Rocket Calc
A center of pressure calculator for Windows.


	This program is my first attempt at creating a fully working
program for the Windows operating system.  I have previously only worked
with C on Amiga, UNIX and the PC console platforms.
	Recently, I have begun learning Windows programming and it is
coming very quickly.  Once you learn the basic concepts, everything else
falls into place.

		Now to let you know about Rocket Calc.

	This program is very basic in nature.  All values to input are
shown in the picture on the data entry window.  The Cp of the nose and 
Zt values are described in 'help'.  Barrowman's method is used to calculate
the Cp, and it is given in units from the nose cone.  The units used are
centimeters, but I believe the units are truly arbitrary.  
	One note though.  There is a discrepancy between my calculations
and the ones that VCP gives.  I am using the Barrowman equations as given
in "Topics in Advanced Model rocketry" by Mandell, et all just as VCP says
it uses.  I am currently in the process of researching to find the
original Barrowman paper to verify my equations.


	Please give me any feedback that you have.  I am curious as to what
you think of this endeavor.

Thanks,
