[net.unix] SIMULATION LANGUAGE FOR UNIX?

ix255@sdcc6.UUCP (John Antypas @ UC San Diego) (08/09/85)

Does anyone out there know if there is a dynamic modelling language
for UNIX/C.  We currently use Dynamo under VMS and though it is 
useful, we would prefer something under UNIX.  (Besides, the Fortran
produced by Dynamo is not the easiest to work with.) All suggestions
are very welcome.

I'm not sure what a dynamic-modelling language is, but for
discrete-event simulation there are a few good choices.
	Simscript is now available for UNIX.  Contact CACI, wherever
		they are.  A good language;  my department didn't have
		enough demand to get a license for our machine, but it
		must be real nice to use on UNIX instead of IBM TSO.
	
	For C-based languages, there's C++, an object-oriented
		outgrowth of C, and there's Concurrent C.  Both are
		good languages to write simualtions in.
