[comp.ai] PC version of GENESIS

thangiah@plains.NoDak.edu (sam r. thangiah) (01/23/91)

For those who have been interested in attaining a version of the GENESIS
that can be run on a PC, this is the information that I have so far.

When you buy the book:

        Author:    Lawrence (Dave) Davis
        Title:     The Genetic Algorithm Handbook
        Publisher: Van Nostrand Reinhold  (1-800-926-2665) $49.95

there is supposed to be an order form that can be used to order the PC version
of GENESIS.  I have just ordered a copy and that is the extent of the current
information.

Is this the same program called GENESIS ( GEneral NEural SImulation System )
originally written for SUN/DEC graphics w/station & X11 by CALTECH ?
How much does it cost for the PC version anyway ? ( On top of the price of
the book ).

	No! This will be the genetic algorithm suite written by John
Greffenstete (sp?) and updated by Nici Schroudolph (sp?). I can see that
this name clash is going to cause loads of confusion!,
