The simulation code KRAKEN confirms analytical predictions of head-tail stability criteria, in the presence of momentum dependent linear coupling. It also confirms that resistive wall transverse wake fields are not a serious threat to strong head-tail stability in RHIC, at the vulnerable stage of proton injection. Equation 10, derived from the perspective of two macroparticles, potentially offers a very convenient seminumerical evaluation of the effects of arbitrary transverse wake potentials. It remains to be seen how well the two macroparticle results correlate with simulations using, say, 100 macroparticles. KRAKEN is still under rapid development. Future plans are to include resonant wakefields, multiple bunches, space charge wakefields, betatron detuning, and a connection to the detailed RHIC impedance database
