We have written TGGE-STAR for MS-DOS in the age of graphical user
interfaces. Isn't this an anachronism ?.
Well, there were several reasons:
- MELT87: MELT87.EXE which is embedded is compiled for
MS-DOS.
- Compatibility: Currently, there is a change in the academic
world from MICROSOFT to the old operation systems UNIX/LINUX.
Therefore it is very important to be platform independent. Platform
independence is only given for pure MS-DOS. The program runs on DOS,
WINDOWS2000 and even under LINUX.
- JAVA would be platform independent too but is still currently too slow.
If somebody would like to port this program on an other operation
system, we would be very interested.
