Truss 48 library
================

This is version 2.3 of Truss 48, a Finite Elements Method application for the HP 48G/GX.
To my knowledge it is one of the few posted programs of its kind. There ain't a lot of
structural engineering programs out there!

This library can calculate:

- Member elongations
- Member normal force
- Member normal stress
- Joint displacements
- Reaction Forces

of any given truss, with the only limitation being the amount of free memory you have and
all of this at the penalty of a mere 7.7 kb.

All the files of the Truss48 library are copyrighted  by Caspar Lugtmeier.

Truss48 is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but
THE COPYRIGHT HOLDER PROVIDES THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND,
EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES
OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. IN NO EVENT WILL THE
COPYRIGHT HOLDER BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL,
INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE
THE PROGRAM.

This version of Truss48 is a Giftware release. You may use it as long as you like,
but only for non-commercial purposes and only as a private person. Permission to
copy the whole, unmodified, Truss48 library is granted provided that the copies are
not made or distributed for resale (excepting nominal copying fees) and provided
that you include on each copy this copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty.

The enclosed documentation is in the dutch language (the library itself uses english!) so
some of you will experience problems while trying to read it. I am busy with the
translation to english. The library is pretty easy to use though and has got a lot of help
screens built in. And who knows, you might learn some Dutch!

If you have got any questions about the methods used or want to tell me what a great
program I've written (or you want to complain), just send me some e-mail or a postcard.
