The decay program is a computer version of a high school lab experiment in which a board of dice is used to analyze radioactive decay. There is the possibility to include up to four unstable isotopes in a decay process.

No install necessary. Download the executables and run them in a DOS prompt.
Run any of the four variations of the program:
DECAY.EXE - Program that simulates the radioactive decay from a
radioactive parent-atom to a stable daughter-atom
DECAY2.EXE - Program that simulates the radiative decay from a
radioactive parent-atom to a stable daughter-atom
with up to 4 unstable daughter-atoms in between.
DECAY_S.EXE - Program that simulates the radioactive decay from a
radioactive parent-atom to a stable daughter-atom.
This programs accepts only the path "A:\REPORTS\..."
for the report-file in order to prevent the user to
overwrite a file on the hard-disc

The program will record the number of all isotopes for each throw in the output file, for analysis.
