I'm about ready to release a new build.  For those of you here, you get to
try it out before it goes public on the web site.  The fixes and changes in
this build include:

    '   bugfix - inconsistent results when clicking buttons or changing
fields with a sim running  
    '   file association with .bsx 
    '   bugfix - files not loaded correctly when saved with 'use thrust
coefficient' instead of nozzle calcs
    '   added mass flow
    '   added graph x axis start and stop for zooming in on the graph
    '   bugfix - star major width values not displaying correctly in graph
    '   bugfix - ctrl-c to stop simulation was not working
    '   bugfix - if BurnSim was closed when max kn loop was running, would
get into a loop and process would never die
    '   bugfix - ENG export was using 'open' file dialog instead of 'save'
file dialog
    '   put back expansion ratio color coding
    '   printing re-worked
    
And there's some other stuff that has changed that I just plain forgot to
make a note of and cant remember at the moment.  Its available for download
at the location below, please give it a try and let me know if you find any
bugs!  Give the new printing setup a try and let me know how it works for
you.  I only have one printer here to test with, so I'm wondering how it
works out on other devices.

On a separate note, I've created a new forum for BurnSim discussions.  I get
a lot of email questions that would often best be answered in a larger
audience, and I'm always interested in hearing how folks are liking BurnSim
(or not).  To subscribe, send an email to
burnsimdiscussion-subscribe at burnsim.com 

Thanks!

Whoops, forgot one of the larger changes.  2 new grain types have been added
to BurnSim!

First, tablet grains.  These are simply uninhibited BATES grains.  Not only
the cores and ends burn, but also the outside surface.  They can have core
diameter set to zero to simulate a simple cylinder shape.   

Second are pie segment grains.  This is essentially a bates grain that is
cut into pie shaped segments by slicing down the axis.  Selecting this grain
type and seeing the resulting image will make it clear what this looks like.

Thanks again,

Greg
