Is it just impossible or is there any way to make it? I'm looking forward to your advice and solution, as I installed the SoftWindows only to run Oxcal in my Mac. Hardware: PowerMacintosh 9500/132 + 200Mhz daughter board System: OS 7.6 Software: SoftWindows95 ver. 4.0 Error Message: "Floating Point: Square Root of Negative Number" Installation brings no error of problem. Just I cannot start the program. By confirming the message, the program shut down by itself. Thanks in advance.

We are revising our entry on Archaeology for the ACADEMIC AMERICAN ENCYCLOPEDIA, a 21-volume reference set published in the U.S. I am looking for a photo of Willard Libby ca. 1948, preferably in a lab setting, as well as a color photo that depicts the Carbon-14 dating process as it is performed in a laboratory today. Do you have any photographs or know of sources I might contact to obtain these two images? Thanks, in advance, for your help.
