Demo/Trial Software

Downloadable Demos

Two demonstration programs are available, for each of Windows, Linux and Mac OS X. The main Winteracter demo shows off many of the product's GUI and graphics capabilities. The OpenGL demo concentrates on 3D graphics, using both direct calls to OpenGL and Winteracter's own easier to use 3D modelling interface.

Simply run the downloaded program and you will be prompted for an installation directory. The demo will be executed as soon as extraction is complete, provided you leave the "Run demo on completion" check box enabled.

30-day Evaluation Licence (Win32)

A trial version of Winteracter is available for use with selected Win32 Fortran compilers (one of Lahey LF95, Digital/Compaq Visual Fortran, Intel Visual Fortran or Absoft Pro Fortran). We recommend that potential purchasers run the main Winteracter demo first (see above) before requesting a trial version, since the demo provides a concise illustration of most Winteracter product features.

A 30-day Winteracter (Evaluation) licence can be requested via the link below. If your evaluation licence request is approved, installation codes will be sent by email. These will allow the trial software to be used for up to 30 days from the date that the Winteracter (Evaluation) licence is issued. The evaluation version is available as a single file download (approx 16mb).
