All these models recently posted sound very interesting, unfortunately I am  
unable to follow due to being Vensimless. It would be very useful if these  
models were held, with documentation, in one place so that when people get  
hold of Vensim or when new people join the list they are able to go through  
them easily. Perhaps, the final versions of your models could be put on a web  
or ftp site somewhere. I'd hate to miss out.

Regards,  
Rupert

I have them archived and I am sure Dag and Bill does as  
well. If and when you want them just give me a holler and  
I'll zip 'em together for you. Is there a reason you can't  
download Vensim PLE from

Rupert, I've been putting all those files on a floppy I've named Modeling  
Archives. You can call when you need them. There may be an even better archive  
in CSG archives.  
Best, Dick R.

No, the problem is my computer (at home). It's a very old laptop which I  
don't think is up to the job. However, a friend is about to lend me his  
newish computer so the problem might be resolved. It's still good to hear  
that archives of the models are available for newcomers.
