GAlib: A C++ Genetic Algorithm Library

GAlib is a C++ library of genetic algorithm objects.  With GAlib you can add 
evolutionary algorithm optimization to almost any program using any data 
representation and standard or custom selection, crossover, mutation, 
scaling, and termination methods.  

The library requires a cfront 3.0 compatible C++ compiler.  I have tested 
GAlib on MacOS using Metrowerks and Symantec development environments, 
DOS/Windows using Borland C++ and MS VC++, and various UNIX platforms using 
g++, CC, and DCC.  Some genome classes use templates, but you can define the 
NO_TEMPLATES flag if your compiler does not understand templates.  The default
configuration uses (not-necessarily-ansi) streams, but the NO_STREAMS 
directive lets you turn that off (for use with a GUI, for example).

DOCUMENTATION, UPDATES and MAILING LIST ---------------------------------------

Complete documentation in html format is available in the doc directory.  The 
FTP site contains PDF and PostScript(tm) versions.  For the most recent 
installation hints, bug fixes, and announcements, see the documentation at 
http://lancet.mit.edu/ga/

There are two GAlib mailing lists:  [e-mail] and [e-mail]
The first list is an unmoderated list intended as a forum for galib users to
help each other.  The second is only for announcements about GAlib updates.
To subscribe, send email to [e-mail] (or galib-announce-request)
with the word 'subscribe' in the subject and nothing in the body of the email.

WHERE TO GET IT ---------------------------------------------------------------

The source for this library is ftp://lancet.mit.edu/pub/ga/
There you will find MacOS, DOS/Windows, and UNIX versions of the library.  The
source code is the same for all platforms - the only difference is the naming
of files.  Makefiles for UNIX are included in the UNIX distribution, projects
for MacOS and Windows compilers are included in those distributions.

COMPILATION -------------------------------------------------------------------

There are two things to build: the library and the examples.  You can build
the library as a standalone archive, dll, static library, etc.  Or you can
compile-in only the GAlib files you need for your project.  Installation.html
in the doc directory has complete details.

Most problems people have when compiling GAlib are due to template instatiation
issues (not every compiler handles templates the same way).  See the 
installation notes for details.  The notes also include instructions for 
dealing with compilers that do not support templates.

BUGS 'n STUFF -----------------------------------------------------------------

If you use GAlib to solve your problems, please let me know how you used it.
A short paragraph describing the problem(s) on which you are working would be
wonderful :)

Send bug reports and suggestions for improvements to [e-mail].  
When submitting a bug report, please include the GAlib version number, machine
type, operating system and version number, and events that led up to you 
finding the bug.
