DF	Digital Files, 1987-2008
		Chaos theory and strange attractor data visualization software, computational software and accompanying data files, presentations, text documents, audio files, games, and email. The digital files were copied from storage media found independent of the paper files including Lorenz's personal computer and a variety of disks. In instances where digital materials were found with the collection's paper content, the digital materials are listed and described alongside the paper records.
		File structure is largely maintained as received. Listed chronologically.
		"Edward Lorenz, work@home, 1999-2001," personal computer files, 1987-2008
			Digital ID: mss85426_047_001
			Files exported from a disk image of a Delta Dimension XPS R450 personal desktop computer labeled "Edward Lorenz, work@home, 1999-2001". The computer was in use until 2008 by multiple individuals including his son, Edward H. Lorenz. The content includes "The Attractor," a 2004 Windows application for visualizing strange attractor data. The software was developed by Robert Cornett under the supervision of Lorenz. Computational software applications include Absoft Fortran 77 and 90, and Microsoft FORTRAN PowerStation Version 1.0a. There are data files accompanying these programs. Printouts of some of this data can be found in the Science File series. Also included are text documents, games, image files, and scans of Lorenz's published papers as well as material by Lorenz's son, Edward H. Lorenz.
