------------------------------------------------------
		Zelig++ v0.9 Available

Zelig++ is an enhanced version of the generic forest gap model Zelig
1.0, which was originally written by Dr. Dean Urban, in 1990.  The
most significant new biological components of Zelig++ involve
simulations of phenology and a revised tree-species temperature
response which is independent of range data.  This version also
supports the simulation of frost regimes, and contains an improved
monthly precipitation model. It is easy to run the model against
historical climate data or against climate change scenarios.

Zelig++ has been completely re-written in ANSI C. All memory
allocation is dynamic. It provides a command line based user interface
and a programmable scripting language or model shell.

Zelig++ has a built-in graphical display facility based on the gnuplot
plotting package, and an interactive command line interface. The
ability to simulate certain aspects of natural disturbance, timber
harvesting and silviculture remains from the previous version,
Zelig:B.C. (Environmental Software 1993 (8) p219-230).

The source distribution for Zelig++ is available by anonymous ftp from
grebe.geog.ubc.ca, in directory Zelig++ as Zelig++.0.9.tar.Z.  A copy
of the preliminary users notes is part of the distribution; a
postscript version is in the ftp directory as doc.ps.Z

Zelig++ requires a UNIX(tm)-like operating system and X-windows to
run.  It has been successfully installed on SUN Sparcs and on
Silicon Graphics Indigos.

Zelig++ itself is free software, and comes with no warranty.
Other parts of the source distribution are freely distributable 
under a variety of licenses, all of which restrict warranty.
