The 2008 Budget Rating Simulator is available for downloading. Only one file (SIMULATE.MDB) has changed from the past years versions of the Simulator Program and it can be copied onto a computer that has been loaded with a previous year's program. This file should be copied into the SIMUWIN directory on your computer where the Simulator Program is loaded.

If you have the Simulator program installed from a previous year, download the SIMULATOR database (version 2008)

If your browser doesn't immediately prompt you to save the file after clicking this link, hit 'stop' and hold down the SHIFT key and click the mouse on the link.

If you do not have the Simulator Program installed, you will need to install the 1998 Version of the Simulator, then follow the procedures above.

To install the 1998 Simulator:

• The file SIMULATE.ZIP should be downloaded into a TEMPORARY directory and unzipped using the PKUNZIP program. From the DOS prompt, in your temporary directory, execute the command: pkunzip SIMULATE.ZIP
• Before you begin, close all programs currently running (including the MS Office Shortcut Bar). Next, select START, RUN, SETUP.EXE from the TEMPORARY directory.
• The SETUP.EXE program is one of the files that you just unzipped. (After you run SETUP and have the simulator working, you can delete the files from your temporary directory.)
• If you do not have the PKUNZIP program, contact your project leader to request a copy.
• Download the SIMULATE.ZIP file. (Note, this file is approximately 5 MB and may take a while to download). If you prefer, you can download the simulator onto diskettes. You will need 4 diskettes.
