ConMan is written in stanard Fortran 77 with cray pointers and runs on most Unix systems with many Fortran compilers. Porting it to other systems should be straightforward. As with anything free it comes with no guarantees, but it has been benchmarked against other existing codes and analytic solutions.</div><div><br></div><div>Depending on community feedback and availability of resources, we can include more advanced features in a future release.</div><div><br></div><div>The source code and documentation for ConMan can be downloaded from:</div><div><br></div><div><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.geodynamics.org/cig/software/packages/mc/conman/">http://geodynamics.org/cig/software/packages/mc/conman/</a></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div><br></div><div>Scott King</div><div><br></div></body></html>
