Purpose: |
To demonstrate the manner in which chemicals move through different soils. CMIS utilizes a split screen technique with animation to enable users compare movement in different soil-chemical-management systems. It is designed to complement educational materials developed by Dr. Hornsby for primary and secondary schools.

|
Computer Platform: |
The software is written in Java and runs as a Web Start application. The Java run-time package and Web Start software are available free of charge from Sun Microsystems, Inc. The program was developed and tested on various Windows platforms as well as on Linux and MacOS X. We recommend 128 MB or more of Random Access Memory. Approximately 40 MB of disk space is required.

Link for Java Software: |
Before a Java Web Start program can be used on a computer, the supporting software must be installed. This is needed only 1 time per computer no matter how many different applications use it. Sun Microsystems Inc provides this package free of charge at http://java.sun.com/ or it can be downloaded here. If this is the first time you are using it, just download the file from the site above. Follow the instructions given there for installations. I recommend that you accept the default values proposed in the install process.
