|GA library written in C. Simple, easy to use, many knobs to turn.
|Both generational and steady state models supported. Many standard
|operators. Config file obviates recompilation. Function pointers to
|all operators.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
---------------
Please see the file `LICENCE' for important licensing information.
Any bug reports, suggested improvements, and complaints are welcomed and
will be incorporated into future versions of LibGA.
As is usual, the user manual has not yet been written... ;-)
LibGA has been run successfully on the following systems:
Sun SparcStations
Apollo workstations
PC clones
NeXT
Amiga
If you port LibGA to other systems, please let me know.
HOW TO MAKE THE SOURCE:
----------------------
Make sure you are in the `libga100' directory. Then just type `make' for
the Unix version or `make -fmakefile.tc' for the DOS version.
Run ga-test to be sure everything is working OK.
Parameters can be changed in ga-test.cfg without the need to recompile.
If you have any problems, don't hesitate to contact me.
