then, will you compare God?
Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, or with the breadth of his hand marked off the heavens?
Who has held the dust of the earth in a basket, or weighed the mountains on the scales and the hills in a balance?
Lift your eyes and look to the heavens: Who created all these?
He who brings out the starry host one by one, and calls them each by name.
Because of his great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing.
The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom.
-- Selections from Isaiah 40.
