files with the Scientific Workplace. You can download viewer software
that will allow you to view Scientific Notebook files online. There
is no charge for the viewer. You can also download a time-locked, 30-day
free trial sample of the Scientific Notebook. There is no charge
for the first 30 days, but the software will no longer function beyond
the 30-day time limit. You can purchase the software for an unbelievable
