A Winged-Edge Data Structure Visualization and Animation System Is Available.
    This is a prototype designed and implemented by graduate student Bryan Neperud who won a distinguished paper award at the MICS: 2005 conference for this work. This program is available in the common with filename Winged-Edge-Vis-Ani.zip. This is a Windows program. Since it is a very early prototype, it may have unexpected bugs. A rough document in html file format is included in the zip file.
