For the plugin version, everyone must send me $30 dollars c/o Kagi Software per server running the counter. For the CGI version, it's $25, but individuals, educational institutions, and non-profit organizations get a break and don't have to pay. For more payment information please see the license agreement, the included Register application, and the web site. Please read the following for important changes in functionality!!! ------------------------ Changes in Functionality: * [PLUGIN ONLY] Changing preferences in the Count WWWebula Setup application may take up to 1 minute before being propogated to the plugin. If you change preferences via the remote administration functionality of the plugin, the changes are immediate. * Fixed all known/reported crashers in both the CGI and the Plugin. * [CGI ONLY] Disabled AppleEvent threading. This may slow down the responsiveness a bit, but it will be much more stable. * [CGI ONLY] CGI will now remember the Quit On Idle setting. * Now uses Non-LZW-based GIF compression code.

Program description: YP Slider Crank simulates the motion of a piston activated by a slider crank mechanism. The crank is in uniform rotational motion (constant angular velocity), causing the piston to move with a variable acceleration. Relative lengths of the crank arm and the connecting rod may be changed easily. During the simulation, it is possible to display the following vectors: acceleration, velocity and position, and the following graphs: acceleration, velocity and position versus time. Bugs fixed in this version: - Older versions required too much RAM when they were used on big screens (larger than 15 inches). This bug has been fixed.
