Interactive DYNAMO for active modelling

"Interactive (time sharing) versions of DYNAMO have been popular since the advent of the first CTSS version.  DYNAMO II was first checked out as an interactive version, and the first S/360 DYNAMO operated under CP67/CMS.  In 1971, the interactive version was converted to the RAX operating system by Pugh-Roberts Associates and Boston University, and in 1972 this version was tuned to the TSO system.  An interactive version of DYNAMO II/F was developed in 1972 by Mr. Wright.
An interactive version of DYNAMO suggests the possibility of interaction during the simulation.  The user might examine the state of the system and decide what action he feels is appropriate.  Such a version of DYNAMO has been developed by Mr. Pugh and is referred to as Gaming DYNAMO, as gaming is one of the obvious uses for such a system.  A game is constructed from all the usual DYNAMO equation types plus one additional type ? Decision.  Decisions are those variables that can be changed during interaction with the game.  The current Gaming DYNAMO was developed by D. Ross Hunter of Pugh-Roberts Associates, Inc. as an extension to DYNAMO/F."
