0.1 Version 0.4.3

The title of this section is change to reflect that it moved to beginning of the book.
While it move earlier but the name was not changed. Dr. Menikoff pointed to this
inconsistency, and the author is apologizing for this omission.
Several sections were add to this book with many new idea for example
on the moving shock tables. However, this author cannot add all the things that he
was asked and want to the book in instant fashion. For example, one of the reader
ask why not one of the example of oblique shock was not turn into the explanation
of von Neumann paradox. The author was asked by a former client why he didn’t
insert his improved tank filling and evacuating models (the addtion of the energy
equation instead of isentropic model). While all these requests are important, the
time is limited and they will be inserted as time permitted.
The moving shock issues are not completed and more work is needed
also in the shock tube. Nevertheless, the idea of moving will reduced the work
for many student of compressible flow. For example solving homework problem
from other text books became either just two mouse clicks away or just just looking
that the tables in this book. I also got request from a India to write the interface
for Microsoft. I am sorry will not be entertaining work for non Linux/Unix systems,
especially for Microsoft. If one want to use the software engine it is okay and
permitted by the license of this work.

0.2 Version 0.4.2
It was surprising to find that over 14,000 downloaded and is encouraging to receive
over 200 thank you eMail (only one from U.S.A./Arizona) and some other reactions.
