I had the same problem in replying to this posting, so for better or
worse here is my reply.

Dear Adam:

The program GEP205 is almost exactly what you want, except that it is
set up to run on windows. However, i think the author of the program
set it up in such a way that the simulator can be easily separated
from the interface. There are also a number of reaction kinetic
solvers that I have tried out from a site in Oklahoma, but I should
recheck that before I get into any trouble. There is also a mailing
list (somewhat inactive) which has been set up to discuss these issues
- there is more info available on this in the .zip files i have listed
below.
SO, here are the files you want
Directory PD1:<MSDOS.BIOLOGY>
Filename Type Length Date Description
==============================================
GEP205B.ZIP B 552087 930210 WIN31: Simulation of biochemical pathways
GSRC205B.ZIP B 298963 930210 Source code of GEP205B.ZIP simulation program
(this translates into oak.oakland.edu:/pub/msdos/biology/gep205b.zip,
and gsrc205b.zip)
For Unix systems look at
kekule.osc.edu:/pub/chemistry/kinetics,kinetics2
Also, Archie shows several Macintosh files (such as
/micros/mac/umich/misc/biology: enzymekinetics1.0c.sit.hqx (presumably
the Umich Macintosh archives and also found in
fly.bio.indiana.edu:/molbio/mac/enzymekinetics.*)
there is also a Maple (symbolic algebra system similar to Mathematica) system
which will do symbolic solutions of enzyme systems.
