- The archive:
- xppaut.2.71.NIHS.bd.tar.gz
-
- Built using:
- gcc-2.7.2.1.f.1 (with g77/f2c support, for m68k and i386 binaries),
- cc-2.5.8 (with f2c support, hppa and sparc binaries)
- libX11.a (Xnext X11R6 library).

- OVERVIEW
-
- XPP is a tool for solving differential equations, difference equations,
- delay equations, functional equations, boundary value problems, and
- stochastic equations. It evolved from a chapter written by John Rinzel and
- Bard Ermentrout on the qualitative theory of nerve membranes and eventually
- became a commercial product for MSDOS computers called PHASEPLANE. It is
- now available as a program running under X11 and UNIX.
-
- The code brings together a number of useful algorithms and is extremely
- portable. All the graphics and interface are written completely in Xlib
- which explains the somwhat idiosyncratic and primitive widgets interface.
-
- XPP contains the code for the popular bifurcation program, AUTO. Thus, you
- can switch back and forth between XPP and AUTO, using the values of one
- program in the other and vice-versa. There is a "friendluy" face on AUTO
- as well. You do not need to know much about it to play around with it.

-
- INSTALLATION
-
- A simple Installer.app package, to be placed anywhere, but /usr/local
- is a good place to start.
