The prototype version

 

Proto.exe   (1267 KB)
Proto.zip   (393 KB)

The prototype version of GENETICA’s programming environment. It runs in any Windows platform. In order to use this version you have to download the file Proto.exe (or download and unzip the zipped version) and double-click on the filename. No setup needed.

 

 

Documentation & Tutorials

 

GENETICA_Documentation.PDF (637 KB)

Includes the documentation (reference manual) of GENETICA's prototype version followed by a tutorial presenting sample applications (section 6). You can test these applications by using Proto.exe and the files Hamilton_Cycles.gen, G31.lst, ITE.gen and ITE.lst as described in the tutorial.
