RELEASE:
16 May 96 Release 6.0
CONTENTS OF SUBDIRECTORIES:
acc -- ANSI C source for useful subroutines to link to applications
doc -- documentation pages for these subroutines
command -- useful shell scripts and login procedures
SUMMARY OF USE:
ARCHIVE is in: wnlib/acc/text.a
H FILES are in: wnlib/acc/h/*.h
MAN PAGES are in: wnlib/doc/man/*.man
DISCUSSION:
This directory contains numerous tools that I have found to be very
useful in my programming practice. The subroutines in acc form a
useful base for quickly writing large, efficient, reliable C/UNIX
programs for wide variety of applications. These routines form
an integrated package: they rely upon each other, they use the
same naming conventions, etc.
Particularly useful packages in this directory include:
wnmem -- improved memory allocator, useful in almost everything.
wnmemd -- allocated memory debugger.
wnsort -- high quality sorting package.
wnhash -- generic hash table package, useful for parsing and
compiling and other searching applications.
wnsll -- singly linked list package
wnminv -- matrix inverse and least squares inverse.
wnsplx -- simplex method package for linear programming, useful
for solving highly complex, difficult optimization
problems.
wnconj -- conjugate directions optimization package for minimizing
non-linear differentiable functions
wnanl -- simulated annealing package, useful for attacking complex
combinatorial optimization problems
The code in this directory is generally industrial quality code.
New releases will come out
periodically, and can be obtained from where you obtained this release,
or from me or Spike. This code is in the
public domain and I encourage you to give it to anybody who wants it.
However, I ask that you consult me before modifying any of it,
to avoid multiple versions floating around. Obviously, if
you are relying on a modified version, you will have trouble
using the new releases (which won't have your modifications).
Good luck!!
