I just got the following info from Todd Johnson regarding the
availability of a free limited version of Franz's Allegro CL for
Windows.  ACT-R 2.1 for Windows is accessible either through ACT-R's
home page at http://sands.psy.cmu.edu/ or directly at
ftp://ftp.andrew.cmu.edu/pub/act-r/ftp/release/ACT-R_2.1/Windows/

I don't know if you guys are aware of this, but Allegro is distributing a
free version of Allegro CL for Windows. It has a limited heap size and no
compiler, but I just tried it and it seems to run Act-R just fine, certainly
a lot faster than a Mac IIci running MACL (I have a Pentium 90 running
Windows NT). You can download the free ACL from Franz's web page:
http://www.franz.com/. You might want to add a link from the Act-R page to
Franz's site, since this is a very easy and cheap way for Windows users to
experiment with Act-R.

hi.  i just uploaded my extensions to the act-r contributed directory.
the menu code should be a big improvement over the earlier code (which
i wrote).  the rest should be useful to anyone who uses act-r.  if
anyone's interested, i've also ported the menu code to acl.

* Includes new development environment, visual/action 
        interface and integrated experiment software.

* Preference given to graduates of previous summer school
        and those who can bring their own portable computer.
